During Fall semester 2023, the method of assessment I used consisted of weekly reflection papers, presentations, weekly discussions, film reviews, and exams.

This semester was a bit of a challenge in terms of engagement. A lot of students relied on Ai generative essays. There were also students who simply did not participate.

There are a few actions I would like to employ in terms of improvement:

***I would like to send multiple reminders regarding upcoming drop days so that students are aware.

***I would like to introduce live virtual community forums that occur monthly so that students can engage and continual dialogue around the topics and concepts discussed.

***I would also like to include 1-2 opportunities for students to present via zoom.

The students had an oral exam at the end of the quarter : they were to answer questions on a one on one basis. The purpose was to assess how well they understood me, and to see if they could reasonably communicate their ideas. A list of questions was provided ahead of time in order to give them an idea of the kinds of things they may be asked to talk about.
In this oral exam, the aural comprehension is assessed as well as the ability to construct reasonable sentences and pronounce French reasonably well.

exceeding expectation 30%
meeting expectation 40%
approaching expectation 3%
students failing 7%
NA (absent ) 20%

70% of students did well , 27% of the students were either absent on the oral exam or failed. I would like to close that gap.

I need to support better the students that are struggling: encouraging them to practice their language skills, in students groups is a solution. If they join a study group at the beginning of the quarter, it may help them overcome the anxiety affecting their ability to perform.
Encouraging them to attend the French Club at De Anza could also facilitate the connections with other students and improve their oral communication skills.

Exit Interview

At the end of the quarter, I conducted an oral exam in the form of an interview to get insights into a student's language proficiency, communication skills, and ability to handle spontaneous conversation. The objectives were defined vocabulary, structure, pronunciation and spontaneity were the main criteria. The students were presented ahead of time with the questions they were going to be asked.

25% of students are exceeding expectations
65% of students are meeting expectations
2.5 % of students are not meeting expectations
7% of students were absent

I am very satisfied as 90% of the students met or exceeded expectations. This was a very good class with a very positive outcome

less than 10% of students failed the oral exam, either by not attending or by not doing well on the test.
I need to concentrate my effort in encouraging those students to get help from a tutor, work in groups . I also need to keep fostering a positive atmosphere in the classroom.
I may add role playing for few minutes at the beginning of class to provide more opportunities for oral expression ...

I conducted individual interviews in German with students in which they had to elaborate on familiar topics like family, food and everyday activities. They also had to pose questions themselves. Evaluation aspects: Use/command of language, quantity and organization of spoken language, language clarity, language control

All students were able to provide orally basic information relating to situations in familiar contexts. While they were able to also request basic information, many of them had more difficulties doing so.

As an instructor, I should devote more time in the classroom for students practicing the skill of asking questions in German.

Presentation/

Students were asked to select a social issue that they felt was compelling and prepare a presentation about it.
They had to prepare an abstract and a list of vocabulary words they would use. The presentation was performed during the final synchronous meeting and posted on a Canvas Discussion. The task was to use the newly acquired grammar and language skills, such as subjunctive and conditional, to talk about global social issues and debate possible scenarios and solutions in different countries.

Asking students to discuss a social issue they care about has proved a great motivator to go above and beyond the assignments. Nearly all students showed a great deal of effort and shared an authentic interest in each other presentation. making me reflect once again that creating assignments that are relevant to their life enhances the learning trajectory.

This was not the first time that I had a final presentation. However, it was the first time that I asked my students to choose a social issue freely. I'll definitely incorporate more activities like this in my future lesson plans

Exam – Cours

In class Work/Participation (10%): As the Korean 1 class is a language learning course, you will be expected to fully participate in all activities during class. Each day, many opportunities will be provided for you to practice listening, speaking, writing, and reading skills. You will be graded on appropriate and consistent engaged interaction in Korean with your classmates and your instructor.
Homework (20%): There are three types of homework in this class.
Homework is assigned at the end of each class meeting. Mostly you will be asked to complete your workbook exercise along with preparing oral/written quizzes or presentations.
Listening practice: As part of the course work, you will spend at least one hour per week listening to the online scripts and completing exercises in the workbook. However, that 1 hour lab work can also be completed by doing listening practice with other helpful website materials or watching Korean TV or movies only if you finish your workbook exercises before one hour passes.
Essay: This homework is intended to help students better understand Korean history and culture. It is indicated in advance on the course schedule, so please check it.
Test/Quiz (20%): For each unit, you take quizzes and tests of written and oral. The content of tests and quizzes will be based on completed homework and each lesson. If you complete the homework, pay attention, and participate fully in class, you will do very well on these tests and quizzes. All the tests and quizzes will be announced in advance.
Presentation (10%): Script and Oral Presentation. The oral proficiency assessment will consist of conversation with a partner about a topic we have studied. The entire exam will take approximately 5-10 minutes and will be scheduled later in class and we will engage in many practice activities prior to the assessment.
Midterm(20%), Final Exam (20%): The midterm and final exam will be taken in class. The format will be similar to the exams, with listening and reading comprehension, written work, cultural material, grammatical functions, and vocabulary. No make-up will be given for the final exam and no final exams are administered early.

Most students reached the standards. There were about 3-4 students who always participated in class but had difficulty understanding the class.

It is important to set goals at the beginning of the quarter and help students reach those goals so that they reach the standards they set for themselves. I will pay more attention to ensuring students are familiar with each quarter's assignments in advance so that all students can feel the desired level of achievement.

The students were interested in the Korean language and culture, so the class atmosphere was active and enjoyable. Whenever students had the opportunity to give a presentation, they happily participated in the class with new ideas.

It is expected that students will achieve greater results in class if student participation is considered more in assignment settings and in-class activities.

Homework assignments using online tools (GoReact) to allow students to record their note-taking process and speech voice at the same time. Their performance is documented on the tool's secure website to allow the instructor to review and give feedback, and allow students to view each other's performance and comment.

Using GoReact to record and assess student performance turns out to be a great choice, as it faithfully records and documents the actual note-taking and speech rendition processes of consecutive interpretation. Both are crucial stages and skills to learn in consecutive interpretation, requiring high degree of cognitive processing and language proficiency.

Except for two students who simply did not turn in any of the homework, the rest of the class clearly demonstrated the note-taking skills learned in class.

The instructor, having taken end-of-quarter voluntary feedback from at least 1/3 of class, will add in-class discussions and breakout room activity in future quarters, in order to further enhance the learning and allow students to feel even more engaged.

Project

A project "City where I live” was performed towards the end of the quarter. Prior to the project, students were asked to prepare some pictures - photos taken by themselves or retrieved from the internet - and learn the core vocabulary.

During the assessment students had to describe their cities by mentioning famous sightseeing’s if any available, interesting places to go to, fun places to visit. The class was divided in several groups. Students benefited of speaking Russian with their classmates, they described their cities/towns and asked each other questions about interesting objects in their areas. Students evaluated their work by themselves and I added my points as well after I attended and observed the work in the groups.

10 points were given if student was attentive and eager to participate; gave more than asked for; negotiated meaning with other students; elaborated spontaneously; used circumlocution to compensate for unknown vocabulary
6-7 points were given if student participated adequately but waited to be called upon; responded sometimes incorrectly.
1-2 points were given if student barely cooperated with the classmates; responded mostly incorrectly.

I am delighted with the results and the quality of work

detailed description of this project were appreciated by students as I could attend all groups at once.
