Title: Technology-enhanced in-class assessment with instant feedback in language courses: Applications of Socrative, TEA, and Padlet
Abstract:
In the era of online-teaching and hybrid-teaching, the applications of new technology can help to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of in-class activities. In this sharing session, three online assessment tools with instant feedback are introduced: Socrative, TEA, and Padlet. I will demonstrate how to design in-class exercises for language courses with the assistance of these e-tools. Although they all provide instant-feedback, Socrative, TEA, and Padlet function in different approaches and fit different types of assessment and classroom activities, which will be compared and discussed at the end of the sharing session.

Abstract:
There are tons of authentic ready-made Putonghua and Cantonese videos on Youtube, Tiktok and Bilibili. By sharing the design of four enhancement courses: Foundation Putonghua, Intermediate Putonghua, Basic Cantonese I and Basic Cantonese II, I try to demonstrate how entertaining Putonghua/Cantonese songs and videos can be transformed and incorporated in Putonghua and Cantonese L2 teaching to enhance students’ speaking skill and cultural awareness.
