Dear colleagues,

The third HUPE Rijeka Branch meeting will be held on 21 March 2020 (Saturday) at 10.30 a.m. at the Trsat Branch of the Rijeka City Library (Dvorana mladosti, Trg Viktora Bubnja 1).

Agenda:

  1. Marijana Petrović: Becoming test-wise

This will be a practical and easy-going workshop on testing. It will start with an overview of test types and types of tasks. Focusing on progress tests used in our classrooms, we will see a number of listening and reading items and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Applying sound testing principles, we will work together on designing reading tests for our classrooms and leave the workshop with tasks we can use with our learners. As promised in the title, we will check our test-wiseness using a very unusual tool!
