Include Students through Reflection and Evaluation
Including students in the learning process, whether through explaining the purpose of an assignment, asking for ideas, or having students assess their own learning, helps them to become more engaged in their education.
This Spotlight on Language-Based Teaching shares ideas for how to guide students in evaluating and reflecting on their work. These self-assessments help them set goals for the future, and provide useful feedback to teachers on what students learned from assignments and lessons.
