4. Video Recognition
Participants are shown a grid/list where they check if they can identify different elements discussed in class in a selected video segment. The items you give them can be written on the board and participants can record their answers on a slip of paper to be collected later. You can do one with them so they can get familiar with the activity and then use another one for grading. Participants may identify seating arrangements, skills taught, correction techniques, etc. The results can be used as a springboard for further discussion, too.
To this purpose you can use 3 video materials:
(1)Shaping the Way we teach videos in Virtual Assistant
(2) Interchange Video Training VHS tape
(3) Utube links recommended in syllabus in Virtual Assistant

5. Sample (Unit 4) Check the statements (yes/no) based on
what you see on the video segment:
Class activities take care of different ‘sensory preferences’
Class activities focus on ‘multiple intelligences’
Teacher asked learners for feedback
A part of the lesson was dedicated to learner training

6. Class Participation in tasks
Participants are assigned a grade based on the quality and quantity of their contribution/performance in book tasks or other additional task (application/practice) provided by the teacher.

7. Effective communication (ability to convey message clearly)
Participants are assigned a grade based on their effectiveness and appropriateness in using language for all different tasks

8. Portfolio (equivalent to ALP grade)
Written products from tasks such as summaries, reflection paragraphs, material design, lesson plans, test items/test designs, collected information from the web, etc. are to be archived in a trainee’s portfolio.
This will serve as the evidence of the trainee’s relevant artifacts and ongoing learning progress. Please assign an overall grade based on the quality and quantity for all the work done by the trainee along the course.

9. Final Oral Exam
Oral exams will seek to give you evidence that the trainees are able to:
(1) plan a coherent class
(2) conduct effective instruction.
Please assign a relevant area. In MET1, you can use the pair-work activities in Appendix 2 (or any other similar material). Based on the number of hours in the Suggested Teaching Schedule, allocate reasonable time for individuals, pairs or small groups to perform in front of the class.
In MET1, it is compulsory for trainees to work in teams. Trainees must be advised accordingly with sufficient time in advance so they can prepare themselves. Sketch for the lesson must be included in the portfolio.

10. Final Written Exam
Formal written evaluation is done through the official standardized final written exam from the office.
The exam focuses on testing:
(1) Knowledge and understanding of the relevant
TEFL topics covered
(2) Their practical application for a class. The
exam uses different assessment formats
(charts to complete, true-false sections,
sample activities from real textbooks to specify
class procedures, etc.)
