BOSSA, the Basic Outcomes Student Self-Assessment, is a language learner-centered protocol that has been used by eight CLA language programs for the past two years, reaching nearly 6,000 students. You may be an experienced BOSSA instructor or you may have heard about BOSSA from other colleagues. If you are a current user of BOSSA, what has your experience been thus far? How have your students reacted to the BOSSA protocol? Has BOSSA had an impact on your teaching practices? Have you tried any follow-up activities in class that you would like to share with others? If BOSSA is not part of your syllabus (yet!), come and join us for a conversation about the learning opportunities BOSSA offers to your students.
In this swap shop, four experienced language instructors will share with us how they are supporting students in taking charge of their learning and making plans to achieve their goals. Furthermore, the panelists will discuss their take and implementation of BOSSA in current and future courses. Join this swap shop to help us gather ideas and suggestions for improving the students’ self-assessment practices.
Facilitators: Gabriela Sweet and Anna Olivero-Agney, CLA Language Center
Panelists: Frances Matos-Schultz (Spanish), Kathleen Rider (Italian), Ginny Steinhagen (German), Rasha El Helw (Arabic)
This event is open to CLA language instructors. Come early and meet other BOSSA users. Session starts at 12:20. Pizza will be served at 12:00 p.m. If you are having issues with registration, please email elsie@umn.edu for assistance.
Swap shops: Input needed
