During the webinar, we will share, analyze and pilot rubrics to assess language performance and respond to some of these questions:
  • What instructions are needed to clearly describe the tasks and the required elements for the tasks?
  • What criteria will be used to evaluate the tasks and the quality of the performance?
  • How well does the rubric relate to the outcome(s) being measured?
  • Is the rubric feasible, manageable, and practical for use in my course?
  • Can the rubric be applied across different kinds of assignments?
  • What type of changes are necessary to adapt the rubric to a specific assignment, course typology, students’ age, etc.
Join us for our first first cooperative learning webinar! Each meeting will have a specific focus and each of us will cooperate, reflect, and share teaching materials or tools.
In our first meeting we will work on assessment tools, and specifically on the evaluation of rubrics for various levels of proficiency and communication modes. More information will be distributed to registered participants.
