Session Title: 

CEFR Vs. Assessment: How can new revisions help?


Logo: If you already have a logo for your session, upload the image file to the wiki. If you don‘t have a logo yet, you can add one later, during the moderator training session. (We will help you find/create an appropriate logo if you don't already have one.)


Abstract:  

CEFR has settled rules for determining students' language levels. Yet what is the relation between it and assessment? What are the newclarifications/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 

 

Syllabus: The session syllabus. Include the major focus for each week and at least one activity or task. You will fill in the details during the training session.


Week 1: Jan, 11-18 2020

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?

 


Week 2:  Jan. 19-25 2020

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 

 

 


Week 3: Jan. 26- Feb. 1 2020

Week 4: Feb. 2-8 2020

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.
