High-level Measurement Tools for Language Awareness in English Classrooms
Marianne Rachel C. Gutierrez, Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines
Gad S. Lim, Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines
At present, evaluation and measurement tools used in Philippine high
school English classrooms test and exercise students' low-level thinking
skills, usually involving only recall and translation. The paper will show
how language can be more effectively taught through the construction of
evaluation and measurement tools using higher-level thinking sHIs, and
geared towards language awareness. Principles behind the construction of
such tools will also be discussed, to show how such tools can be used with
other leamer-centered teaching methodologies in the English classroom. |
