    Thank you . Hope it goes smoothly on next steps.

  • Interesting , hope the next week will be a piece of cake too.

  • My immediate reaction was the way the codes are written are different ( input) and the output of all these different languages are the same. I know a bit about HTML, but nothing about others, they were so complicated by the way .

  • I think as we turn our head and watch around there are lots of footsteps of algorithms, codes and digitalization , as long as they work properly and safely it is fantastic.

  • fair enough. I think knowing the codes and the way to put those codes together will be really important to succeed.

  • We all will have kind of tea but the planing and the output will be completely different somehow.

  • What we need is a kettle, superfine tea, pot, herbs, tap water.
    First fill the kettle and at the same time pour tea in to the pot and add some cold water to it after that put it on the oven, wait till the water in the kettle boils the. Add hot water to the pot and wait for 15 minutes to become ready. Pour it in a nice glass or cup put some date or raisin...

  • Internet : first dial ups and then modems .desktop computers and laptops , after that access to internet everywhere & and using smartphones. There are a lot need to be mentioned.

  • I remember the floppy discs and commodore games that we have played with my brother , also the first cellphones that I had and it was like a brick.
    All about 80s

  • This is nazi from Iran , I’ve participated in another online course elsewhere , Cause my husband Is a geek of computer and he is software developer and programmer , so I need to know more about his job because when we start to talk about what he does, I need to know some knowledge of that and of course knowing a bit of coding and programming is a must these...

  • Great

  • Interesting idea

  • Love this idea! I should try that thanks

  • Done

  • I am an English teacher in (EFL) for almost 20 years and my students always struggle for learning vocabulary and synonyms and remembering them , so I need to update my knowledge about teaching vocabulary

  • I am really enthusiastic to know the ways for teaching vocabularies because it’s always a problem for learners in my country(EFL)
    Thanks for educators

  • Thanks a milion

  • Really appreciate .
    Love
    Nazi

  • Thanks a million for these amazing website it opened a new horizon for me

  • @BarbaraG. Thanks Barbara

  • Thanks luck for reminding us @LukeReeves

  • These are interesting sites I have never used , thanks for sharing great idea

  • It will be productive skills and assessment I think

  • Agree

  • Agree luz marina ,selecting will be another issue

  • Thanks a lot @ChristinaPhelps

  • Wow it’s fantastic idea, real life experience @BarryDunne

  • Awesome thank you

  • Totally agree @RosyDao

  • Building a good relationship during online teaching is a vital aspect. Chatting before and after the class , smiling , asking for suggestion about online teaching, having movements during the class like dancing , stretching or meditation before the lesson starts , would be a great rapport .

  • Interesting thanks John @JohnBennett

  • I want to know more about the trends in teaching, be up to date about the technologies can help us as teachers to use in our teaching process.

  • Me too , good luck Sylvia

  • Hi everyone , this is nazi From Iran, I have been teaching English for almost 20 years , during this time of lockdown and the pandemic situation, where all the institutes and schools were closed , I really needed to know more about Online teaching and the platforms that will help better to reach our goals which is teaching English.
    Thanks

  • Yes of course she was

  • Nazi Asgari made a comment

    I really enjoyed studying this course with you all. It’s been a great pleasure to interact with teachers , parents and practitioners around the world and share ideas.
    I would also need to thank Tracey and Sheona for your kind cooperations .
    One thing I’d like to say here is that Tracey , you really looked like my first grade school teacher, each time I...

  • It was such a fantastic time studying this week ! Thanks a million

  • Wow lots of changes !i think there are good changes for all .

  • So sweet

  • Interesting Aileen !

  • I think to have great interaction with children can help us to know more about what they’ve learned and what they didn’t and keep track of their achievements.

  • It was amazing thanks everyone.

  • It will be a big room With lot of space and it should be cozy too. Also a the room should have lots of toys , and equipments for doing art and also somewhere without any gadgets , just physical and challenging activities.

  • I totally agree, I remember the time when I was a little girl studying English for the first time, I did not have any idea about what is going to happen, but the first day of the class played an important role for me that it leaded me towards learning English more more and then become a teacher , I think feeling safe , secure, happy and enthusiastic were the...

  • Thanks a a lot for this helpful course , I have learned Lots of new concepts relating to assessment from educators , mentors and teachers here

  • I haven’t used this method, it was completely new for me, we were just discussed about how difficult or easy the test was . I will use it for sure thanks

  • I think each kind of test is designed to meet all those criteria mentioned above but in some context it would be different as the aim of the test is different and some aspects would be more important than others.

  • I teach all age groups, kids ,teenagers , adults ,even middle aged ones , as I noticed based on my experience, it depends on the environment , equipment and their culture ( rural or urban) but the funnier the better

  • Great ,thanks for sharing Caroline

  • Great idea thanks for sharing frank

  • As it said in video , it depends on the aim of our assessment , in my context (EFL) it’s an integrated assessment .

  • I delivered achievement test and placement test

  • My class profile
    age : 16-17
    background knowledge: They have understood tenses, vocabulary related to social. They are able to speak daily English conversation.
    language level, strengths and weaknesses: They are at A2-B1 level. They have good English vocabularies and confident in using the language.

  • Same as ours

  • Totally agree

  • Same here

  • True Christina, but you know , the more emphasis and force is on summative assessment these days, especially in my case @ChristinaAU

  • I put check mark based on my understanding thanks @EvelynAlmeida

  • This week was really helpful and also perfect ,I’ve learned lots of new things for assessing grammar and vocabularies , thanks

  • Thanks for the idea

  • True thanks @EduardoMórlan

  • Nice suggestion , I’ve never used Kahoot ,thanks for sharing @GaelleCoste

  • Perfect , thanks for sharing @HaroonBaig

  • I like this part of your comment a lot lulia ,” time and energy consuming and may be confusing cause of much information , thanks @IuliaKelemen

  • Exactly thanks Eduardo , testing like real life situation will make more sense

  • Agree Susanti , without context the answer will be open , as it happens in real life situation @SusantiRetnoHardini

  • Sorry to answer your question , but I always ask them to do so and get lots of great feedback that sometimes they are not correct too but I understood that they have such a problem or they misunderstood Some parts ,at the same time they feel relaxed that they won’t be Judged by others, and it becomes like Q&A for us too @JonathanDixon

  • Yes Anita , I do too , thanks for sharing @AnithaKumariVasipalli

  • Totally agree , it seems like you did something but not complete enough to show it @JonathanDixon

  • I agree too, feedbacks have vital role for both teachers and learners @JonathanSweeney

  • I totally agree with prof Barry, when we talk about accuracy it must assess directly because the students should know about their performance, at the same time if we don’t know any vocabulary or structure how we can make it and communicate , so I think it correlates

  • Nice thought ,@MichaelC

  • The Aptis is not available in my country Iran ! But as it mentioned in the video , it depends on our aim as a teacher and the student’s aim as learner. So it can be done separately or through four skills

  • Yes I always ask them to do depends on their level @JohnWheeler

  • I have the same idea , I always tell my students too @LouiseNevitt

  • @JohnWheeler thanks John

  • Thanks for sharing @DavidMELHUISH

  • Exactly I do too , and it really helps @AndreaM.Santoianni

  • Totally agree , the way of teaching makes sense for these @SheenaBrabazon

  • @RanuParmar it was the same for us too

  • Thanks for those websites @JohnWheeler

  • Yes when I was a kid we had the course book that was just designed to teach grammar and vocabulary so as a result our test were the same too.
    Nowadays the test that our students have are assessing grammar and vocabulary mostly through four skills.

    It was great but the length of the video did not allow me to watch it completely and I could not download it too
    Thanks

  • Nazi Asgari made a comment

    It was fantastic thanks a million , lots of thing that I’ve learned and refreshed in my mind

  • Great idea thanks

  • Agree

  • Couldn’t agree more@JohnWheeler

  • I think language skills can’t be separated from each other so agree totally @SusantiRetnoHardini

  • Great point ,thanks@SianMorrey

  • So what would be the answer? As I always struggle with this with my students @RichardSpiby

  • Same here I do have this problem @JoannaJastrzębska-Szklarska
