Presentation title: Practice and analyze beginner-level English conversations with a new activity plugin: the P-CHAT Presentation type: Presentation (40 mins) プレゼンテーション（４０分） Presentation language: English 英語 Presentation keywords: formative assessment, communicative language teaching (CLT), automated speech recognition (ASR), Poodll, Moodle plugin Presentation abstract: This presentation introduces a new activity plugin for Moodle called “P-CHAT” (Practice Conversations as Holistic Assessment Tools). The P-CHAT plugin is a formative assessment tool that provides students with 1) an opportunity to practice conversational English,2) immediate feedback based on hard data of their contribution, and 3) a timely opportunity to reflect on their performance with a view towards future improvement. Adapted from a formative assessment technique that has been developed over the past two years, teachers can use the plugin for student assessment and evaluation, and researchers can utilize a large quantity of data for investigating a variety of questions. In a P-CHAT activity, students first prepare to converse in English about a particular topic before making an audio recording of their contribution. Once the conversation has ended, students transcribe their contributions. When students are finished transcribing, they receive immediate feedback on their oral production including total words spoken, turns taken, average turn length, longest turn length, target vocabulary used, and a comparison of their transcript against one generated using automatic speech recognition (ASR). Students complete the activity by answering a series of reflective prompts. In addition to discovering the learning benefits of the P-CHAT plugin, attendees will have the opportunity to try the P-CHAT firsthand. This plugin is being developed with support by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 19K13309. I t is available for download and use at no charge. |
