Creative Thinking and Presentation Skills

Willy Cardoso — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 13:59:24 +0000

Here are some materials of two great sessions I attended at IATEFL. The links below will take you to their dedicated page on Harrogate Online, where you can download the documents

Why only these two?

Because I’ll be able to use them with my students as soon as I get back to teaching, next week. There were many great presentations, of course, but I want to share some more practical stuff this time.

This time I’ll be speaking about, what a teacher might consider to grade students performance in a way that is principled and accountable; what makes a good test good; and also to give teachers tools to develop their own philosophy of evaluation.
