๐ŸŽฏA journey toward a new way of seeing things

โœ… FEP Fellow Bahriddin Gapporov from Namangan State University is currently being hosted by the University of Wisconsin โ€“ Eau Claire โ€“ where he feels at home as he connects with academic staff and student organizations, learns about the best food in town, and does one of his favorite sports โ€“ rock climbing.

๐Ÿ”–As Bahriddin notes, heavy snow and cold weather of Wisconsin haven't kept him from enjoying the university life to the fullest. Thanks to class observation and professors' support, Bahriddin learns with the latest methods and practices in use, not to mention a great many spectacular events he has been actively partaking in!

๐Ÿ“Besides methodological and cultural support, he was given a personal office. Bahriddin says: โ€œThis simple act of paying positive attention to people has a great deal to do with productivity.โ€ He continues: โ€œFEP is an opportunity to see something new, and to see something in a new wayโ€.

The way forward is by building a strong network!

๐Ÿ“Œ Recently, FEP fellows participated in the American Language Program Conference on Assessment for Learning โ€“ organized by Columbia University.

โœ… The conference proved to be very informative for FEP fellows, who gained experience related to assessing students' writing, listening and pronunciation skills. FEP Fellow Munojat Sultonova from Fergana State University, notes that the conference provided great context about the difficulty of assessment: "As teaching, assessment, and curriculum are connected with each other, we should work hard at assessment aimed at improving curriculum. Assessing students' language skills should be valid, fair, just, and for the purpose of learning".

๐Ÿ”ธThe Faculty Enrichment Program is administered by American Councils and supported by the U.S. Embassy Tashkent. For more information visit https://fep.americancouncils.org
