2018 THREE RIVERS TESOL ANNUAL FALL
CONFERENCE
Assessment in TESOL:
Evaluating Students & Reflecting on Practices
SATURDAY OCTOBER 20TH, 2018, 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM
ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTITUTE, UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH
PARKVALE BUILDING, 200 MEYRAN AVENUE PITTSBURGH, PA 15260
PLENARY: Technology and Assessment
Dr. Greg Kessler Session Abstract:
Technology has transformed education in dramatic ways. We have new ways to communicate through technology and in digital spaces. This has dramatically altered society and social practices as well as how our learners encounter English in their lives. We have the ability to increase student engagement by contextualizing instruction around their interests. We can gather data about student performance and provide them with feedback when it is most salient. These changes have influenced teachers to dramatically alter their teaching. However, assessment practices are rarely aligned with such practices, nor do they address the real language needs of our learners. The presenter will share his thoughts about how we can utilize technology to conduct assessment in more effective, efficient and meaningful ways. He will discuss the changing role of formative and summative assessment and the shift toward various dynamic ongoing assessment approaches.
Presenter: Greg Kessler is Associate Professor and Program Coordinator of Instructional Technology in the Educational Studies department in the Patton College of Education at Ohio University. He has published extensively and delivered keynotes and featured talks around the world. His research addresses technology, teaching, learning, culture and language with an emphasis on teacher preparation. He is editor of the CALICO Equinox book series, Advances in CALL Practice & Research, and the Language Teaching & Technology forum in the journal Language Learning & Technology, as well as many other comprehensive collections.
