Yes, I have used rubrics for teaching in an English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) class. Rubrics are an effective tool for providing clear expectations and criteria for assessment. They help students understand what is expected of them and provide a transparent grading system.
In an EMI class, I used rubrics to assess various language skills such as speaking, writing, and listening. For example, in a speaking assessment, the rubric would include criteria such as pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary usage, and grammar accuracy. Each criterion would have different levels of proficiency, ranging from beginner to advanced, and specific descriptors to guide the assessment process.
Rubrics also helped me provide constructive feedback to students. By using a rubric, I could pinpoint areas of improvement and provide specific suggestions for each criterion. This allowed students to understand their strengths and weaknesses and work towards improving their language skills.
Additionally, rubrics helped maintain consistency in grading across different assessments and different teachers. It ensured that all students were assessed using the same criteria and standards, reducing subjectivity in grading.
Overall, using rubrics in an EMI class enhanced the clarity of expectations, provided a fair assessment system, and facilitated effective feedback for students. It also helped me as a teacher to evaluate student performance accurately and provide targeted support for their language development.
