Final Reflection (Transcript) 

 
Hi  everyone.  ​Ammm​…  This  is  my  final  reflection  video  of  evaluation…  ​and  ​well​.  I’m  going  to 
explain  you  what  I  have  learned.  What  is  evaluation  ​and  what  implies  a  real  evaluation.  ​And​,  ​and 
then I’m going to give you my perspective ​from​, from all this. ​And what I have ​understand from all 
this course. 
 
Explain: needs the preposition “to”
Understand: I must use the past participle for this expression.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as amm, and, well, from.

I  must  confess  that  a  the  beginning  of  the  course.  I  have  no  idea  of  what  evaluation  involves  ​and 
what  implications  it  has.  So  for  me  evaluation  ​it  was​,  it  was  not  much  to  work  on  it.  It  was  not  a 
big  deal,  because  to  be honest, when I hear evaluation, ​amm​, the first thing that comes to my mind 
it  was  an  exam,  a  test  ​and  that  was  all.  A  test  in  which  students  must  ​sussed  or,  ​amm  achieve let’s 
say, ​ammm​, a determined level. But I’m going to tell you the definition of evaluation. Evaluation in 
the  context  of  learning  is  the  act  of  giving  feedback,  following  the  analysis  of  a  process, 
accomplishment  or  a  combination  thereof.  ​And  what  does  this  means  because  ​it  is  very​...  It’s  so 
easy  to  get  confused  with  this  definition  or  ​wer​,  well,  to  get  ​confuse  with  just  the  term  of 
evaluation.  
 
Sussed: I should use “be sussed”, because of the modal verb “must”.
Confuse: I should say this verb in past simple. 
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as and, it was, amm, it is very, wer.
 
This  means  the  more  analysis  the  more  feedback  we  will  have  ​and  if  we  have  a  deeper  analysis  we 
will  have  a  deeper  feedback.  ​And  ​we  would,  we  would  ask  ​to  ourselves.  Why  is  feedback  so 
important  for  this  process?  Well,  feedback  ​help  us  to  know  how  much  our  students have learned. 
This  reflects  the  knowledge  that  they  understand  ​and  this  helps,  this  help  us  as  ​teacher  to  know 
and  to  be  aware  of  ​how  much  or  what​,  how  much  we  are  teaching  to  them  ​and  how  we  are 
teaching  them.  ​So,  for​…  During  the  course  was  realizing  that  evaluation  is  not the same that a test 
and  evaluation  has  a  lot  of  implications  that  ​we​,  we  usually  don’t  understand or we don’t want to 
be aware of it. S​ o​ yes, ​emm​, evaluation involves a set of factors that are needed to take into account. 

Help: Should be on third person “helps”

Teacher: for this phrase, Teacher needs a determiner “a” before .
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as amm, and, we would, to, how much or
what, so, for, we, emm.
 

 
As  we  know  languages  have  been  taught  by  grammar,  spelling,  structures  and  theoretical 
knowledge  that  students  have  ​learn​,  but  it’s  necessary  that  students  know  how  to  use  those 
structures  ​and  grammar  on  ​real-life  communication of a different language. In this case in English. 
So it’s necessary that we help our students to develop abilities for that determined, ​eh​, language. ​So​, 
amm​,  if  we  consider  that  there  are  some  ​aspect  that…  aspects  that  standardized  tests  cannot 
measure.  For  example  the  fact  that  students  memorize  information  because,  ​ah​,  ​for  example, they 
have  at  the  next  day  a  test,  they  only memorize the information, ​so we don’t know if they are, they 
are  a  significant  learning  or  they  are  just  memorizing.  ​And  that,  that,  those  are  some  ​aspects  that 
standardized  tests  can  not  measure.  ​And  also  we  as  teachers,  eh,  as  a  result,  we  cannot  ​realized  if 
they  are  really  understanding,  if  they  are  really  having  a  learning,  a  good  learning  process  or  not. 
And  ​so  that’s  why  we  as  teachers  must  be  aware  of  how  we teach, according to make our students 
have  this  significant  learning.  Because  on  the  way we teach is going to ​depend how we are going to 
evaluate them. 
 
Learn: I should say this verb in past participle form.
Real-life: I should say the determiner “the”, before real-life.
Realized: I should use this verb on present simple.
Depend: I should use a the preposition “on” after depend.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as aspect, ah, for example, amm, eh, so.
 
Thi  is  how  I  get  to  the  next  point  because  I  started  thinking  that  the  real  problem  it  was  the  tests 
that  we  applied,  for,  ​emm​,  to  evaluate.  I  thought  that  tests  are  not  useful  because  I  started  to 
consider  that  even  though  we  are  trying  to  apply  the  use  of  the  technology  ​to​,  to  evaluate  our 
students,  it  was  just  the  same,  ​amm​,  We  realized  that  applying  tests  with  technology,  we  were 
making  the  same  mistakes,  because  it  was  nothing  more  than  a  test  but  instead  of,  instead  of  a 
piece of paper it was in a computer, s​ o​ it was not a difference, and the problem was tests, for me. 
But  then  we  started  to  analyze  ​in  how  actually  tests  must  be  planned  ​and  it  involves  many  ​aspect 
that I consider that many teachers ​does​ not take into account.  
 
Aspect: The singular countable noun aspect follows the quantifier many, which requires a
plural noun.
Does: I should use “do” for the plural noun.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as ah, erm, amm, in, to, so.
 
 
If  we  say  that  during  the  course  we  were  preparing  our  students  ​to​,  to  give  an  oral  presentation. 
Well​,  we  must  know  that  we  can  not  give  them  just  a  test  in  which  they fulfill all the information 
of  all  the  theoretical  information  of  what  it’s needed for giving an oral presentation. ​Those ​aspects 
probably  they  will  succeed  the  test  and  that’s  not  enough,  because  we  also  need that they show to 
us  as  teachers,  that  they  know  how  to  give  an  oral  presentation,  not  just  how  to,  not  just  what  is 
need  to  give  an  oral  presentation,  it’s  how  they  can  apply  an oral presentation, how they are going 
to perform that knowledge that has been, ​amm​, has b ​ eing​ ​teached​ into, during the course.  
 
Being: I should use the correct form of the verb “been”.
Teached: I should use the correct past participle of the verb.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as erm, amm, to, well, those aspects.
 
So  going  back  to  the  point  of  tests,  ​well​,  we,  if  we  are  going  to  evaluate  with  a  test  as  I  just 
mentioned,  we  must  know  how  to  plane  ​what  is  going  to  come  to the​… What we are going to put 
on  this  test.  We  can  not  just  prepare exercises that they just fulfill and that’s all the test. They must 
have  context  and  have  a  real  and  useful  context.  They  must  know  how  to  use  what  they  are 
learning  during  the  class.  They  must  know  how  to  use  it when they are not in the class. Let’s say if 
students  are  learning  how  to  use  some  structures,  ​Well  in  the  test  we  must  make  them  to 
demonstrate  that  they  can  use  those  structures in formal and informal conversations. ​So that we as 
teachers know that they really understand what we try to teach them. What we are teaching them. 
 
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as the, erm, amm, to,what is going to come,
well, so.

 
So  amm​,  ​for  the  next  point,  I  must  say that I consider that evaluation it’s very affected, amm, with 
the  environment.  Because  it’s  different  on  each  country  this  process  of  evaluation,  because  of  the 
culture.  I  mean  in  our  culture we are not familiar with some aspects. For example that our teachers 
demonstrate.  I  mean,  demand  to  us  as  students  punctually  and  constancy,  because  we  are  not 
accustomed  that  they  ask  to  us  those  different  rules,  ​so  we  don't  know  how  to  accomplish  with 
those points that they expect that we fulfill. 

For: I should use the preposition “to” according with the context.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as amm, so.
 
So  we as students face ​to different problems. for example, as I just mentioned. Our teachers ​doesn’t 
used​… Don’t ​used​ to ask to us or demand to us some of those aspects.  
That’s  the  reason  why,  when  a  different  teacher  comes  and  tries  to demand those ​aspects when he 
tries  to  evaluate  with  a  different  way for example with a project, we don't know how to fulfill their 
expectations.  ​And  it's  a  ​really  problem  for  our  culture  because  it  affects  how,  how  students 
develop, different skills. 

Doesn’t: I should use “don’t” for the plural noun

Used; I should say “use” in present simple because of the helping verb “do”.
Really: I should use “real” because modifies “problem”.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as so, to, aspects, and.

Finally,  I  think  that  we  as  teachers  have  a  really  huge  responsibility  because  we  must  make  our 
students  be  aware  that  what  they  are  doing  right  now  it’s  affecting  them  for  the  future.  ​And  ​well 
firstly  as  teachers  ​also  must​.  We  must  be  aware  that  this  depends  ​of,  on  us.  On  how  we  teach  ​to 
them.  How  we  make  them  ​to  be  motivated  during  the  class,  during  the  course,  and  how  we 
manage  those  aspects,  how  we  make  them to understand ​and comprehend, ​and all those aspects of 
test ​and​ that ​also​ they can, a​ nd​ that they can enjoy during the process.  

Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as of, to, amm, also must, and, well, also.

So  well,  ​amm​,  for  me  the  whole  perspective  of  evaluation  has  ​change  ​for all my life. so I will never 
seen​ evaluation ​at​ the same way as I used to see the… that point. 
So I thank ​to my classmates because, we, we have been learning together during all this process, and 
I  need  to  say  that,  it  was  really  useful  to  work  with  them  because  as  we  learn  also  this  feedback  is 
very  important.  So  the  knowledge is not individual actually, we learn together and we comprehend 
together  much  better  than  maybe  I  could  comprehend  ​by  my  own.  ​So  I  thank  ​to  them  because, 
amm​, we realized ​of​ those aspects also together. So it was a good experience for me. 

Change: I should use this verb on past participle.

Seen: According with the context I should use the verb on its present simple form.
At: According with the context the preposition “in” should be more appropriate.
By: According with the context the preposition “on” should be more appropriate.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as so, amm, for, to
 
Comments: I realized that at the moment of producing ideas, I commit many mistakes. Also, I
don't reinforce my ideas with strong arguments and I tent to redound while trying to expressing
them. I have serious problems to express myself and what I'm trying to say. I know that's a
problem of vocabulary and the way I structure my ideas.
