AE Live 4.2: Assess and Motivate: Student Portfolios and Self-Assessments in the EFL Classroom

This webinar is part of the American English LIVE online professional development series. For more resources to teach and learn English, visit http://americanenglish.state.gov. Authentic assessment is foundational to evaluating student learning through real-life performative tasks. The use of portfolios and self-assessments that document the completion of performance-based tasks is a great way to motivate students and measure learning. The goal of this session is to introduce different types of portfolios that can be applied across all levels and macro-skills. Participants will explore how to: 1) develop a variety of authentic tasks including different types of portfolios, self-assessments, and other performative tasks, 2) construct a workable rubric to measure achievement, and 3) increase student motivation via self-reflective assessment and instructor feedback.
