Description
This poster describes issues related to building a culture of self-evaluation (Shephard, 2019) in a speaking class for pre-service trainee teachers at a university in Japan. Students' reflective writing revealed their negative experiences of testing and lack of awareness of assessment for learning (William, 2011). Student-led discussions and portfolio assessment were implemented in an attempt to stimulate critical thinking about learning and assessment as a process embedded in social context.
