This type of task continues to be our most successful in terms of team teaching. Once again, there is the potential for instant feedback, for students in both classes to see and hear what the others are doing, and to measure themselves against the whole cohort. It also enables Gaby and Fishy to moderate on the spot.
Last week we sat the class in an elliptical shape across the two classrooms N10 and N12, we sat next to each other in the ellipse, and the students performed their speaking activities in the middle. Highly successful. It was also very clear to all which students had not prepared and had not learnt.
Previously we have used a speed-dating scenario, ie a long row of desks, students seated on either side to converse with each other, then moving on. Gaby and Fishy participated in this activity, assessing at the same time. We assessed half the class each and then randomly assessed 10 students in common for moderation purposes.
