EU-folio or how to encourage cooperation and communication (in second foreign language lessons)

Tatjana Lubej, Osnovna šola Janka Glazerja Ruše

To give feedback on the work done orally or in writing ? Which has more long-lasting effects and which is of greater value to the recipient? We will search for answers by means of a lesson presenting students’ speaking performance and then giving feedback from the teacher and students in EU-folio.

We will review the forum in the EU-folio (based on Mahara), where for each student a new thread was opened, and into which instructions for work and the evaluation criteria prepared by the students were included. The participants will look at what the authors of speaking performances have included into their topics, how other students evaluated their performance immediately after it, and how the authors managed to find the good elements of their work and made a plan for improving the bad ones.

The teacher’s task of preparing students for such type of learning and giving feedback, as well as checking students’s work and making comments on it, will be presented, too. The last part will be giving immediate feedback (in writing and orally) and estimation of its value and usefulness.
