Effective assessment in MFLAnn Barnes & Marilyn Hunt |
|
Assessment is an area where teachers often feel least confident, yet properly used it can be a powerful tool for moving pupils forward in their learning. Effective assessment in MFL takes a comprehensive look at the different aspects of assessment which can occupy so much of a language teacher’s time and provides advice on ensuring that the time spent is useful and productive. The authors provide tasks, exemplar material and suggested activities throughout to support the development of effective assessment practices. These include ideas for assessing learning constructively, from tips for homework and vocabulary testing to more strategic functions such as marking and feedback to pupils, record-keeping and report-writing. Selected materials are included on an associated website to enable readers to tailor them to their own specific needs. The principles are applicable to all language-learning situations; examples refer specifically to Key Stages 3 and 4.
