@SueAnnan Totally agree - assessment can be so tricky and assessing prod skills even trickier #ELTchat |

Thinking specifically about exams, not in day-to-day lessons #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:09:51 |
@TeresaBestwick This by way of formal/official assessment? #eltchat or day-to-day |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-05-25T18:10:09 |
Oooh, hang on - "lower level" are we thinking age or ability? #ELTchat |

2016-05-25T18:10:16 |
@Sarah_TTrainer @Ashowski @juliacphang Aww..joys of mamahood. Have a good evening and chat next week hopefully #ELTchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-05-25T18:10:33 |
@Marisa_C Yep, formal assessment, twice a year #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:10:42 |
So we are talking abt a T's DAily assessment - informal as in monitoring a roleplay as @Hada_ELT says #eltchat or in some other way |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:10:53 |
@naomishema @sandymillin @LizziePinard @muranava Pity :( Catch you soon ##eltchat |

I think formal is formal is formal - can we explore some other ways? #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:11:51 |
@TeresaBestwick @Marisa_C Do you use any other form of assessment throughout the term? #ELTchat |

For exams, I usually interview the students individually or put them in pairs and have them interview each other with prompts. #eltchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:13:28 |
Getting Students to speak into a Voki (e.g. tell a story or say who they are and what they do) is one way #eltchat more voice tools next |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:13:37 |
I like stories they prepare at home & present to the class - someone showed me an app but can't remember the name. I do it wth pics #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:13:41 |
I like speed dating when they are new or new ish #ELTchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-05-25T18:13:49 |
@Hada_ELT @Marisa_C I think I assess learners when I hear them speak during class activities, there are less "formal" moments #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:13:59 |
@DavinnaArtibey sure - we are thinking like let's be more daring and creative! :-D #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:14:25 |
@SueAnnan How do you assess their proficiency? Against a rubric? #ELTchat |
| TeresaBestwick |
2016-05-25T18:14:56 |
I have lots of questions on lollipop sticks - great for fast finishers too. Good for practising personal info questions #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |

@Hada_ELT not if they aren't doing exams #ELTchat |

They promote automaticity but it depends on the level #eltchat |

@TeresaBestwick What's that? #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:17:51 |
@durnazzz uses an app where they create a story and record themselves. What's the name again? #ELTchat https://t.co/3SrquutJsb |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:18:17 |
@genevieve_EFL sure but with YL's it may be just do sth that's fun to do and motivating or easy enough #ELTchat |

| TeresaBestwick |
2016-05-25T18:22:35 |
@Hada_ELT It's a way to check understanding of Q, fluency and accuracy of response. Covers topics they've done in class #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:22:35 |
what about low level adults? #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:24:33 |
Good question - I think early on I would start with playacting before moving to roleplay & improvisation #ELTchat https://t.co/hThZEHi0X7 |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:25:28 |
If they are genuine beginners, there's little to start with :-) #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:25:45 |
Also simple mingling activities are a good point to start from - the classic 'find someone who' sooo versatile!!!! #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:27:39 |
Story creator is the app I mentioned earlier. Ss prepare a story and record over pics, send it to you and you can feedback #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:28:13 |
There are two more online tools which I think get Ss to be very creative Voicethread and Voxopop - anyone familiar with them? #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:28:34 |
The feedback can be recorded and sent back to the ss. #ELTchat https://t.co/iCSn14ccKU |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:28:36 |
@Marisa_C Yes. I like both of them #ELTchat |

"Find someone who" can be challenging for lower levels - question formation (argh!). I tweaked it slightly https://t.co/hz1utsNwEw #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:30:33 |
Getting them to share photos on their phones is a natural way to hear them speaking too #ELTchat |

@Hada_ELT in class i use 20 pics on a ppt - timed and play picture karaoke - they say anything they like maybe make a story #eltchat |

| DavinnaArtibey |
2016-05-25T18:33:30 |
I've had Ss read a paragraph on What's App or Vocaroo and send the recording to me. Both are user-friendly. #eltchat |

#ELTchat I struggle with some ss as they fear making mistakes... |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:38:29 |
This fear of errors and ridicule is a highly negative factor in improving oral skills #eltchat https://t.co/TWIl6pafDC |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:38:34 |
@azoz2268351 This is definitely a problem but encouraging them and reminding them they're not mistakes but 'learning steps' helps #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:39:05 |
@azoz2268351 It is important that the students dont feel judged #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:40:04 |
@azoz2268351 Definitely and takes a lot of reassurance and confidence building form the T. Needs to be worked on from the word go #ELTchat |

@Marisa_C @MarkWordSmith @SueAnnan Yeah I get that, but speed flatmates?! I personally love the onion, all time winning activity #ELTchat |
| SueAnnan |
2016-05-25T18:43:49 |
So the first factor to get over is fear. Then lack of language... #ELTchat |

to eliminate fear - start with good class dynamics activs early on; then talk about activity objectives #eltchat https://t.co/nFMib9lOS5 |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:45:17 |
@SueAnnan The old affective filter is definitely at play here - in some contexts more than others. #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |
2016-05-25T18:45:54 |
To feed in language: very careful scaffolding and priming work - #eltchat boost confidence |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:46:06 |
@SueAnnan Group cohesion and learner skills also go a long way #ELTchat |
| Marisa_C |

My Low-level st at the moment is a young adult from Qatar. He needs vocab and confidence to talk about anything other than camels #ELTchat |
| Hada_ELT |
2016-05-25T18:53:29 |
@Marisa_C @SueAnnan Yes mostly prepared - generally basic personal info and likes and dislikes, the clothes they're wearing etc. #ELTchat |
