BACKWARD DESIGN!!!

◄◄◄◄◄◄◄◄

1. IDENTIFY DESIRED GOALS• Address the Standard

• State the Essential question • Uncover the Enduring Understanding,

(Of the language , content)• Identify communication standards

And 4Cs• Develop the Performance

2. DETERMINE ACCEPTABLE EVIDENCE

Design Activities that support the desired goal.• Formative: serve as check points and to

inform and modify instructions…. & • Summative : Performance tasks aligned with

the desired results

3. LEARNING ACTIVITIES

• Plan learning activities in sequence of instructions linked to assessment.(Plan with the end in mind)

• Activities should engage students in meaningful communication that prepares them for the formative and summative performance assessment tasks.

Remember :Instructional focus changed from ‘What” was taught to “What Outcomes” we need.

DESIGN ASSESSMENT

Explore the three modes of communication for a Motivational type of Assessment

• Interpersonal• Interpretive

• Presentational

INTERPERSONAL ASSESSMENT (STUDENTS)

1. Observe and monitor one another to see how intentions and meanings are being communicated.2. Initiate, maintain and at some levels sustain the

conversation.3. Students get engaged in Interpersonal Oral

Communication about a particular topic which relates to the Interpretive text. (this phase should be audio or videotaped).

INTERPERSONAL TASKS ARE TWO WAYS

• Interactive activities such as face to face conversations. Speakers communicate in a spontaneous manner and don’t use a written script. (ask questions-rephrase)• Written correspondences where a back and forth

exchange is expected.

INTERPRETIVEPrepare students to learn by understanding:• Key words• Main ideas • Supporting details • Guessing meaning from content and identifying

author and cultural perspectives. • Using strategies ( roots, prefixes, suffixes…etc.)

INTERPRETIVE COMPREHENSION TASKSEngage students to gain experience by helping them to:• Use organizational features of the text as clues to meaning .• Explore with classmates inferences and cultural insights.• Activate the background knowledge • Engage in anticipating the main idea of what they will hear/read or

listen to. • Skim the main idea and scan for more details.• Try new strategies for comprehending a text.(use flash cards, play

Teacher and Assistant..etc)• Answer information (interpretive questions) to assess comprehension.Result: Students often gain new insights about a text as a result of text based discussions that they have with their peers.

PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON PERFORMANCE

Brain based research shows that in learning second language the brain stores information based on functionality, meaningfulness and that rehearsal is necessary for retention. However, practice alone “doesn’t make perfect” unless the learner has received a feedback indicating what needs to be done to improve!

PURPOSE OF INTERPRETIVE TASK

1. Assess learner’s ability to deal with language that may be new for them in an authentic text.2. Know how to choose an authentic text : Context - Age - Linguistic Level- Importance of taskNote: Translation should be avoided as it might cause boredom and frustration…and edit the task not the text.

PRESENTATIONAL TASK

The creation of Oral and Written messages in a manner that facilitates interpretation by an

audience of listeners, readers or viewers where no direct interpretation of meaning exists.

PRESENTATIONAL TASKS

Are generally formal speaking or writing activities that involve one way communication to an audience of listeners or readers such as:• Giving a speech or report• Telling a story,• Presenting a Power Point, a Project or

Producing a Video.

REMINDERS TO TEACHERS

Ask yourself:1. Am I assessing performance using world tasks that are

meaningful to students?2. Am I effectively assessing the abilities of my students in the

3 modes of communication?3. Are my students making a progress towards a higher level?4. Is my feedback improving my students performance?5. Are my students becoming independent life long learners?

OUR TASK…

……..is to move students from understanding an authentic text to applying their newly acquired knowledge in an oral interpersonal task to creating a presentation for audience of readers and listeners.

THANK YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY
