One of the activity that we need to do is to

interview one of Values Education teacher that


teach ESP subjects. It quitely challenging for me
since I know that teachers are busy. I message one
of my grade 9 ESP teacher and I asked her
permission if I can interview her regarding the
methods and strategies she use to assess her
students. She said that she use formative
assessment during the discussions to strengthen
the lessons such as recitations, reporting, debate
and movie analysis. She said that it helps her to
assess the students engagement to her lessons.
Moreover, she use summative assessment to test if
her students learned something from the
discussion and she use quarterly and final exams,
group projects, and portfolios to assess her
students at the end of the semester. Also, I asked
her about the appropriate assessment that she do
to assess her students, she use the peer-
assessment, self-assessment, and quizzes. I asked
her why and her response is that they should know
the effort they give to their activities and they
honestly grade their self. Through this, I have an
idea on how to include my students on the
assessment.
However, I asked the teacher also about the ina-
appropriate assessment, she does not have
inappropriate things to do on her students but she
told me that it is not okay to not give feedback on
students activities and performances and not
giving them an enough grade. It gave me a time to
reflect that in order for us to validate our students
performances, we need to appreciate their outputs
and give them the appreciation because they came
from diverse cultures. Additionally, I collaborated
with my partner in demo teaching and we
summarized the answers that we collected. It
seems that the teachers that we interviewed has
almost the same answers given that they are both
ESP teachers. This activity gave me an insights that
as a teacher, we should be mindful to our students
background to know what assessments they need
to do to be inclusive and there were no students
left behind.
