Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article deals with the problem of the initial stage of the future English teacher training and forming basic professional teaching skills by means of the implementation of formative assessment methods into the process of studying. It reveals the urgent necessity of using a modern and reliable system of assessment as a sound foundation of a high quality education and the key role of formative assessment in the process of foreign language teaching and learning. The aim of the article is to reveal the idea of formative assessment methods introduced into the course of English Speech Practice not only as a means of the first-year students’ language competence formation but also as a tool of their pre-service training. It is illustrated how a purely language task can be supplied with a pedagogic component to organize activities as much as possible imitating the atmosphere and surroundings of a classroom with students performing the roles of teachers and pupils. The results of the research presented in the article make it evident that introducing formative assessment into a university English class is multi-purpose: teachers can assess their students’ level of language knowledge and adjust the teaching process, and students can use it in solving professionally oriented practical tasks and assessing their peers and themselves.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
