Teaching process How a course is working
Students’ features • Literate migrants (Low Secondary Education level at least) • They usually settled migrants. So they can speak, but they can’t write nor read. • They can usually use computers. • They usually have a job.
Starting guidance • INTERVIEW • INITIAL ASSESSMENT • Computer test • A test is available in Ave platform to assign students to courses • Writing test • According to the result of AVE test, students do a writing test • Oral test • Student’s assignment to a course
Registration • The first assigment to a course is temporary. Students can spend two weeks to check if their course is suitable for them. • Registration
Methodology • Tasks • Give news and advice to students. • Organize and make easier group communication. • Monitoring and student assessment. • Work with other teachers. • Reviews • AVE materials • If it is necessary, prepare additional materials to students and upload them on the Bank Resources. • Make easier relations between students.
Semi - distance Distance Tutorials • Students work at home. • A working calendar agreement is reached. • Comunication between students: • Chat rooms. • E-mails, forums, news boards… • Communication with the tutor: • Once a fortnight at least. • Organize chats (setting time meetings). • Encourage the forums. Three classes/week: • Two 1h. 30 min. classes working with computer. • One 1 h. 30 min. class having conversation. They work questions related to they have studied in AVE lessons. They are useful to - Strengthen grammar questions. - Review and widening vocabulary. • Make writing exercises
Certificate Monitoring and assessment • Monitoring • AVE monitoring • Answer e-mails. • Encouragement messages. • Correction messages • Platform revision each two weeks. • Assessment • Final assignments • “Graphic adventures”
Conclusions • AVE platform has good, appealing, entertaining, well designed materials. • Useful tools to communication and monitoring. • Suitable contents for daily life. • Four language skills are worked • Enhance student’s autonomy. Different learning paces are possible. • AVE courses encourage students (appealing materials, self-assessment, communication) • Different kinds of teaching are possible: classroom, semi-distance and distance teaching.
Challenges • Rate of passed students are low (about 25%). We think it is due to: • Social and personal questions (job, familly…) • A certain study level is requiered • We have to think new approaches to deal with this issue.
