Visualize Your Teaching - Understand Your Style and Increase Your Impact (Paperback): Kyle Ezell Visualize Your Teaching - Understand Your Style and Increase Your Impact (Paperback)
Kyle Ezell
R737 Discovery Miles 7 370 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Visualize Your Teaching offers a unique way of helping educators see their own teaching so they can strengthen their practice. Author Kyle Ezell uses a series of simple but compelling black and white graphics to take you through teaching's parts, flows, and signals. He demonstrates that it's important to be aware of what's happening when playing distinctly different parts as you teach, depending on the context. Flows connect parts together over a lesson. He shows how to visualize the impact of how flows connect over a range of circumstances. You also need to be aware of how you respond to many different signals that appear, pushing and pulling the lesson plan. Appropriate for teachers of all grade levels and subject areas, the book provides teaching scenario prompts for you to practice playing all the parts through self-observation and opportunities for you to diagram your own teaching. As you work through the pages, you'll be able to visualize your performance the way athletes do, becoming more in tune with yourself. With this book as your batting cage, you will be increasing your impact on students in no time!

Fundamental Considerations in Technology Mediated Language Assessment (Paperback): Karim Sadeghi, Dan Douglas Fundamental Considerations in Technology Mediated Language Assessment (Paperback)
Karim Sadeghi, Dan Douglas
R1,192 Discovery Miles 11 920 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Fundamental Considerations in Technology Mediated Language Assessment aims to address issues such as how the forced integration of technology into second language assessment has shaped our understanding of key traditional concepts like validity, reliability, washback, authenticity, ethics, fairness, test security, and more. Although computer assisted language testing has been around for more than two decades in the context of high-stakes proficiency testing, much of language testing worldwide has shifted to 'at home' mode, and relies heavily on the mediation of digital technology, making its widespread application in classroom settings in response to the COVID-19 outbreak as unprecedented. Integration of technology into language assessment has brought with it countless affordances and at the same time challenges, both theoretically and practically. One major theoretical consideration requiring attention is the way technology has contributed to a re-conceptualisation of major assessment concepts/constructs. There is very limited literature available on theoretical underpinnings of technology mediated language assessment. This book aims to fill this gap. This book will appeal to academic specialists, practitioners or professionals in the field of language assessment, advanced and/or graduate students, and a range of scholars or professionals in disciplines like educational technology, applied linguistics and TESOL.
