TitlePeer Review of a Presentational Text
SourceCASLS Activity of the Week
Body

This activity is designed to allow learners to engage in self-reflection of a presentational text that they created.

Learning objectives: Learners will be able to:

  • Demonstrate understanding of strengths and weaknesses in presentational communication.
  • Set goals for future language production.

Modes: Presentational Speaking or Presentational Writing

Materials: Self-reflection handout, rubric

Procedure:

  1. Learners will produce a presentational text (spoken or written) that will be peer-reviewed or reviewed by the teacher prior to engaging in self-reflection.
  2. Learners will assess their work after receiving peer or teacher feedback using the self-reflection handout. During this step, learners must decide if they agree with the feedback received from the peer or the teacher and justify their responses. On this handout, this reflection requires consideration of the rubric used to evaluate the text.
  3. Finally, learners will set SMART goals for their continued language learning in the presentational mode on the self-reflection handout.

Notes:

  • Learners should be trained in peer-evaluation before engaging in self-evaluation. With qualitative assessment, this training requires the use of exemplars.
  • Learners may certainly reflect in written form as part of a larger journal or the like, but it is also fine to let learners create audio self-reflections.
  • The example rubric included with this activity is only appropriate for advanced learners.
