About this webinar
In the first three webinars on Creativity, we explored creative task design which encourages creative, meaningful, and highly personalised output. But the story doesn’t end there! Student output needs feedback, and this includes feedback on task completion, on the learning process and on language – after all, we are language teachers! Feedback can be driven by the teacher, by our classmates and we can also encourage students to self-reflect. How can this be done creatively?
In this webinar, we explore:
- What to give feedback on
- Creative ways to give feedback to our students
- Creative ways to encourage peer feedback and self-reflection
Recorded on Wednesday 27 July 2022
