Title | Speed Dating and Self-Assessment |
Body | Stephanie Knight is the Language Technology Specialist for CASLS at the University of Oregon. This activity was developed in order to introduce teachers to LFO To Go, CASLS’ new mobile app designed to complement LinguaFolio Onlne. This activity aims to develop interpersonal speaking for classes with novice-mid and novice-high learners. In completing this activity, students will engage in short conversations in a speed dating format. The goal of using this format is that students will have multiple opportunities to prove mastery of the relevant NCSSFL-ACFTL Can-Do statements to the activity. The students will do two rounds of interviews. The second time through, they will record each interview with a mobile device. At the end of the activity, they will upload their best samples to LinguaFolio Online, CASLS’s online language learning portfolio, with our mobile app, LFO to Go. These samples will serve as evidence regarding how well students achieved the relevant Can-Do statements. Mode(s): Interpersonal Speaking, Interpretive Listening Objectives:
Resources: 2 student survey/reflection sheets, mobile devices Procedure:
It is recommended that you leave the brainstorming session on the board for students who are struggling. Clearly, the students who use the board would have to answer ‘can-do with help’ when engaging in self-evaluation, but it is an appropriate mechanism to scaffold output for these students. An additional support for struggling students is to let them use their information sheets to read from when answering questions. While needing the sheet means that their capacity for spontaneous oral output is lower than that of some of their peers, it is a worthwhile support given that students are using information that they created in order to communicate. |
