[Online TESOL] Questions about the Final

Content

Hi, I just took the last test in this course sad :(

There are two questions I think you should remark...
The answers and what you taught in the class are not the same.

1.“What is the dog in the middle of the picture doing?” is a good example of a question that gets students to interpret something or use their imaginations.
I think it's true because If we can clearly see what the dog is doing (ex)eating something or walking) we can interpret. or if the picture doesn't say it exactly we can use our imaginations. Especially there's no picture on the test so it's more ambiguous to tell.

2. New structures and vocabulary should only be presented in a presentation stage.
Please look at your previous reply to my q&a post. Yes it's true it is the best new structures and vocabulary are presented in a presentation stage but! when we do reading or listening activity, there might be new and important new words and we can present them simply.

Please recheck above two questions and check the score
Hope you have a lovely day! and thanks for everything

Hi again Joo Ree Ahn,

Good to hear from you again! Now, the points that you made about these two questions are pretty good. I'm particularly concerned about the second one, but not so much the first one.

While we could use our imaginations in regard to that question, there are not too many different ways that you could interpret that question, and therefore it is not well suited for questions that get students to use their imaginations. However, you're right, there should be a picture accompanying this question.

In regards to your second question, you made a good point. Generally speaking, structures and vocabulary "should be" presented in the presentation stage, but not always. This question should be changed.

Anyhow, these questions should be changed, and thank you for bringing them to my attention. I spend most of my time marking the written questions, so I often forget the t/f and multiple choice questions. I can't change your score right now, so I will add an extra mark to your final assignment for pointing out these problems.

Anyhow, thanks again for bringing these questions to my attention. Oh, and good luck writing your final assignment!

Have a wonderful day!
