September 2012 Formative vs. Summative Assessment: Does It Matter? by Deena Boraie Assessment terminology has become a minefield because it often obscures distinctions between concepts, which in turn affects classroom practice. Understanding assessment concepts is key to assessment literacy, and teachers who are assessment illiterate can have a negative effect on the quality of education and on students’ learning (Popham, 2009). Confusion in Assessment TerminologyThere are several questions that many teachers and administrators ask: What are good examples of formative assessments and summative assessment tasks? These questions reflect some educators’ confusion in assessment terminology (Ussher & Earl, 2010) such as assuming that formative and assessment tasks look and are different. Clarifying Assessment Terms Therefore, the difference between formative and summative assessment is not in the actual assessment tasks or tools but in their purpose—what we use them for in the classroom.

Five mixed messages that have severely damaged modern language education Introduction Over the decades, since the 70’s pedagogic revolution which saw the total rejection of Grammar-Translation methodology and Audiolingualism, teachers have been the recipients of scores of mixed messages about how languages are acquired and should be taught which have greatly damaged the teaching profession and Modern Language provision at large. I referred to them in the title as ‘mixed messages’ because they have often been the result of the overgeneralization , misinterpretation, vulgarization or distortion of research findings, hypotheses or even theories of some validity, which have given rise to ‘myths’ about language teaching and learning that have been haunting the teaching profession for decades and still shape in many cases the way many of us teach. 1.Languages are acquired by children subconsciously, hence no need to teach them grammar – This belief is at the root of the ban on grammar teaching that affected MFL provision in England for decades. 2.

Comment devenir traducteur/trice ~ Traduction de l'anglais au français 2 juin 2004 Par l'intermédiaire de ce site, j'ai reçu de nombreux e-mails de personnes me demandant des conseils pour se lancer dans la traduction. Il est très difficile de savoir quoi dire. En effet, au contraire de la plupart des carrières, on peut y arriver de différentes manières. La voie la plus évidente à suivre est de faire une Licence de traduction. La traduction étant si peu réglementée, on peut devenir traductrice de plusieurs manières selon l'endroit où l'on vit, et je ne connais bien que la situation au Royaume-Uni. Une fois l'examen réussi, le plus dur a commencé : trouver des clients. Que ferais-je de différent ? Alors, comment devient-on traductrice ? Merci Céline pour votre témoignage. Nora
Integrating pronunciation into classroom activities In my work as a teacher trainer I have been surprised at how often experienced teachers are reluctant to tackle pronunciation issues in class. I can think of at least two reasons why pronunciation tends to be neglected: firstly, the lack of clear guidelines and rules available in course books, and secondly the fact that isolated exercises once a month do not seem to have much of an effect. This is not surprising, however; like all other areas of language teaching, pronunciation needs constant attention for it to have a lasting effect on students, which means integrating it into daily classroom procedures. I find that addressing issues regularly during the language feedback or group correction stage of a lesson helps to focus learners' attention on its importance and leads to more positive experiences.
