MODULE 5 REFLECTION

The topic we have been discussing today is quite interesting. At first, we have discussed how to make a rubric for assessment. Mai Anh has shared what she usually does for her little students. She has used Rubistar to create a specific rubric for a specific lesson. I think it's amazing. Then, she has shared some other alternative assessment forms such as peer feedback, porfolios, project-based learning. She also talked about advantages and disadvantages of each kind. I also find rubric is an effective tool for assessing students. It helps both teachers and students know what should be achieved in each individual classes and how much progress they should make. Rubrics also orient students' learning and enhance their autonomy in learning. I have shared some alternative assessment tools such as formative tests, giving feedback, teaching report, learning diary, project work, ... One of the great things I have learned from the breakout room discussion that we should use different kinds of assessment to utilize their advantages and discourage their drawbacks.

FINAL REFLECTION

Participating in group work for the final assignment has been a highly enriching experience, providing numerous insights and valuable lessons. Here are the key benefits that I have gained from working for the final project: 1. Enhanced Communication Skills Working in a group necessitated clear and effective communication.

Diverse Perspectives Group work brought together diverse perspectives, enriching the quality of our final product. Each member contributed...

MODULE 3 REFLECTION

The topic of Module 3 is skills-building websites for oral/aural skills and saving bookmarks. Through the discussion in our breakout room, I have learned that we can use different sites available online to teach students. For example, esl-lab.com is a good website for teaching listening and speaking. It includes pre-, while- and post-activities covering a wide range of different levels and age groups. It's so helpful and saves a lot of time for us, as teachers, in lesson preparations. In addition, I found https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/pron/ a great site for learning English, especially pronununciation and other skills. We also talked about bookmarking pages (diigo.com as an example). It functions as a saver of URLs and files. However, the thing which distinguishes the site with other bookmarkers is that it's shareable. Personally, I think bookmarkers available on our frequently-used browers are still helpful.
