En particulier, nous allons explorer les liens théoriques et pratiques entre les approches pédagogiques qui intègrent l’enseignement par les tâches, et la gamme de possibilités pour inclure l’évaluation dans l’enseignement. Nous allons mettre le point sur une analyse critique des différentes approches à l’évaluation pour l’enseignement de langues. COURSE DESCRIPTION: The goal of this course is to develop students’ professional and critical perspective in the areas of taskbased language teaching and assessment. In particular, we will explore the theoretical and practical links between the pedagogical approaches that include tasks as a component, and the variety of possibilities for including assessment in teaching. We will focus especially on a critical analysis of various assessment approaches for language teaching. RÉSULTATS D’APPRENTISSAGE: À la fin du cours, vous saurez • Articuler le rôle de la tâche dans l’enseignement de langues et ses bénéfices pédagogiques • Analyser les parties composantes d’une tâche pour comprendre leur contribution à l’apprentissage de langue • Lier les différentes approches à l’évaluation aux contextes d’apprentissage et comprendre les liens entre l’évaluation et l’approche pédagogique • Créer un plan pédagogique qui intègre une (ou des) tâches et proposer des techniques d’évaluation appropriée, et soutenir le tout par une exploration de la théorie LEARNING OUTCOMES : At the end of this course, students will be able to • Articulate the role of task in language teaching and clarify its pedagogical merits • Analyze the constituent parts of a language task in order to understand their contribution to language learning • Link the various approaches used for evaluation in language programs to learning contexts, and understand the links between assessment choices and pedagogical approaches • Create a pedagogical plan that integrates one or more tasks and propose appropriate assessment techniques, and provide a theoretical justification FORMAT DU COURS: This is a fully online course. Students will be expected to use a variety of technologies for ongoing engagement in course activities and learning tasks. Desire2Learn (D2L) will be used to post class resources, including links to readings and video, and as a site for ongoing dialogue. To access the course in D2L, you are required to enter your IT username and password. An active University of Calgary email address is also required / expected. Adobe Connect will be used for 2 synchronous seminars in this course. You will also need to have a head set with a microphone. It is assumed that participants in the course are seeking an opportunity to practice their French while learning the course content. The course is in French with some flexibility regarding other languages and bilingual practices are welcome (for example, no need to translate quotations).
