David Carless presented on learning-oriented assessment. He discussed three key components of learning-oriented assessment: productive assessment task design, student self-evaluative capacities, and student engagement with feedback. For task design, assessments should be integrated with instruction, spread student effort, mirror real-life uses of disciplines, and incorporate feedback dialogues. Developing student self-evaluation involves teaching rubrics, exemplars, and peer collaboration. Promoting feedback engagement connects feedback to student needs, ensures timeliness, and develops effective self-evaluation. The implications discussed integrating assessments, using program-based approaches, involving students in rubrics and exemplars, and encouraging various feedback dialogues.

Approaches to teaching ESP and EAP in open and distance learningPrithvi Shrestha
The field of ESP (including EAP) has grown tremendously over the last four decades. It seems to have flourished not only in English-speaking countries but also in countries where English is used as a foreign language. However, its growth in the open and distance learning sector seems to be limited and the ESP literature appears to report very little with regard to this sector. In this talk, I will be presenting the approach(es) followed by OpenELT in The Open University UK while designing two modules for open and distance learning: one ESP and another EAP. I will also share the implication of producing these two modules for other ESP/ EAP practitioners.

Having learned about theories of language acquisition and language teaching method, this presentation is about perspective in syllabus design, a typical applied linguistics activity.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. Overview
Challenges in assessment
Learning-oriented assessment
Three key components
Implications for practice
The University of Hong Kong
3. Aims of presentation
• To explore how assessment might
become more of a learning tool than a
grading tool
• Drawing on ideas in my forthcoming book
The University of Hong Kong

5. Competing priorities
Assessment needs to:
1.Judge student achievement
2.Support student learning
3.Satisfy demands of accountability
The University of Hong Kong
6. Learning-oriented assessment
A major priority in all assessment should be
to promote effective student learning
processes (Carless, 2014, 2015)
The University of Hong Kong
7. The University of Hong Kong
Productive assessment
task design
Student self-evaluative
capacities
Student engagement
with feedback
Learning-oriented assessment framework
8. Task design principles
• Integrated with instruction and ILOs
• Spreading student effort
• Mirroring real-life uses of the discipline
• Integrated and coherent
• Incorporates feedback dialogues
The University of Hong Kong
9. Self-evaluative capacities
• The most important thing a teacher can do
is to help students learn for themselves
• “the most effective teaching eventually
makes the teacher unnecessary” (Riordan
& Loacker, 2008)
• Student self-evaluation needs teaching,
modeling, nurturing
The University of Hong Kong
10. Two proverbs
• Give a man a fish you feed him for a day
• Teach a man to fish you feed him for a
lifetime
• Give a man a fish you feed him for a day
• Give him an iPhone and he won’t bother
you for weeks
The University of Hong Kong
11. Engagement with feedback
• Feedback needs to connect with students
needs and interests
• Timeliness is important
• Promoting student uptake of feedback
• To appreciate feedback, students need
effective self-evaluative capacities
The University of Hong Kong

13. But feedback challenges ..
• Emotional and social-affective issues
• Honest critical feedback
• Often comes too late
• Fails to engage students
• Limitations of teacher monologue
The University of Hong Kong
15. Task design
• Two or three smallish integrated tasks
Oral presentation 30% + Written report 70%
OR
Group project 30% + Individual work 50% +
Participation 20%
• Cumulative and integrated
• Programme-based approaches
The University of Hong Kong
16. Self-evaluation activities
• Involve students in generating, applying or
working with rubrics
• Provide exemplars/samples of student
work for analysis
• Promote different forms of peer dialogue
and collaboration
• Encourage student responsibility in self-
evaluating their own work in progress
The University of Hong Kong
17. Feedback activities
• Encouraging dialogues of different forms
- A bit more in-class guidance and feedback,
bit less at end
- Some peer feedback, peer review
- Promote online discussion
• Integrated assignments which promote
student use of feedback
