Introduction

The evaluation course helps me to improve my evaluating technique in writing, reading, grammar, listening, vocabulary and speaking skills, it is also a tool that makes the teacher reflect to find his/her own strengths and weaknesses by practicing the construction of diagnosis assessments and post-tests . It is a positive experience of learning that supported the gradual development of the master teacher to minimize errors during a real class. Also practicing different classroom management and grouping techniques by applying a variety of activities during the presentations, let the teacher notice how important those techniques are.

The following portfolio aims to join together all the activities, assessments, presentations and models worked during the classes and the experiences developed in those moments. It is a recompilation of all the evidence that helped me in my classes and in my learning process in how to make good assessments, how to assess properly and how to evaluate and tabulate the results.

Reading Comprehension Test (Vocabulary in context)  

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Questions 1 through 7 refer to the following passage:

In the 16th century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service by the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.

A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S latitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of Magellan.

One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian now known as the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after 98 days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease.

Later, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.

1. The 16th century was an age of great ______ exploration.

A. cosmic B. land C. mental D. common man E. None of the above 2. Magellan lost the favor of the king of Portugal when he became involved in a political ________.

A. entanglement B. discussion C. negotiation D. problem E. None of the above 3. The Pope divided New World lands between Spain and Portugal according to their location on one side or the other of an imaginary geographical line 50 degrees west of Greenwich that extends in a _________ direction.

A. north and south B. crosswise C. easterly D. south east E. north and west 4. One of Magellan's ships explored the _________ of South America for a passage across the continent.

A. coastline B. mountain range C. physical features D. islands E. None of the above 5. Four of the ships sought a passage along a southern ______.

A. coast B. inland C. body of land with water on three sides D. border E. Answer not available 6. The passage was found near 50 degrees S of ________.

A. Greenwich B. The equator C. Spain D. Portugal E. Madrid 7. In the spring of 1521, the ships crossed the _______ now called the International Date Line.

A. imaginary circle passing through the poles B. imaginary line parallel to the equator C. area D. land mass E. Answer not available  

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

The following passage refers to questions 8 through 14.

Marie Curie was one of the most accomplished scientists in history. Together with her husband, Pierre, she discovered radium, an element widely used for treating cancer, and studied uranium and other radioactive substances. Pierre and Marie's amicable collaboration later helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.

Marie was born in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, where her father was a professor of physics. At an early age, she displayed a brilliant mind and a blithe personality. Her great exuberance for learning prompted her to continue with her studies after high school. She became disgruntled, however, when she learned that the university in Warsaw was closed to women. Determined to receive a higher education, she defiantly left Poland and in 1891 entered the Sorbonne, a French university, where she earned her master's degree and doctorate in physics.

Marie was fortunate to have studied at the Sorbonne with some of the greatest scientists of her day, one of whom was Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre were married in 1895 and spent many productive years working together in the physics laboratory.

A short time after they discovered radium, Pierre was killed by a horse-drawn wagon in 1906. Marie was stunned by this horrible misfortune and endured heartbreaking anguish. Despondently she recalled their close relationship and the joy that they had shared in scientific research. The fact that she had two young daughters to raise by herself greatly increased her distress.

Curie's feeling of desolation finally began to fade when she was asked to succeed her husband as a physics professor at the Sorbonne. She was the first woman to be given a professorship at the world-famous university. In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for isolating radium. Although Marie Curie eventually suffered a fatal illness from her long exposure to radium, she never became disillusioned about

her work. Regardless of the consequences, she had dedicated herself to science and to revealing the mysteries of the physical world.

8. The Curies' _________ collaboration helped to unlock the secrets of the atom.

A. friendly B. competitive C. courteous D. industrious E. chemistry 9. Marie had a bright mind and a ______ personality.

A. strong B. lighthearted C. humorous D. strange E. envious 10. When she learned that she could not attend the university in Warsaw, she felt _________.

A. hopeless B. annoyed C. depressed D. worried E. None of the above 11. Marie _________ by leaving Poland and traveling to France to enter the Sorbonne.

A. challenged authority B. showed intelligence C. behaved D. was distressed E. Answer not available 12. _________ she remembered their joy together.

A. Dejectedly B. Worried C. Tearfully D. Happily E. Irefully

13. Her _________ began to fade when she returned to the Sorbonne to succeed her husband.

A. misfortune B. anger C. wretchedness D. disappointment E. ambition 14. Even though she became fatally ill from working with radium, Marie Curie was never _________.

A. troubled B. worried C. disappointed D. sorrowful E. disturbed  

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

The following passage refers to questions 15 through 19.

Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions. The most famous of these eruptions occurred in A.D. 79.

The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming eruption, although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong wind had disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night. Early the next morning, the volcano poured a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the city and filling the harbor with coagulated lava.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone and ash rained down on Pompeii. Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly.

Large portions of the city were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of destruction. Poisonous sulfuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were not buoyant in the atmosphere and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.

Over the years, excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about the behavior of the volcano. By analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects an animal specimen, scientists have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area's geography. For instance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along the Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius caused a huge tidal wave that affected the world's climate.

In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the skeletons of victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening the brittle bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and draw conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the excavations at both Pompeii and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewelry made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its tragic consequences have provided everyone with a wealth of data about the effects that volcanoes can have on the surrounding area. Today, volcanologists can locate and predict eruptions, saving lives and preventing the destruction of other cities and cultures.

15. Herculaneum and its harbor were buried under _________ lava.

A. liquid B. solid C. flowing D. gas E. Answer not available 16. The poisonous gases were not _________ in the air.

A. able to float B. visible C. able to evaporate D. invisible E. able to condense 17. Scientists analyzed data about Vesuvius in the same way that a zoologist _________ a specimen.

A. describes in detail B. studies by cutting apart C. photographs D. chart E. Answer not available 18. _________ have concluded that the volcanic eruption caused a tidal wave.

A. Scientists who study oceans B. Scientists who study atmospheric conditions C. Scientists who study ash D. Scientists who study animal behavior E. Answer not available in article

19. Scientists have used _________ water to wash away volcanic ash from the skeletons of victims.

A. bottled B. volcanic C. purified D. sea E. fountain https://www.testprepreview.com/modules/reading1.htm

Reading post-test results

Reading skill reflection Reading has an immeasurable value. A reading behavior facilitates the meaning of text understanding and the assimilation of them in a critical way, it also allows people to develop their human capacities showing a reflective and responsible attitude toward the social events, economic and political information presented.

Reading is also the fact that it is through them that people can begin receiving knowledge and make it significant in their learning process. It involves attention, concentration, commitment, reflection, analysis and a lot of reading techniques that people can use to make a good metacognition of the information received.

Reading can be performed in many ways and for many purposes. Thus, it is not the same reading for pleasure than that which is performed by an obligation. Anyway, always reading act as a phenomenon that allows us to encourage our imagination, create new worlds in our minds, reflect on ideas or abstract concepts, contact our language or with others, improve our spelling, learn more about other realities, etc.

It is always important to read render their best fruits that it is conducted in relaxed and quiet environments, which encourage the concentration, which allow the person to forget his surroundings and immerse yourself in the story you read.

As you notice, reading requires the use of many parts of the brain to develop reading skills, achieving levels of elevator understanding and also developing the capacity of imagination and creativity. That´s why it is really important to develop this skill not only with our students, but also improving it in ourselves, by practicing some activities presented for this group and of course evaluating if those strategies and techniques are really developing the reach of reading competences in the students and making a metacognition in the personal case.

Writing skill diagnosis-test

Writing skill reflection Writing well and with a good spelling is essential in professional and personal development, since much of our daily work is related in a written way, therefore, always trying to manage the best way we write is important. Writing means not to capture in a creative way any ideas and try to be a great writer, it consist is organize the ideas and express them clearly and in an organized structure. And this can be learn for anybody that want to be a good writer.

Learning to master the written texts also involves avoid confusion and misunderstanding. Unconsciously, we all tend to read between the lines and can perceive things that maybe they wanted not say in the text, these subconscious perceptions play a decisive role in our future relationship with the sender of the message trying to understand his/her personal environment, that´s why a good written communication will result in the recipient desired feelings. This perceive warmth, professionalism, interest and competition from the writer, which will encourage a more collaborative relationship.

Write clear it is to handle short words, better than long, as short words are often vivid words and popular, write simple phrases and say one thing or idea per phrase, as when speaking, use an exact word which says what is meant and don´t confuse the reader. And something very important use short but complete and coherent paragraphs, correct and precisely punctuation marks as full stops to distinguish one thing from another, a matter of another, a moment of another.

As we notice putting together words or sentences is not writing, we must follow some rules and steps we must learn and follow to be great writers and communicate our ideas in a proper way, so that´s why it is really important to motivate our students to write properly and correct, because it will open a lot of work and academic opportunities during their lives.

Grammar post-test

Grammar reflection Grammar refers to the compendium of rules, regularities and exceptions governing a particular language. Its importance lies in the fact that it serves as a reference text to solve doubts regarding on the use of language, to establish correct ways to express or to analyze any language. Grammar has a descriptive perspective, focus to understand the way in which a language is used, or focus on establishing how you should use it, realizing the most extended uses in a community speaker. Grammar are usually very specific rules.

One of the aspects that characterize humanity is being able to communicate through sounds, sounds that are able to convey ideas and thoughts of an amazing level of complexity and abstraction. This capability is primarily expressed in speech and writing. In these particular uses of language, there are rules that depend on each particular language, realizing the variety of them.

Grammar aims to point out the rules for each linguistic possibilities. However, sometimes there may be variants thereof that attempt to account for the principles governing them all. In any case, grammar serves as a means to reflect on that aspects of human language. Indeed, we all use it daily and that´s why we don´t pay too much attention to this important fact of the human communication.

Because of all the above ideas, it is very necessary to make students notice how important knowledge and good use of grammar in learning a language is, this will be good both oral as well as written communication, being a competent person .

Listening skill reflection Why is the listening skill very important in learning a language? Remember that learning a language is not only knowing what to say or write, but also how to express ideas respecting other cultures and traditions that we can learn by listening others.

Listening to others is to cultivate tolerance and patience, it's a way to get relations with great benefits in your life. But, do we really know how to listen others?

To develop the ability to listen it is necessary to understand others and get rid of the ego, it is true that there are people who when listening focus their attention on what they are going to answer or how are they going to continue the conversations before the other ends speaking, without checking what they believe to have heard, without recognizing the tone to the emotional nuances of the interlocutor.

To be a good listener helps you to deal with a lot of problems and watch the world with positive eyes, helping you to me more empathetic with others and also to improve the communicative skills. There are some tips people ca follow to be good listeners, for example: listen with an open mind, think and feel as the speaker, avoid comparing others experiences with your own, try not to help immediately, analyze the situation to give a proper solution, show interest to the speaker, remember the conversation to know what to say. You must show interest with your body language, and look at the speaker direct to the eyes.

Listening is one of the worst skills developed in students and in young people nowadays, and we as teacher must help them to learn how to be good listeners, working habitual activities, so they can increase this skill and apply it not only at school or class environment, but also to develop the communicative competences to be successful, not only in a personal level but also in their work. That is why it was very interesting for me to present ways and activities to work listening with students, show some new and alternative ways to learn how to be a good listener and also how to evaluate the listening skills in our students.

Vocabulary diagnosis test

Vocabulary post-test

Vocabulary reflection Each person uses in his daily communication a number of habitual words, which would be his personal vocabulary. Language scholars do not agree on the number of words used, but it can serve as a reference that when learning a new language some methods speak of 1000 terms as the minimum amount essential for a successful communication. What is clear is that the greater the number of words we use, the greater our ability to communicate.

The language has a complex classification of words: verbs, names, articles, prepositions, adverbs, etc. On the other hand, every day new ideas and tendencies appear that turn into words. The vocabulary is not something fixed and static, since it is constantly renewed and expanded. A good example would be youth jargon, that is, the words that each generation of young people invents to refer to things. It also happen in every context of reality, every profession or activity has its own vocabulary. You can speak or write in ordinary or specialized terms. This is what happens when we go to the doctor and we ask you to explain our illness with simple words, with an easy and easy to understand vocabulary.

There are universal words. Words that can be translated from one language to another, in this case there is no difficulty in the translation. However, there are very specific words that belong to a certain locality, to a specific town, in this context, the meaning of these specific words are untranslatable or, at best, have a special difficulty to be understood in another language, these types of words are called idioms.

Using a broad and precise vocabulary is a good recipe for everyday life. It is not about knowing words as if we collect them, vocabulary is the great tool of good communication and following the tips given by the speakers of this presentation, we can make our students increase that vocabulary to let them communicate their ideas, thoughts and feelings and make them good writers and speakers, but also understand, analyze and give opinions about any kind of readings and be good listeners.

Speaking skill summary

Speaking skill test-model Name: ____________________________________________________________ Date: _____________________________________________________________

Speaking Test Part 1: Interview Hello. My name is Katrina Martin. Could you tell me your full name, please?

Hello. My name is Elisabetta Bortolotti.

Thank you. Can you show me your identification, please? ... All right. That's fine. I'd now like to ask you some questions about yourself. Tell me about where you live.

I live in Venice, the capital city of Italy. It's very famous for being a romantic city, the city of love.

What are the advantages of living there?

It's lively and fun and you never get bored. You can find any kind of entertainment you can imagine, from pubs and clubs to museums and galleries.

What are the disadvantages of living there?

It's very crowded and quite dirty in Venice. You have to know which areas to avoid too, as some areas have bad reputations, especially at night.

We're now going to talk about animals, what is your favourite animal?

My favourite animal is the dog. I love dogs because they're a lot of fun, very playful, but also seem to have bit of character. So, it's always quite amusing to try to play with your dog.

Why do you think some people like keeping pets?

I would suspect it's mainly for the company, so that they don't feel alone when they come home in the evening and they have someone waiting for them. I don't have any pets, though I used to when I was a kid.

Are there any animals you are scared of?

I have a phobia of Scorpions. I reckon it's because of the way the creature looks and they can also be venomous. They're aggressive so if they sting you, you can get very badly hurt. Cockroaches are another animal I'm terrified of. I am afraid they will crawl on me.

Are zoos popular in your country?

Yes, they are, especially with kids. Kids love discovering new things, including new animals, and a zoo is the best place to do that. They can observe a wide range of animals in a safe environment.

Let's move on to talk about food. Do you think men or women make the best cooks?

It doesn't depend on the sex of the person but on their enthusiasm. The men in my family are really good cooks, and they enjoy talking about food as well as cooking and eating it.

Is it important to teach children to cook from a young age?

The younger the better. Of course, you wouldn't give a young child a knife, but they can mix ingredients together and things like that. The younger they start the better cooks they'll be when they grow up.

What is a typical dish from your country or region?

Lots of people think we eat beef brains all the time. It's a kind of national stereotype. But actually I've never eaten them! I would say a more typical dish is Pizza, and it's one of my favourites.

Do people in your country or region eat traditional food or international food?

We eat both. I regard it as very important to keep culinary traditions alive, but I also love Chinese food and Japanese food and Indian food, and loads of other cuisines. I like having variety in my diet.

Part 2 Now I'm going to give you a topic and I'd like you to talk about it for one to two minutes.

You’ll have one minute to think about what you’re going to say before you begin talking. You can make some notes if you wish. Here is a pencil and some paper.

I'd like you to describe a personal achievement you are proud of.

All right. Remember, you have one to two minutes to talk on the topic. Don't worry if I stop you, I'll let you know when the time is up.

Describe a personal achievement you are proud of.

You should say:

  

what you achieved when you achieved it what was difficult about achieving it and explain why you are proud of this achievement.

Please start speaking now.

Example:

OK, so you asked me to talk about an achievement I'm particularly proud of, so I could have talked about when I passed my driver's license test, or when I bought my first car, but in the end, I decided to talk about the only time I actually won a sports tournament.

Only once did I win my village chess tournament. It was when I was sixteen years old. It was particularly difficult because, to be honest, I'm not a great chess player and I always played mainly to have fun and not really to win. But that one year I decided. I made it my goal: I was going to win the village chess tournament. So I played many games, lots of them against older players, much older than me, who were members of the club, in their fifties, and it was very difficult. Playing older players is always tough. They have more experience, they do all these impressive tricks and they definitely know how to beat their opponent. And on top of that it's very much a matter of pride for them - they don't want to lose against one of the younger members of the club.

But anyway, I won a few games against older players and then I ended up playing the final against my best friend. And that was another difficulty. He was my best friend so I didn't want to play it too mean with him but at the same time I wanted to win. At least the fact that he was my best friend meant that I knew exactly how to beat him, though, because I had played against him many times before. We had a very long game and it was nerve-wracking. It wasn't very good game but in the end I won.

I'm very proud of my achievement because I managed to reach the goal I set for myself and it was something that I know neither the spectators nor the other players would have expected me to accomplish.

Thank you. Was your family proud that you won the tournament?

Yes, they were. We had a big meal to celebrate, and my dad cooked Pizza. He's a great cook so that was a real treat for me. We've been talking about achievements.

Part 3 I'd like to discuss with you some more questions related to this topic. First, let's consider the role of achievements in the world of education.

Do you think that in your country academic success is more valued than other kinds of achievement, such as achievements in sport?

No, I don't. I think in my country, successful sportspeople are looked up to more in society at large as well as at school.

Why do you think that is?

Well, I think people who are good students are often thought of as nerds and are teased by their classmates, whereas being good at sport is considered ‘cool’. Maybe this is due to the role of celebrity sportspeople, Francesco Totti being the most prominent among them in recent years. They are chased by the paparazzi, and given lucrative sponsorship deals and so on.

Yes, I see. In your opinion, is it recognition and prizes that motivate students to succeed, or is it a personal sense of achievement?

I would say they hanker after recognition from their teachers and perhaps envy from other students.

I know that was the case with me, if I'm honest! It may be, though, that if someone is particularly timid, they would actually shy away from any special recognition of their efforts.

Right. And what do you think makes some students more successful than others?

Although, as I said, most students are motivated by recognition, I do think that those who are the most successful in the long run are those who have intrinsic motivation. And that is because you don't always get congratulated publicly for everything you do, so someone who does things only for that would soon stop making an effort, you know?

Yes, that's a good point. Now, we're going to discuss motivation and achievement in the workplace.

Some people think that a successful person is someone who earns a lot of money. Do you agree?

No, I would define it as ‘someone who benefits others’?

Right. Can you explain what you mean?

Yes, I mean that working just for the money could be considered selfish. Most people do it, and I don't judge people for having that as their primary objective. Nevertheless, those who work to help others are more inspirational: nurses, for example, who really don't earn much, or youth workers, who often don't get much appreciation for their hard work, or those who do volunteer work with the homeless or something like that.

Yes, so you would say that most workers in your country were motivated primarily by money?

I would, yes. It's only normal. People have families to feed and, given the choice of a low-paid job that benefitted others and a higher-paid job that benefitted their own family, it's only reasonable that most would choose the latter. It's possible that those who choose the former kind of job are single or young, and so don't have that many responsibilities.

OK, And what about how things in the workplace have changed? Do you think people in your country take the same pride in their work as they used to?

Hmm, that's a tough question; I'm inclined to say ‘no’.

Why do you say that?

Because many people in my country now work for huge companies. They may never even have seen their managing director and certainly don't know him very well. They don't have any reason to take pride in doing the job to a high standard because feedback is limited. In the past, companies were not only smaller but tended to be family run, so everyone had something invested. I mean personally speaking, in the business, They cared about the success of the business.

Thank you. It's been nice talking to you.

Thank you very much.

Speaking skill test

Speaking skill reflection

Humans have the vital need to relate. These relationships in the social context are possible thanks to communication, which involves entering into relationship with others and in an exchange of opinions. The secret of a good speaker is not only to express well, but to make the listener understand the ideas, thoughts, feelings and senses he/she wants to share, so communicating is, then, expressing or expressing to others our thoughts, desires and our interpretations of things. All this, however, is not possible without language, since it is through this that the relations of communication are established.

Verbal language is an instrumental aspect of relationship. Without it man is a socially mutilated being, with no capacity to project himself symbolically. It is also considered as a fundamental aspect for the development of intelligence and for all cognitive activity related to life.

Speaking fulfills a number of important functions in the life of human beings, such as communicative, cognitive, instrumental, personal, informative, social and regulatory functions.

The development of this communicative competence in students is important because people who know how to communicate orally establish, among other things, a better adaptation to the social environment, thereby generating a better effectiveness in human relations as well as an improvement in the expectations of professional nature.

Conclusion.

Nowadays we live in a globalized world where everyone connects with everyone.

That is why learning languages is a great tool to progress as a student and professional. The development achieved by new societies resulting from economic and cultural integration requires the mastery of different languages. Learning other languages allows you to enrich your life, to experiment with new ideas, to exercise your mind, to benefit from world cultural diversity, to obtain scholarships for postgraduate studies, to work in a transnational company, as well as a capacity to express oneself in a way Understandable, increasing social relations.

Knowing the importance of learning a new language, it was interesting to receive a course that taught me not only how to teach language, but also how to evaluate the students’ progress in different ways to develop their abilities and taking advantage of the new technological tools that most of them already know, and also using new creative ideas to making the students feel confidence while they are being evaluating. All these were special and meaningful for my job. No matter how much experience I got through my job time practice, there is always room to improve by keeping an open mind about self-improvement. I also learned a lot from the different expositions presented by my classmates, practicing the different strategies and activities with my students. I confirm that group work can be a great thing because it makes the students share their ideas and practice not only the language competencies, but also social and attitudinal competencies that will then be successful professionals.
