Oral, Carmel O'Reilly
Oral, Carmel O'Reilly
Assessment & Feedback Cases
This assessment is the oral component of the language module. The assessment takes place in small groups throughout the module instead of one on one at the end of the module. This helps students who are often very nervous in the traditional oral and it also allows them to improve as they engage in a number of small assessments. As they discuss issues in a group they benefit from peer knowledge and experience.
