Instant debates on evaluation and assessment for CLIL
At UNIR Master's Degree on Bilingual Education, we are releasing a new semester and correspondingly opening the first live session on evaluation and assessment for CLIL.
But, before actually going deep on practical challenges, one must start from the beginning, and that means learning about one's own students.
So that is what we did in our first 45-minute live session: diagnosing previous knowledge on key issues in assessment for CLIL:
We divided the live lesson in three rounds of instant debates, but all placed at the same messaging platform: Telegram.
Round 1. When assessing, what should you be asking yourself as a teacher?
Round 2. Why and what am I assessing? What method should I use for assessing? How could I assure quality in the assessment process? How could I use the information in the assessment process?
Round 3. What do we assess: content, language or both? Who assesses, when, how? What language should we use when assessing? What tools can we use for and when assessing? When assessing in English, how do we minimize the language in content assessment?
In order to undergo the live session, a group for peer to peer learning and interaction had been previously opened. The students were invited to join with an invite link, so most of them were ready to jump into the instant conversations.
The instant debates were encouraged question after question by the teacher, and so these future CLIL students could post their answers, read their peers' insights and react, too. Every mini dialogue did not take longer than 10 minutes. After each round of online dialogue race, wrap up conclusions were shared and a new round was shot.
Speed, creativity and attitude were essential in this against-the-clock learning mission! But most importantly, once the live session was over, the conversation was still going on for some time at the online group, and the teacher was not there any more, the teacher was not monitoring the debates, but it was the students themselves who kept it up with further reactions, so there went autonomous learning too! Congratulations to this bunch of future CLIL teachers, well done!
Thanks ever so much to all the #AssessCLIL_UNIR students for their enthusiasm and participation!
