Presenter: Professor Hermann Funk
Abstract:

Whereas Competence Testing is part of every Teacher Training Curriculum, all forms of Continuous assessment and evaluation are hardly ever on anyone’s agenda. In my workshop, I would concentrate on informal ways of continuous assessment in media-based, textbook-based and in-class scenarios rather than formal and standardized forms of language assessment. Targets (teachers, students, peers), methods (different degrees of formality), media use and goals of informal assessment will be discussed and practised. Adaptable examples will be primarily in English and German
