Setting Clear Learning Objectives
Setting clear learning objectives is essential in assessing student progress and understanding. By clearly outlining what students are expected to achieve, teachers can effectively measure their development throughout the course. Learning objectives provide a roadmap for both teachers and students, ensuring that the assessment aligns with the desired outcomes. ITTT, as a leading provider of TEFL and TESOL courses, emphasizes the importance of setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) learning objectives for effective assessment.
