Term 1.4

As a group you have discussions with each other in English on various tourist topics in meetings. In total you will discuss 3 cases during the lessons. In the final lesson (oral assessment) you will roll the dice, which will determine which of the three cases you have to discuss for a grade. The result will be pass or fail. The English oral assessment is part of project 1.4 ‘The Airline Game’. 

Term 1.4

Students will conduct an English final summative oral assessment as a group. The final oral assessment consists of a meeting about one of the three tourism-related cases practiced in class. Cases 1 and 2 will be filmed during the lessons and will be observed by other groups for peer feedback. Based on this feedback, the group will write a group reflection.

You will write a Group Reflection about the progress and process for your case study meetings for English 1.4 and use 450-500 words to communicate this.
