DESCRIPTION
ESl Pedagogy Research Project 2011. Beverly HIlls Intensive English Centre. Francine Harvey- Commeignes, Michael Harmey and Lisa Lum. Funding by Multicultural Project Unit. Newly arrived ESL students on transition to mainstream high school move from a commonly strongly supported learning environment to a commonly independent learning environment. This study explores ways to give high challenge and high support (through rich assessment tasks and wiki scaffolding) to equip students with the language of self and peer assessment for the purpose of developing learner independence in preparation for high school. Also to develop students awareness of high school expectations regarding assessments and marking criteria. Artworks by Chris Lawrie

Outcomes• Ss are now able to articulate the value of independence in the Australian context and how to achieve it.
•Ss are becoming more aware of how to approach high school assessment tasks and through the use of self and peer assessment are achieving greater success at meeting task criteria.
•Ss are now taking more ownership of their learning –referring to the marking criteria and handing in assessments early for teacher feedback thus showing more interest in producing a higher level of work.
