CEFR VS Assessment: How can new revisions help?

 

 

 

 

Abstract:  

CEFR has settled rules for determining students' language levels. Yet what is the relation between it and assessment? What are the new clarifications/descriptors added through the recently published CEFR revisions? Can these really promote teachers' assessment of their students' classwork and their lesson plans as well? Is there a place for technology also? Let's look it up!!

 


 

Target audience:   Supervisors, Head of Departments, Experienced and Novice Teachers 


 

 

Session objectives:  By the end of this session, the audience would be able to:

 

                                    a.  Understand the different scales and descriptors of the CEFR

                                    b.  Assessment their students and work according to the new CEFR revisions 

                                    c.  Develop teaching Speaking and Writing skills and assessing them 

 

 

 

Week 1:  Get introduced to each other and give an introduction about the general plan of the sessions and their outcome. What is the CEFR? Why was it formed? How is it divided? Why? Reflections will be done on a number of lessons from different books. 

Assignments for Teachers:  Refer back to CEFR and give us your reflections on them. What have you found out?

 

13-19 Jan. 2019

 


Week 2:  The homework assignment is to be checked and revised. Reflections will be discussed as well. This time the following questions will be dealt with: What revisions were added? How are they divided? How can these divisions help us as teachers and reflect on our work? Receptive and Productive skills are to be discussed in details with applications. What is the relation between them? 

Assignments for Teachers:  Apply the session on one receptive skill and one on productive skill 

 

20-26 Jan. 2019

 

Week 3:   The homework assignment is to be checked and revised. Discussions are to be directed towards "Interaction and Mediation". How do they link with receptive and productive skills. Why are they important? 

Assignments for Teachers:  Apply the session on Two different lessons

27 Jan.-2 Feb. 2019


 

Week 4:  The homework assignment is to be checked and revised. What is Plurilinguilism? What is Pluriculturalism? How about Young Learners? What have the revisions added to benefit them? How can we apply that in class?  Different applications are going to be done during the session.

Assignments for Teachers: Apply the items discussed on Two different lessons or situations that you faced in class before. 

3-09 Feb. 2019


 

Week 5:  After checking and discussing the homework assignments, a wrap up of all the sessions is to be discussed and important points are to be tackled. Time would be set for Q & A.
