I'm looking for scales to measure the effectiveness of language teaching. I'd be glad if you could recommend some valuable papers in this field. Thanks a lot!
The effectiveness of language teaching is based upon the learner's ability to use the language. It is the outcome of teaching that is significant.If the learner can apply the language effectively, the teaching might be effective.
Students responses and communication with each other would be a good sign of the effectiveness of language teaching.
We could also consider the macro skills (viewing, reading, writinga and listening) in measuring the effectiveness of teaching the language. I teach Nihongo....I extend my class outside the classroom. Whenever I encounter my students in the school I ask them questions in Nihongo..if they were able to reply in nihongo correctly then we could say that teaching the language is effective.
Dear Szabolcs,
Thanks for supporting me.
Dear All,
Thanks for your useful reply.
Szabolcs Nagy Language (s) comprise of various skills and sub skills. Teaching language (s) ,and measuring language offers a vast area for scaling. Dividing the areas, then measuring the sub areas one after the other seems to be credible. I have recently published a reseach paper, see if it can fit in your requirement:
Riaz, N., Haidar, S., & Hassan, R. Developing English Speaking Skills: Enforcing Testing Criteria.
Thank you so much for your valuable contributions! I'm working on this project with my PhD student, who owns a language school in Hungary, to investigate how digitalization affects language teaching services (doing business) and the ways to learn new languages (consumer habits).
The effectiveness of language teaching can be better achieved through face to face interaction between the teacher and his students;through alive communication,so to speak.
The first thing that comes to my mind is taking a look at the goals and objectives for each course. How about creating a scale based on the goals and objectives set for a course?
Another thing that could be helpful would be the students’ feedback by answering a survey or questionnaire on the teaching or the teacher’s work.
Dear All, Thanks for your valuable comments/support again. Thanks for Nailah Riaz to share the research paper. Tomorrow I'm going to read: ' Riaz, N., Haidar, S., & Hassan, R. Developing English Speaking Skills: Enforcing Testing Criteria'.
Dear Israel Jasso, Thanks for your question. Let's be honest, I was snowed under with my questionnaire and some international students completed it on the teaching but the teacher’s work should be interesting.
Dear Eman Jabur, Thanks for your comment. What do you think about teaching via skype? I mean f2f?
Dear Ma. Celine Calado, Can you use any online tools/solutions in your class? Can you combine traditional teaching methods with digital tools like e.g. course books and online materials etc. during your lesson?
