Using group-based ranking to tackle the problems of performance test assessment

Event Speaker(s): 
John Larson
Sunday, August 4, 2024 - 2:00pm to 4:30pm

Grading performance tests in large classes can be a daunting task, especially when the assessments involve subjective grading assignments such as essays, projects, or oral presentations. The problems that arise can be divided into two categories: those of objectivity and those of time. 

This presentation will demonstrate a method that uses group-based ranking to overcome these difficulties, while at the same time increasing the amount of actionable feedback students receive.

JOHN LARSON has been actively involved in Gunma JALT for most of his 25-year career teaching English in Japan. At the time of this presentation he works as an assistant professor at Kyoai Gakuen University. 

There is a short drink/snack/rest break midway through the event.

This is a face-to-face event sponsored by JALT Gunma Chapter.
