Exploring Portfolio Assessment in the EFL Classroom

Sunday, October 26th, 2008, 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM

Speaker: Steve Quasha

In this workshop, the presenter will demonstrate how portfolio assessment plays an integral part in his communicative English courses at a Japanese women's university. Participants will experience tasks and activities that will enable them to successfully develop their own grading rubrics, peer assessment projects and learn how the notion of shared accountability improves language acquisition based on interactional theories of language. Furthermore, the notion of sharing information is central to Task-Based Learning and Teaching; the reporting phase.
