The third of a series of five ELT presentations / workshops organized by the Center for English Language Teaching Materials at IFA in the academic year 2007/2008 will take place on Friday, March 14th 2008 at 4 p.m. room 601A.
The presentation will be given by dr Aleksandra Wach
Title : Assessment in foreign language teaching
Outline of the workshop:
While it seems to be clear that assessment constitutes an integral part of any language course, a lot of teachers do not realize what purposes it may serve and what forms it may take.
In the workshop, we will look at the role and place of feedback in the EFL classroom, the possible different areas of assessment, and the techniques used to evaluate particular skills and abilities. The difference between formative and summative assessment, as two approaches toward evaluating the learners’ progress, as well as the need to complement traditional assessment techniques with what may be referred to as “alternative assessment”, will be explained and focused on in the workshop.

Attendance is obligatory for all PNJA teachers and for doctoral students at IFA, but everyone concerned about their professional development is welcome as well.
