Things to consider when planning assessment

• Is it authentic? eg: to communicate, to publish

• Is it creative?

• Does it encourage students to learn language/phrases necessary for the task?

• Does it provide opportunity for impromptu language use?

• Is it assessment for, of or as learning?

• Will you set assessment criteria in advance? Eg: rubric

Teaching and learning languages: A guide. (Scarino and Liddicoat)

• Is it expensive? (if each student is downloading) • Consider cost if you only use it once? • Will all students need to access Internet at once? • How will students share their work?
