This web page may help us complete our knowledge about AfL and putting into practice just following some few steps. I recommend you surfing all the different sections because you will find highly interesting researches, resources and tools that will certainly become vital when thinking about an useful way to apply AfL efectively. Please, do not forget to visit the Professional Learning Modules and Tools!! Specially Graphic Organisers Tools because they include real comments of teachers who implemented them in their classes.

Here is an article talking about Dictation Exercises as an assessing tool for the EFL class. Personally, I had never found this kind of exercises especially interesting for teachers before. However, after reading this I have changed my mind because I think that realizing of our pupils errors can be a great source which can help us to design differentiated activities in order to correct pupils' real mistakes. What do you think?

I found this interesting webpage with lots of articles about ideas for classroom management. The one posted here is just an example, because I felt some curiosity about how to handle difficult students, but also you can find strategies to get the attention of your pupils, things that we should not do, how to stop bullying in the classroom, etc. Sincerely, as a trainee teacher I personally think I really need to know what do to in difficult cases. So, I thought you may be interested too.

I really like those feedbacks, because children learn more if you encourage them to use their potential while realizing their limitations.

Hello! As I see some of you have shared your Glogs I would like to share mine. I think that it could help us to have a good collection of resources for our future lessons. At least it would be a way to start! :)

This is a video that explain the Taxonomy through scenes of a film, from my point of view is an illustrative video for a better knowledge of the main ideas. I hope that it could be useful.

This entry is about Word walls. They are not only a great tool for the early grades, but can be used all the way through high school.

It looks really nice! I think classroom walls can be an excellent way for teachers help their pupils develop and reinforce the learned topics. They provide subtle reminders of new and important knowledge.

Hello, class! I've found an useful Web to work with ICT in the school. It's very intuitive for the teachers and it's attractive for the pupils. It's has a variety of activities. I think that to know this kinds of resources can help the teachers to attend the diversity. I hope you like it!

Hello group! We have found an interesting PDF about classroom management and its connection with creating a positive learning environment. Usually classroom management is related to discipline and class control but with this PDF you will realize that a good lesson planning can provide a positive atmosphere in the classroom.

On this webside you will find a series of intersting articles by Littlejohn. The article "Language teaching in schools: What do students learn? (1995)" describes learning outcomes which go beyond and beneath the (simple) aims of a syllabus.

Ummm, really interesting documents to better our lessons. First, I tried the one about sharing decisions with the students and I must say it is very clarifying about how to provide decision making for pupils so that they could be more engaged with the learning.

Hi everyone! A well planned lesson is essential if we want are students to become successful, so we have found a short but clear video that explains the lesson planning process and some of the aspects we should take into account if we want our planning to become effective.

This webpage is a community of teachers wich share their experiences and their knowledge in order to improve and to help to the teaching community. Here we can find from tips and tricks to articles, debate forums and even a "find job" section. Enjoy it!

Here you have a interesting video, I think that it can help our to learn more about assessment for learnig. I would like to stand out an approach of feedback, they said the feedback must be descriptive and continous. I believe it could be useful.

This is a game very useful to introduce the vocabulary to the pupils, because it is a very dinamic and funny way to teach them vocabulary and simple structures as well. Pupils will be very motivated while working with this tool, and also it would be a good idea work in pairs and organise competitions. This would enhance the selfsteem and will increase the interest for vocabulary of our pupils.
