Language teaching and assessment notes

These notes cover methods and approaches, materials development, teaching listening and alternatives in language assessment. Some began as mind maps, so their notes present topics in connected sections rather than as a continuous essay.

For a broad starting point, try the note on methods and approaches. It lists several methods, making it useful for comparing their names and main ideas. Then read the note on materials development to look at resources used in language learning and teaching.

Review a topic

Use Teaching Listening when you want to focus on a particular skill. For assessment, the note on alternatives in language assessment includes reliability, validity and washback. After reading, write down the points you remember and return to the note to check them.

When you want a different way to review, switch to a mind map or quiz on the unit page. Pick a note and start with the topic you want to revisit.
