The Place of Placement Tests / Annual My Share Session

Saturday, April 7th, 2007, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Melodie Cook, Siebold University of Nagasaki

This month, we will have two different sessions. In the first part of the meeting, Melodie Cook will describe her university's experiences as they employed three placement measures to group first-year college students into four sections of a course in oral communication. These measures consisted of the TOEIC test, a self-assessment and an oral interview test; it was found that there were incongruities between test scores and learners' self-evaluations.

In the second half of the meeting, we have our annual My Share session: we invite all of you to bring any interesting, motivating ideas for the start of the new school year. All welcome for our third meeting of the year!

Those interested may join Nagasaki JALT's monthly e-mail newsletter list at their website.
