Self- and Teacher Evaluation

Students and teachers may evaluate progress in this chapter in the following ways:

Teacher evaluation:  In addition to accessing the “Teaching Aids” Manual and Answer Key on the home page of this website, you may evaluate your students’ progress both quantitatively and qualitatively.

A.  For quantitative measure, you may enter grades for how well your students have done on the TOEFL practice exercises for Chapter 1.

B.  For qualitative evaluation, you may judge your students’ input on the “Best Answers” forum for this chapter.  There are at least four variables that are relevant here: 

1.  Consider the range of “identity” and “naming” topics covered in your students’ answers;

2.  Discern the breadth of vocabulary used in your students’ expressions; and

3.  Judge whether or not your students have learned inter-culturally.  That is, has there been progress in thinking across the North American and Vietnamese cultural boundaries as a result of your students’ participation in this “Best Answers” forum?

4.  Examine how thorough your students were in their www.Google.com search on Vietnamese rice production.

Student self-evaluation:  You may keep track of your own progress in this online curriculum in these ways:

A.  Review the posted entries in the “Best Answers” forum for Level II, Chapter 1.  Depending on the number of submissions, you may read carefully or you may choose to scan the posted answers.

B.  Are you more enthused about learning this new language as a result of the forum conversation you have had with your classmates and students from another country?

C.  List the number of “identity” issues you can think of, having completed the IC3 portion of the Listening/Speaking, Reading, and Writing sections of Level II, Chapter 1.  Is this number greater or less on account of your online conversation with students from Vietnam and another culture?

D.  If you are a Vietnamese student, chart the progress you are making on practice TOEFL questions.  These are offered in every chapter of the Level II materials.
