Yesterday at a Learner Development SIG Get-together in Tokyo, we talked about different ideas for Nakasendo and other LD events in 2010. For Nakasendo, we would like to have some kind of multi-session (different presentations, posters and discussions happening at the same time in one room).
Two areas of focus seemed to offer some really interesting possibilities – (i) teachers bringing along examples of their learners' self-assessment in action (eg short video clips of students doing self-assessment, written examples of students’ self-assessment/reflection about learning) and using these as a springboard for discussion;
(ii) teachers looking at the story/stories of how the /their learners have tried to develop self-assessment – the time perspective could be in the last while, over the last year, over the last few years; again the idea would be for those interested to bring along some kind of object to discuss - a poster, a flipchart, a video clip or a written reflection/story about developing self-assessment.
Please contact Andy Barfield if you are interested in doing something like this for the LD multisession at Nakasendo 2010. Thanks.
You can find the Call for Papers for the LD SIG and FLP SIG here Learner Development aims to focus on self-assessment issues in the classroom (and/or in self-access, virtual learning and other types of extra-mural learning), while Framework and Language Portfolio intends to look at learner training for self-assessment. Teacher Ed will be soon adding its own Call for Papers to its new website, including self-assessment of one's teaching, and the role of reflection in developing as a teacher-learners.
