Aiding Students Understanding of Written Feedback through Blogs Nicole Takeda Aoyama Gakuin University April 2011

Questions? 1.Are students reading the feedback on their assignments (e.g. discussion worksheets)? 2.Do students understand the feedback? 3.Do student use the feedback to improve their future assignments?

Goals 1.to have students read feedback general feedback (blog) individual feedback on writing (worksheet) individual feedback on discussion skills (worksheet)

2.to have student decide which feedback was the most useful 3.to have students use the feedback to improve their future worksheets / discussions

Feedback Cycle 1. Classroom 2. Blog (general) & Worksheet (specific) 3. Blog (assessing student comprehension) This feedback cycle is repeated three times during the semester.

Instruction Before the start of each discussion, students are given instruction in a specific discussion skill and have a 20-minute controlled practice activity. Students receive 45 minutes of instruction on the first day of class on summary writing.

Feedback Cycle 1. Classroom a.Students lead discussions. b.General feedback given to students after each round of discussion (1-2 comments). Students required to note down feedback in their notebooks. Students required to include this feedback in the next round of discussions.

2. Blog & Worksheet a.Students read general feedback about discussions on blog after each lesson. 1-2 positive comments on discussions 2-3 comments on how to improve discussions and worksheets

Example of General Blog Feedback

b.Students read individual and specific feedback on discussion worksheet. Pointed out specific errors in summarizing and opinion giving. Gave specific comments on discussion skills based on classroom observation notes.

Feedback Comments on Discussion Worksheet

3. Blog a.Students respond to feedback questions on the blog as homework before their next assignment. Example: Review the blog advice I have given you about your discussions and read through the comments on your discussion worksheet. What are the three most important points you need to remember to improve your next discussion?

OE 2 Student Blog Comment Example #1

IE 2 Core Student Blog Comment Example #2

Types of Feedback A. Discussion Skills Feedback opinion giving expressions concept-checking turn-taking transitional devices giving examples clarifying information / asking for repetition paralanguage asking follow-up questions hedging / interrupting body language / gestures

B. Writing Feedback evaluation opinion & supporting evidence synthesizing How is this topic relevant to your life / to Japan? summary and opinion giving expressions grammar coordinating conjunctions (e.g. and, but, so) MLA style

Conclusions 1.Teacher: improvement on feedback comments (e.g. clarity and consistency) needed to repeat feedback

2.Students: Students read comments because feedback was included as a homework assignment. Students showed an understanding of the feedback through their blog comments. Final discussion worksheets had overall higher grades than first discussion worksheet.

Summary Teachers need to make sure students read, understand and use feedback. Teachers can assign students blog activities as homework to assess their comprehension of feedback.

Resources 1.Making your own blog 2.Making your own website 3.Oral English, IE Core & Academic Writing
