Turn Up the Heat! Master the Hot Pepper Method!
Saturday January 25, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm MST
Yucca
Feedback Survey
Looking for an innovative and engaging way to build and assess learners’ proficiency levels? Come for a fiery session where participants will explore the “Hot Pepper Method” – a creative approach to measuring language skills using the heat levels of hot peppers as a proficiency metaphor. In this learn-by-doing session, participants will discover how to use hot peppers, from the mild bell pepper to the scorching Carolina Reaper, to represent different levels of language proficiency. Then they will dive into how this metaphorical framework can be applied to various assessment tasks, from beginner to advanced levels, preparing to ‘spice’ up instruction and feedback. Prepare for a session that’s equal parts spicy and informative, designed to elevate instruction and assessment strategies to a whole new level!
