The test specifications provide information on test purpose, examinees, construct, skills tested, tasks, rubrics and samples. Criteria include organization, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and collaboration. Students are assessed individually on a 28 point scale across these areas as they complete the speaking task.
The technology assessment service
This document discusses and evaluates two online English language assessment instruments - one for vocabulary and one for grammar. For vocabulary, a multiple choice paraphrase test is described that can measure vocabulary size as either a proficiency or diagnostic test at B2-C1 levels. While it reliably measures vocabulary, it lacks authenticity. For grammar, a blog with movie clip grammar activities is presented that can assess grammar knowledge from A1-B1 as a proficiency or diagnostic test. It integrates authentic real-world examples and provides clear instructions. Both tools allow quick collection of student data but come with limitations like potential cheating on online tests. Overall, the instruments are deemed useful assessment options.

Reflections for observations
After observing 15 hours in kindergarten, second, and third grade classrooms at Pinecrest Charter School, Kim Richards summarizes the following key points:
1) The classrooms were diverse but predominantly Spanish-speaking, with students from various Spanish-speaking countries as well as Portugal, Haiti, Africa, and the United States.
2) All classrooms had ESOL students and certified ESOL teachers to help students with grammar, pronunciation, and language barriers despite coming from homes where English was not the primary language.
3) The teachers made efforts to be sensitive to the various religious beliefs represented and not incorporate religious artifacts or issues into the classroom.

CHECK LIST
The document is a listening skills checklist for a lesson on jobs. In the lesson, students will listen to an interview with 5 young professionals applying for a job. They must match each speaker to what they said and identify which speaker is most suitable for the job. The checklist will then assess if students followed instructions, identified the characteristics of each speaker, distinguished between speakers, used vocabulary from class, and identified words based on their sounds.
theoretical framework
This document discusses principles of language assessment according to several authors. It summarizes the key principles that Bachman and Palmer (1997), Brown (2004), and Coombe (2007) agree on, which are practicality, reliability, validity, authenticity, and washback. It also notes additional principles put forward by each author. Practicality refers to the relationship between required and available resources. Reliability concerns consistency of test scores. Validity means a test measures what it aims to measure. Authenticity involves using real-world language in test tasks. Washback refers to how testing impacts teaching and learning. The document concludes these principles are important for both experienced and new teachers to consider when designing effective assessment tools.
PRACTICA Vl
Este documento contiene la autoevaluación de un estudiante de pedagogía en inglés sobre su desempeño en la práctica pedagógica VI. El estudiante asigna puntajes a diferentes aspectos como asistencia, cumplimiento de tareas, responsabilidades en la institución educativa, diseño de clases y reflexión grupal. También incluye una reflexión sobre su aprendizaje, fortalezas como la cercanía con los estudiantes, y debilidades como la proyección de la voz.
NLP AND LEARNING
NLP is an effective approach for teaching and learning because it promotes student motivation and engagement. NLP involves neurological processes, language patterns, and behaviors. It improves the four communication skills and increases self-motivation. Specifically, establishing rapport between students and teachers makes students feel secure and helps them achieve goals. Additionally, personalizing learning through components like achievement and aspiration allows all students to progress. Finally, NLP can help address student issues like phobias, depression, or habits, while also supporting personal development and self-esteem. Using NLP in the classroom can improve education and learning outcomes.
Suggestopedia
The document discusses the Suggestopedia method for teaching second language acquisition. Suggestopedia uses techniques like rhythmic breathing, music, and arranging chairs in a semicircle to help students relax and pay attention. The goal is for students to understand concepts rather than just memorize them. Studies show students learn English 3-5 times faster using Suggestopedia compared to conventional methods. The author recommends using Suggestopedia once they become a teacher, and believes teachers should find effective teaching methods and show enthusiasm to help students learn English as a second language.
Vocabulary
Teaching vocabulary is important for students learning English as a foreign language. While teachers may know vocabulary, they do not always know how to effectively teach it to students. One leading researcher identified 10 best practices for teaching vocabulary, including having students work in groups and read meaningful texts, as these activities help students understand word meanings and use the language in context. As both students and future teachers, it is important to select tasks that allow for applying vocabulary in realistic settings in order to develop language skills.
Language acquisition.
By writing a reaction paper on the views of three researchers on language acquisition, the author realized students must understand the processes that affect it. The author agrees with Larsen-Freeman that language is learned faster than any other subject, especially for children who absorb language like sponges. Additionally, future teachers must consider students' needs, abilities, and environments to help them communicate inside and outside the classroom. The information emphasizes that language acquisition requires a solid foundation, so teachers have a responsibility to provide the best instruction possible while addressing students' doubts and circumstances.
Language acquisition
By writing a reaction paper on the views of three researchers on language acquisition, the author realized students must be aware of the processes affecting it. The author agrees with Larsen-Freeman that children learn language faster than any other subject, as children are like sponges that absorb everything they hear and see. An important lesson was that future teachers must consider students' needs, paying attention to their abilities and environments. As teachers, the author wants to address students' doubts and questions, and understand their experiences, in order to best support their language acquisition.
Teaching vocabulary
Teaching vocabulary is important for students learning English as a foreign language, as vocabulary knowledge impacts speaking, writing, reading and listening skills. While teachers may know vocabulary, they do not always know how to effectively teach meanings to students. Paul Nation identifies that students learn vocabulary best through group work, reading meaningful texts, and repeating previously learned words, as this allows them to understand real meanings and use language in context. As a future teacher, selecting tasks like group work that encourage using language in realistic settings will help students learn vocabulary.
Writing skill
Vivian Cook and H. Douglas Brown have differing views on second language writing skills, but agree that written language represents spoken language. The essay argues that writing relies on speech, and learning to write helps develop reading skills. It also stresses the importance of teacher feedback and assistance in helping students understand the writing process to improve their skills.
Suggestopedia
The document describes the principles and process of Suggestopedia, a language teaching method developed in the 1970s. It involves creating a relaxed environment through music, comfortable seating, tolerance of mistakes, and engaging students through stories and games. The goal is to use relaxation and emotion to facilitate assimilation of content before analysis. The method follows a cycle including introduction, reading, decoding, activation, and relaxation sessions.
Teaching vocabulary
The document discusses effective strategies for teaching English vocabulary. It outlines ideas from three researchers - Michael Lewis, Solange Moras, and Paul Nation. Lewis' Lexical Approach emphasizes teaching vocabulary through meaningful phrases and chunks rather than individual words. Moras discusses using mental linkages and review to transfer words from short-term to long-term memory. Nation proposes 10 best ideas for teaching vocabulary, including using the four strands of meaning-focused input/output and language-focused learning, extensive reading, guessing from context, and encouraging learner autonomy. The document emphasizes that vocabulary learning is fundamental for students and teachers should use a variety of strategies, authentic materials, and encourage practice and repetition to help students acquire new words effectively.
Comparative esssay
1) Vivian Cook and H. Douglas Brown agree that writing skills should be taught together with other language skills like reading, speaking, and listening, rather than in isolation, as they are interdependent.
2) They differ in their perspectives on what students need to learn about second language writing. Brown emphasizes strategies for prewriting, drafting, and rewriting, while Cook provides a more organized list of linguistic elements.
3) Both see the teacher's role as a facilitator who guides students and provides feedback to help them improve, though Cook views the teacher more as an instructor who assesses skills like spelling.
Reality TV shows are a bad influence on people
Reality TV shows have a negative influence on viewers according to this article. While reality TV was intended to show real people in real situations, most shows follow scripts and choose attention-grabbing characters. Studies have shown that heavy TV viewers, especially teenagers, see the behaviors on these shows as normal even when they depict alcohol abuse, casual sex, and bad language. Additionally, families now spend more time watching and discussing reality TV than interacting with each other. As a result, important family values and traditions are being replaced. The article concludes that reality TV depicts shallow behaviors and sends the wrong message about life, so parents must control what their children watch and maintain open communication to prevent them from absorbing unrealistic values.
Draft 1
Reality TV shows negatively influence viewers, especially children and teenagers. They depict shallow, selfish behaviors that some viewers then emulate, focusing on materialism and casual sex. As viewers spend more time watching reality shows, family values are replaced with discussions only about the shows. Young viewers see the characters as role models and try to imitate their behaviors, even bad ones. Consequently, problematic behaviors like underage drinking, casual sex, and violence have increased. Reality shows present a false portrayal of reality and are not good for society. Parents must be aware of these effects and control what their children watch on TV.
Reaction Paper
The document discusses several perspectives on language acquisition from different authors. Freeman's perspective covers the steps children go through to acquire language, including imitation and the importance of attention. Chapter 2 discusses the same stages as Chapter 1 as well as innate linguistic properties and social interaction. Cook's perspective relates second language learning to first language learning, noting different levels of exposure. Finally, Krashen's perspective focuses on how a first language influences errors in second language acquisition for ESL students.

What makes education in finland that good
The document discusses why education in Finland shows excellent results compared to other countries. It explains that Finland's education policies set in motion forty years ago directly contribute to their success. The text also highlights ten important characteristics of Finland's alternative pedagogical approach, including giving teachers considerable independence in the classroom to choose appropriate teaching methods. It concludes by arguing Chile needs to implement similar policies and priorities, such as viewing education as a right rather than business, in order to achieve high-quality education like Finland.
Words : Native and Borrowed
The document discusses the origins and development of the English language over time. It describes how the Indo-European language family split into eastern and western branches, and the western branch further divided into groups like Celtic, Germanic, Italic, and Hellenic. As English developed, it was influenced by languages like Old English dialects, Latin from Christian conversion, and Danish invasions. The standardization of English was influenced by translations in monasteries and works like the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. London also played a role in the development of standard English.
Words : Native and Borrowed
This document summarizes the key points of the text "Words: Native and Borrowed". It discusses how English has evolved over time, borrowing words from other languages like Latin and French. All languages contain both native and borrowed words. Borrowing words has been the most important contribution to the growth of the English language. The text also explains how the development of cities and dialects, such as in London, helped shape modern English. It provides useful information for students of English and future English teachers to understand the origins and evolution of the English language.
