 Dayna House

English Language Fellow in Buenos Aires will be giving a workshop.

 IPES Asilo 3255

Thursday, November 8 from 1:30 to 5:30 PM 




1:30 to 3:15 PM
TESTING - CREATING VALID EVALUATIONS FOR ALL 4 SKILLS (brief explanation below).
Finding a better way to evaluate the student's proficiency in the target language rather than evaluate a simple display of the student's grammatical knowledge. Effective testing requires careful planning.  Can we 'measure' the ability of a person to understand (listen, speak, read and write) a foreign language?   Are we evaluating knowing how to use language or the knowledge of language?  The best way to identify what the goals of a course are is to look at the tests a teacher produces.  If  tests are purely grammatical in spite of the fact students are taught communicative skill at least 30% of the time during class, one can conclude that the real purpose of this class is to teach the student grammatical competence.  This workshop will give teachers strategies for designing tests that are contextualized, integrative, interactive, communicative and that require cognitive processing on the part of the students to facilitate learning English in the EFL classroom.
3:15 to 3:45 PM – Coffee break
 3:45 to 5:30 PM –
THE ECRIF FRAMEWORK - A WAY OF LOOKING AT HOW STUDENTS LEARN (brief explanation below).
ECRIF is a framework that allows teachers to see activities and content from the perspective of student learning. ECRIF is a useful tool to analyze lessons plans so that teachers and know they are providing students with what they need to learn the language. This workshop will focus on understanding what the ECRIF framework is and how to apply it to textbook activities and lesson plans through pair and group practice on course book pages and lesson plans the presenter will provide.
*NOTE: Teachers should bring their current classroom book and sample lesson plans to the workshop
**Note: The ECRIF Framework was developed by Josh Kurzweil and Mary Scholl between 2004 and 2005 as they wrote the book Understanding Teaching through Learning for McGraw-Hill and the School for International Training.
