    Webinar: Doing Classroom Assessment Online. Voices from the field

    Specific topic: how have teachers been assessing their students’ language during this

    time.

    By: Frank Giraldo and special guests Juliana Giraldo, Juan Manuel Martinez, Julio
    Cesar Vanegas and Angie

    Date: May 9th,2020

    Well, due to the pandemic, which came like a rock hitting the ground and each country
    locked down their own citizens. As a result of all this we have moved lessons from
    traditional classroom to virtual spaces affecting the way methodology and assessment
    have been carry out. Despite all the dramatic changes there are many initiatives for
    teachers to improve knowledge of the language assessment, when reflecting what to do
    or what not to do regarding language teaching and assessment online, and what is a
    central question is how have teachers been assessing their students’ language during
    this time. In addition, other questions will be raised to discuss, like if they agree that
    formative and authentic assessment must be fostered than ever? When teachers should
    be more flexible and when should be more demanding? What are the perceptions about
    both, formative and summative assessment now?

    Nevertheless, due to internet connection and the tools that not everyone possess,
    teachers need to think about in their assessment practices and be more flexible. In this
    seminar have been invited four guests, which are real language teachers from different
    contexts sharing their teaching experiences. Juliana Giraldo woks at Pablo Sexto in Dos
    Quebradas, she is the first guest that shares her insights clarifying that nowadays she is
    being more flexible about grading and reducing the amount of work assigned to the
    students, in some occasions there is lack of contact with her students as result of
    working in a context without easy access to technology, still she does her best and
    create different activities not only online, but gives to her students the chance to work
    with physical items they have at home allowing them to take pictures for evidence.
    Consequently, Juan Manuel Martinez is a language teacher at Universidad tecnológica
    de Pereira experience is pretty different from Juliana’s one, he is a researcher and
    language teacher in a university, he has been teaching using multiples platforms, trying
    to develop his lessons in a synchronized and unsynchronized sessions transposing
    from physical to virtual, finding different tools that help to keep things really organized.
    Also he considers that being more flexible doesn’t mean to extent the deadlines for a
    work, instead he proposes to be aware about the student’s situation and if there are
    particular cases then yes to be flexible for those ones. He offers us some tips in order to
    optimize teachers’ work and student’s performance like: minimize the amount of work,
    be precise about instruction, during synchronization provide feedback and for those
    ones who can´t not synchronize provide extra time for them to give feedback.

    Next presents Julio Cesar Vanegas at escuela Normal Superior de Manizales, he


    is a language teacher at a university and shows that he is really getting the most from
    the technology and that he is a really good fan of the google classroom and Edmodo.
    According to Julio he believes that being demanding it is not about sending a lot of work
    to the students, but instead is about quality. He says very important facts to keep in
    mind before teaching online, teachers must know the student’s conditions like if they
    have or not internet connection, what are their wants, needs and attitudes. Finally
    intervenes Angie Which works at Centro Colombo Americano in Manizales. She makes
    emphasis about the online lessons as a big chance for students to demonstrate their
    autonomy and how capable they are in being responsible not only in terms of language
    but as people. Also she is trying to be supportive and sympathetic, creating different
    entertaining activities like the Netflix Corner, the reading corner for later on create
    discussions. Angie also emphasizes that through online lessons, students manages in
    their own space. She likes to provide instruction before the class in order that when they
    are during the online session students practice and bring questions.

    In mi opinion I believe that as teachers we are going through all those


    unexpected changes. Definitely we need to integrate knowledge, methodology,
    technology but always considering the assessment as a fundamental part of teaching
    and learning process. We need to consider both formative and summative assessment
    and how and how often students will be assessed. Before assessing students, we need
    to make sure they have been provided with clear instruction about the item or task to be
    developed, but also being clear about which particular software, device, platform they
    will be using. Besides being clear about stablished goals, offering opportunities to
    interact, collaborate and feedback. And finally giving to students the chance for self-
    assessment to see how are they feeling and coping with the activities. Nonetheless
    there is a big challenge for all of us, not only for students but for teachers too, we have
    to level up, and we need to adjust and improve ourselves to overcoming challenges.
