Week 10:Emailing and texting (Extra Post)

-
Emailing and texting Emails are usually shorter and more informal than letters and people sometimes use abbreviations and ‘smileys’ in them. Smileys (also called ‘emoticons’) are images which look like faces when you see them from the side. They are made using keyboard symbols and are used to express emotions. Text messages are even shorter and more informal and usually use abbreviations. Here are some frequently used smileys and abbreviations: Smileys :-) I’m happy or smiling :-( I’m unhappy or angry :-D I’m laughing >:-( I’m very angry :-| I’m bored :-o I’m surprised or shouting :-@ I’m screaming :-* I’m sending you a kiss ;-) I’m only joking :-p I’m smirking (= smiling in an unpleasant or unkind way) :-b I’m sticking my tongue out at you Abbreviations AFAIK as far as I know IMHO in my humble opinion AFK away from keyboard   IOU I owe you ASAP as soon as possible   JIT just in time BAK back at keyboard LOL lots of love BCNU be seeing you L8R later BF boyfriend   MSG...

Week 5: Rubrics have become an integral part of teaching and learning

-
Rubrics have become an integral part of teaching and learning at all universities and places involved in ELT. EFL. ESL and others in the past few years. Here at UTN University, Teachers, directors and faculty developers have engaged in discussions in faculty meetings, in lunchrooms, and it certainly was one of the topics at the UTN EFL International convention recently held. Remember that assessment is not necessarily an either-or option. Instead, these assessment strategies can be used together in order to gain a better picture of your students' grasp of the content. In one workshop, they talked of tools for grading complex assignments, the purpose and characteristics of rubrics and the use of RubiStar was analyzed. At the end of the session, participants drafted a rubric for an assignment and gave and received feedback from a colleague. Benefits they reported include clearer complaints and more focused teaching. Of course there are also teachers who have reasonable reser...
