Self-assessment in Online Learning Contexts
This presentation will provide an overview of how student self-assessment can be utilized both for formative assessment (ongoing) as well as for summative assessment (major assignments). There has been much interest in using self-assessment as a means of involving students more in the learning process, which is thought to lead to more responsibility on the part of the learner. While self-assessment is often conflated with “student reflection,” in the research presented here, students’ assessments were given equal weight as their teachers and their ratings were reflected in their formal grades. Using research conducted in university writing courses in Japan, the presenter will illustrate how the procedure can be incorporated into the curriculum of both face-to-face and remote-learning contexts.
Project-Based Language Learning for Communicative Competence
This is an introductory presentation on the concept of Project-based Learning. The aim is to introduce curious teachers to how student motivation and engagement can be enhanced through long-term, significant project work in the language classroom. Examples of projects produced by high school and university students will be presented.
