New event in September! We're very pleased to announce this fantastic webinar organised by @IATEFL Testing, Evaluation and Assessment SIG with collaboration from ourselves. Assessment is such an important topic and we're very excited to see this session, which will share valuable insight into the students' experience of receiving feedback as part of their formative assessment. IATEFL TEASIG webinar Date: Tuesday September 17, 2024 5:00-6:00pm UK Local time. Title: Student Feedback Assessment Speaker: Isabel Piñeiro Sorondo The presentation: Much thought has been dedicated to the role of feedback in the English language teaching classroom as well as in general education. My aim is to present an Action Research study carried out at lower secondary level that sought to identify the perception of students regarding the type of formative feedback they were regularly provided with by their teachers, access grounded information on their learning and aid the curriculum development in English Language and Literature. To scaffold the students’ learning, the project-based intervention consisted of the planning, implementation and assessment of a collaborative inquiry inspired by deep learning, and integrated various forms of feedback, online and face-to-face. Students’ perception and demand of feedback were determined by the different forms of feedback and how reliable and meaningful they found the source of feedback. The speaker: Isabel Piñeiro Sorondo holds MA in Education and studied Literature and Translation. She is a Secondary School Teacher and currently based and working in Madrid. Previously she worked in Buenos Aires and Montevideo. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/dK3_EEM7 Certificates will be issued only to IATEFL members who attended the live webinar. They will receive details directly from IATEFL shortly after the event. Recording: The recording of the webinar will be available only to TEASIG & YL&TSIG members in the members’ area (“My resources”) of the IATEFL website. We look forward to seeing you there! #YoungLearners #FormativeAssessment #ELT
