Assessing to learn and learning to assess
What should assessment look like in the languages classroom?
Rachel Hawkes
Professional Standards for teachers
CoreC12Know a range of approaches to assessment, including the importance of formative assessment.
Post-thresholdP5Have a more developed knowledge and understanding of their subjects/curriculum areas and related pedagogy including how learning progresses within them.
CoreC8Have a creative and constructively critical approach towards innovation; being prepared to adapt their practice where benefits and improvements are identified.
Rachel Hawkes
AfL is all about KNOWING…• Teachers need to know what learners need to
know and share this with them ( objectives and modelling)
• Learners need (to be able to) ‘know what they know’ ( peer and self assessment)
• Teachers need to know learners individually and let them know how to improve ( feedback)
• Learners need the time to build on what they know ( reflect, review, re-visit)
Rachel Hawkes
Co-teachersTwo rules for the classroom1) Do everything to help yourself learn as much as you can2) Do everything to help others learn
DOs• take risks• have a go• show good ‘audience’ skills• respond to others’ contributions• ask questions• make links
DONTs• think everyone else knows the answer• keep quiet when you’re not sure• get cross if you know the answer but don’t get to contribute
Setting the tone for learning
Rachel Hawkes
Learning objectives and Modelling
“Each teacher has a purpose; they have lesson plans and they have objectives that they must teach. In KS4, these objectives are given to pupils because they need to know how the course is outlined; but in KS3 it’s never really made clear when one module ends and another begins, and the pupil never knows what the next module is going to be. This means that the pupil never finds out what the purpose of learning each module is, or where each lesson fits in to the overall aim of the course. Pupils need to know the purpose the teachers have in order to share it with them.”
“The process of learning has to be in the minds of both learner and teacher.”
QCA, 10 principles of Assessment for Learning

“One of the main obstacles is that often pupils don’t recognise what a good piece of work looks like – they don’t have a sufficiently clear view of the aim to be able to steer themselves.”
Professor Paul BlackInterview with GTC, Assessment for Learning
“Students were required in one lesson to identify what would make different pieces of work better so that they could achieve better grades. “ p.22 The changing landscape of languages – Ofsted report 2004/2007

Self and Peer Assessment
“Peer assessment is uniquely valuable because pupils may accept, from one another, criticisms of their work, which they would not take seriously if made by their teacher”
Working inside the black box Dept of Education & Professional Studies, King’s College, London

How do I know what I know?
1 I can pronounce the word
2 I know what it means
3 I can spell the word
4 I can use the word in a sentenceFor example:
1 The word ‘mère’ is pronounced ‘mair’2 It means ‘mother’3 It is spelt m- è – r – e4 It can be used in this sentence:Ma mère s’appelle Jenny.
- Practise pronunciation - Learn what the word means- Practise how to spell the word- Create sentences with the word
Take your list of language and rate your knowledge of each. Then decide how you need to improve:
Make a set of online flashcards &
spend 20 mins using them to learn (50
pts)
Work with a partner to
learn the words, testing
each other (50 pts)
Use the Look,
Cover, Say/Write,
Check method(50 pts)
Use your core language sheet and
vocab book to create new
sentences with the words
(50 pts = 5 100 pts = 10)
Write each word 3 times &
translate once (50 pts)
Use WordArtand type words out in alphabetical order(50 pts)
Make own
flashcards
on card and
use them to
test
yourself
over and
over
(50 pts)
Record yourself saying the words and the English meaning – use this to test yourself(50 pts)

You are going to assess the speaking of others in your class today. You are going to assess at least 3 different students in your class in a speaking line. Ask your partner all of the 7 questions listed below and then s/he will ask you 3 questions. For each answer or question give him/her either 2,1 or 0. At least 3 students will also assess your speaking.

“Things that are not motivating is your work being discouraged, marking that just gives a target without praise, teachers shouting, lots of mention about tests, pupils or teachers laughing when you get something wrong, and teachers adding pressure to your work. These things are not motivating because they make us feel bad about ourselves and we know we won’t do as well as we want to do.”

Questions for us!• What do we want our learners to be able to do
with the language? (lesson, module, term, Key Stage)
• How do we share that so that the ‘process of learning’ is in all our minds?
• How do we find out who has ‘got there’ and who hasn’t?
• How does that change our teaching? What do we do next?
