✅Abstract

Motivation

Teachers consider motivation of the students as the most influencing factor that can determine success or failure in second language learning process. But is experience a key value to apply this model appropriately? In a recent study in Korea , Maeng and Lee (2015) found that more experienced teachers did not use motivational strategies as often as they younger collegues did. The purpose of the question on experience was to understand the extent to which motivational strategies are acquired through a specific educational process. Bernaus and Gardner (2008) , who investigated the use of motivational strategies in Spain, also came to the conclusion that the attitude toward the learning situation influences achievement independently from the use of motivational strategies. This study suggests that strategies are effective only when students recognise them and perceive them as useful in addition to a good relationship with the teacher.

Formative assessment

In schools, the most common form of assessment is summative, which is used to measure what students have learnt at the end of a unit or term. Formative assessment, on the other hand, gives teachers the opportunity to gather evidence about student achievement in relation to success criteria, enables students to demonstrate what they know and can do, clarifies student understanding of concepts and promotes deeper understanding.

In this session Annie will present the ten principles of formative assessment as well as an outline of its main components and the role it plays in our teaching practice.
