Hi classmates! this web page I found it when I started to teaching in my free-time. I think that it is a good page because if you aren't creative you can use pictures and tools for this web page.

I would like to finish that summary with the last sentence of the presentation: "Don't be afraid to have an open-minded look to so many unknown and unfamiliar things around us… we have just to try to discover them unconditionally!Success!"

Hi Classmates :) I want to share with you this page because I find it very interesting and I really like because Emil Gen explains very well the importance of the lesson planning. Like she said If the trademark of a doctor is the sthethoscope, the engineer is the calculator, the teacher cannot be able to teach without his or her lesson plan. Our lesson plan is one of the most important parts of our work and we should be familiar with it. I hope you like it!

Here I have been reading and listening very interesting videos which talk about some topics of our subjects. Terms as: assessment strategies, feedback, for example, are analyzed by Dylam William, he is director of the Learning and Teaching Research Center at the Educational Testing Service (ETS) and if you pay attention to the explanations you will check that their words have not waste... I have attached also an image done by me, where you can check all the possibilites that offers this page. This is the link: http://subefotos.com/ver/?b929a103e34cef5fc75b7c71df2cd12eo.png

This page explains what is assessment for learning, what is the difference between formative and summative assessment and some learning strategies.

This is a research project which are analyzed the assessment instruments that the foreign language teachers usually use in their classrooms. The aim of this project is very clear: the teachers who participate in this project must identify their own mistakes (in the assessment field) and finally correct them. As the majority of foreign language teachers, specifically, of our country, these teachers don't plead for an assessment which exist a feedback between the teachers and the pupils. We know that this feedback is the better way for get a fair assessment, but perhaps by the lack of time... They use these instruments. I recommend take a look to the annexes.

This article presents the roles of assessment in curriculum practice and enhancement of learning. It also consists of three sections, namely, Assessment as component of the curriculum, continuous assessment for learning, and the importance of feedback and comments in assessed work and analyze each one. Furthermore, we find a discussion in this Article of the current state of assessment, particularly formative/continuous assessment.

Article about the problems with classroom management and the importance of good classroom management in EFL classes. The article shows us that classroom management is an important part of the curriculum.

Lia Plakans (Assisstant professor of Foreign Language), explain us and give examples and key ideas in assessment. In this web you can find videos, information and resources about AFL

This article answers to frecuently asked questions about classroom assessment and also explains different techniques that can be used.

Here you have a small article of 5 pages which I found very interesting to share with you. In this article we can find interesting issues about assessment for learning. The article says that: "Classroom assessment that involves students in the process and focuses on increasing learning can motivate rather than merely measure students." When students are active characters of their own education the outcomes are better. Also gives interesting clues about how to involve students in their own teaching-learning process and have a section about effective teacher feedback. Contains reviews of many important authors. I advise my classmates that take a look at this article because it's really interesting.

This article talks about summative assessment and summative assessment. Discuss the pros and cons of both and provides testimonials and suggestions from teachers. I think it's very interesting and it can be handy to know these two assessment models.
