INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: WHEN YOU RETURN THE
EVALUATION SHEET TO THE TEACHER,
DO NOT INCLUDE THIS
SHEET: KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Students
participate in the discussion as their double:
(1.) linguistically, (2.) interactionally and (3.) culturally.
The
Group Leader marks their participation in three ways: as a presenter,
as a listener, as a member. The Group Leader
also justifies the marks in a brief comment after each member's mark.
(If space is insufficient, write on the back.)
-
Criteria for a good presenter: fluent and intelligible,
appropriate register and
style for the double chosen; use of idiomatic metalinguistic gambits
in the presentation (from cue sheet); clear explanation of the
content of the article. In short, a good presenter has four
qualities. She or he:
a. is fluent,
b. talks like the student's "double", c. uses many gambits,
d. explains things clearly.
PRESENTER
POINTS: 0 = none of the qualities 1
= one or two qualities; 2 = three or four qualities.
-
Criteria for a good listener: attentive direct gaze, constant
back-channeling, overlap to request clarification but no multiple
floor taking, 4-step questioning (all 4 steps explained
in the handout (click here)
must be used), questions show good understanding of speaker. In
short, a good listener:
a. gives regular feedback, b. takes
orderly turns, c. asks specific questions, d.shows
understanding.
LISTENER
POINTS: 0 = none of the qualities 1 = one or two
qualities; 2 = three or four qualities.
- Criteria
for a good group member: a.
helps with the organization of the recording, b. collaborates
constructively in the discussion on evaluation, c. helps other
students who are less able than he/she; d. is punctual and
well-prepared. To get a point for this category, a student must have
ALL the qualities.
GROUP
MEMBER POINTS: 0 = from zero to three qualities
1 = all four qualities.
