Self-Evaluation

TESL 0140 Assessment and Evaluation Unit 4 At the outset of the Assessment and Evaluation course I created a  Learning Plan with three personal goals and a description of how I planned to achieve each one. As I review my goals and reflect on my learning experiences over the past four weeks, I can see that I have come a long way in my knowledge and understanding of assessment, but I am still by no means an expert; there is always more to learn! The topic of assessment was touched on in previous TESL courses that I have taken, however, until taking this course and completing the readings, activities, and assignments, I did not comprehend it to the extent that I now do. As a result of this course, I have a much deeper understanding of such things as the difference between an assessment and an evaluation, how to determine if an assessment is valid or not, and how to create or adapt effective formative and summative assessments.

Continued Professional Development Report

TESL 0170 Practicum in Teaching ESL The professional development resource that I selected to engage with and analyze is the free online CLB Bootcamp provided by the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks. The CLB Bootcamp is a 10-hour self-directed online training course that introduces and explains the CLB’s, as well as how to use the CLB’s for lesson planning and student assessment. The CLB Bootcamp is divided into three modules: CLB Basics , Planning and the CLB and Classroom Assessment and the CLB . Each module is then broken down into three to four sections.

You can pick and choose which areas you want to learn more about. If you do complete all of the modules...

Teaching Reflections - Lesson 2

Image
TESL 0170 Practicum in Teaching ESL I taught my second lesson for my TESL practicum on Friday from 9-12. I taught the same Entry level (CEFR A1-A2) integrated skills class and continued working on the Shopping for Clothes unit. This time I was also being observed for the last hour by my Practicum Supervisor. The focus of the lesson was on navigating a mall or department store and included vocabulary and expressions to use to explain locations and directions. The lesson included reviewing the previous day's homework, teaching and practicing new vocabulary, listening comprehension, pronunciation, role-play and games. I tried to include a balance of activities and to switch between teacher-led and student-centered activities to keep the students engaged. Students had an opportunity to work independently, with a partner, with their table group and with the whole class. In addition to the text and its digital and online components, I also used the smartboard notebook, a clothing b...
