Week 5


Interesting and Amazing …..

       I startes this week by creating a rubric " Diplomacy Debate for intermediate levels " .Rubric is a magic tool in assessment that helps learners to be motivated and independent in learning. It is the way to evaluate progress , efforts and the level of the language learners are used. For the information of alternative assessment, project based-learning, and other tools all are concentrating on learning by doing how to encourage learners to work alone and in groups just to use a real language and being able to communicate well using a correct language what is clear and understood. The teacher's role here is motivating and giving the guidance to the correct line in learning the language. Learners should be aware of doing mistakes that is good as well as correcting those mistakes is also important.
      What also worth mentioned, in week four we have discussed one of the problem and I mentioned " shyness and lack of confident for learners " and in this week we are asked to give a solution to that problem using a tool of technology that will help in solving such problem. I like this way , it leads me to think deeply and to be more creative. Really , I become more aware of technology and its importance  in  modern education. I have to speak the time language " TECHNOLOGY " .
      For the group I will teach , they are not interested in technology because they are old and have no time to search but I will try my best to let technology becomes their close friend in learning the language .

  1. Hi Eman,
    It seems that your teaching environment is a real challenge for implementing web tools, and I think because of this very same reason your efforts will be more meaningful and valuable.Can't wait to hear about the result.Hope it will be fruitful.

  2. Hello Eman,

    I agree with you in your message that says mistakes being positive experience in the classroom because they can be used as an opportunity to learn or reinforce what learners already know.

    It must be a real challenge to implement technology if you say your learners are not interested in engaging in these kinds of tasks.

    I am sure you will find a way. Good luck next week.

    Regards,

  4. Hello Eman,

    Like Letty, I agree with you that mistakes bring forth important lessons. Likewise, I like to quote Muhammad Rashid's shared idea at Nicenet when he said, when students commit error, they are actually taking some "learning steps".

    I am impressed too, of your optimism to make a difference to the class under your care now. I firmly believe, you can do the change you like to see in them.

    Good luck and wish you all the best.

  6. Hello Eman,

    I agree with you that Rubric is a magical tool. Indeed it makes our students more autonomous and we as teachers we are able to let them know that we are not biased when we are giving marks. By following the rubric, students' performances will be enhanced.

    We are having almost the same problem with our class problem. My students really lack self-confidence and are not able to speak in front of the class.

    Hope we are able to bring the good aspect of change!
