The course concludes the sequence of methodology seminars by taking a closer look at the themes of assessing young language learners and providing them with useful feedback. The participants will gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in selected aspects of the assessment process, such as setting useful aims and selecting appropriate means of assessment with regards to context and purpose, or designing and administering classroom tests. The second part of the course will be devoted to feedback, mistakes and correction, and working with mistakes. A special emphasis is placed on effective use of classroom English.
