EALTA Summer School 2012: Goteborg Diaries Day 5

August13

In this last day of EALTA Summer School we started to work on real-life data that some of the course partipants provided. Thanks to them, we had the opportunity to take a look at authentic data sets which portrayed students’ performance on a Maths test. Norman guided us by making us reflect on the data […]

EALTA Summer School 2012: Goteborg Diaries Day 4

August13

On a beautiful and sunny Goteborg morning 2nd EALTA Summer Course on testing started off with very interesting presentation by John de Jong about setting standards. There are many commercialized exams which argue that they measure the same construct in language development and when we compare these exams one to another it’s often assumed that […]

EALTA Summer School 2012: Goteborg Diaries Day 3

August13

What’s the relationship between storytelling and testing? Norman (Verhelst)says that when testing we have a narrative but we need to be sceptical and critical towards the story and check whether the story we tell has any fallacies. In other words we need to check whether it’s trustable or not regardless of how beautiful the story […]

EALTA Summer School 2012: Goteborg Diaries Day 2

August12

I think the most difficult days were Day 2 and the following day- Day 3 because Jan-Eric Gustafsson carried out with classical measurement theory and we were introduced to ‘Item Response Theory’ by Norman Verhelst and both made me regret the days back at school when I tried (and unfortunately managed) to escape from the […]

I feel the buzz words that define being a “Digital Citizen” are; copyrights, netiquette and leaving smart foot prints and digital heritage. (Poster taken from: Common Sense Media) In Edorigami wiki page it’s argued that digital Citizenship […]

Gill Ville led us-all the participants- into the world of Twitter which has become a powerful virtual teachers’ room. She shared a very stimulating presentation which […]

Talking Presentations: Reading Enrichment

July12

“My students DO NOT READ”. Please leave a comment to this post if you have heard this statement or voiced it yourself. Unfortunately one of the common concerns of our modern day is that Turkish L2 learners of English often do not read very much. My friend/colleague Amy (Erenay) conducted an action reserach to foster […]
