  1. Facilitating language learning through social networking sites: Integrating advising into online teaching Discipline Workshop & Seminar Series, 2011-2012 University of Hull

  2. Overview What does ‘evaluation’ consist of in this context? Giving feedback – general and social media-related issues Task: giving feedback on social media ‘output’ References

  3. What does ‘evaluation’ consist of in this context? Not necessarilyformal assessment Giving learners an idea whether ‘they’re on the right track’ Helping learners to work this out for themselves (e.g. checklists, ‘Can do’-statements) Encouraging peer feedback

  4. Giving feedback – general issues • Corrective feedback can be divided into three categories • 1) Correction: provision of the correct target language form • 2) Feedback: an indication that an error has been committed • 3) Remediation: information about the nature of the error • Recent research indicates "that remediation, as opposed to correction and feedback, seemed to be more effective in fostering linguistic development." (Vinagreand Munoz 2011)

  5. Giving feedback – general issues • Even more so than in a f2f context, online feedback needs to be: • Clear • Constructive • Timely • Note: ‘timely’ does not mean ‘instant’!

  6. Giving feedback – social media-related issues Wikis for group projects : How to evaluate ‘team work’? Blogs as learner diaries: How to evaluate ‘reflection’? SNSs for language practice: What constitutes ‘best use’?

  7. Task: Giving feedback on social media ‘output’ Complete the tasks on the handout.
