Integrating self- and peer-assessment into the language classroom
Ute Knoch, University of Melbourne

Traditionally, teacher assessment has been the most common form of assessment in language classrooms. Due to an increase in formative assessment and cooperative and self-directed learning, the use of alternative methods such as self- and peer-assessment have become more widespread. This workshop will start by outlining some principles of both self- and peer-assessment and will provide participants with practical examples and the opportunity to develop materials relevant to their contexts.  The workshop is intended to be interactive, with a mix of presentations, group discussions, and practical activities.
