In this episode of Growing With Proficiency: The Podcast, I sit down with the amazing AnneMarie Chase to talk about a topic that we can't avoid as educators—assessments! Together, we dive deep into the concept of low-stress assessments and how to shift the focus away from simply measuring language accuracy to building language proficiency in meaningful, stress-free ways.
We discuss:
- Four key elements of a good assessment: ease for the teacher, sneaky ways to provide more input, low stress for students, and allowing every student to succeed in some way.
- The importance of mindset shifts when it comes to assessments, including using them as learning opportunities for students, rather than "gotcha" moments.
- Anmar’s brilliant “magic cards” method for assessing speaking and other skills throughout the school day without the traditional pressure of formal tests.
- How assessments can serve as a great class practice activity where students engage with listening and reading tasks in a highly focused way, allowing us to truly see what they can do.
- How we can assess speaking in a way that is fun for students and teachers.
Plus, we talk about making the assessment process manageable for teachers, sharing tips for getting grading done in class so you're not drowning in paperwork after hours.
Tune in and get ready to make assessing your students a more productive, low-stress, and even enjoyable part of your teaching practice. Nos vemos pronto, chao!
