Assessment in Project-based learning (workshop)
Project-based learning (PBL) has gained widespread use in language education; the research is clear that PBL enhances language skills, critical thinking skills, and 21st century skills. However, PBL is challenging to assess due to the wide variation of students’ final projects. In this workshop, the presenter will briefly discuss PBL and its advantages in the language classroom. Attendees will then engage in research-based strategies for formative and summative assessment, including peer assessment and rubric development. Methods for providing constructive and empowering feedback will also be included. Attendees will leave with assessment strategies they can use immediately in their own classrooms.
