The way forward is by building a strong network!
📌 Recently, FEP fellows participated in the American Language Program Conference on Assessment for Learning – organized by Columbia University.
✅ 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".
🔸The Faculty Enrichment Program is administered by American Councils and supported by the U.S. Embassy Tashkent. For more information visit https://fep.americancouncils.org
