When learning something, it is of paramount importance to evaluate our progress during the several steps involved inthe process. Providing an assessment environment helps our students to reflect constantly about their performanceand the things they should avoid or do as to attain better results. It is also a necessary activity for helping them tolearn effectively the English language. As they become aware of the possibilities that offers using a tool allowingthem to assess their learning and performance, their proficiency, monitored in this type of environment, shapes theexpected results.This article presents an experience based on the use of an assessment chart provided to students to help themassessing themselves when learning the English language. Professors involved in the application of the chart referredto the changes occurred in the students´ performance and their awareness about certain elements that they were notable to identify and control previously to the implementation of the chart. After that, they considered them as of greatimportance for evaluating their performance when learning the English language both as learners and as professors tobe.

The authors have developed a cellular phone application called ProBoPortable that displays information regarding the progress and achievement of tasks and division of labor in project-based learning (PBL) for higher education. ProBoPortable works as wallpaper on the screen of the learner’s cellular phone, and it cooperates with Web-based groupware. When a learner activates his/her phone, ProBoPortable immediately retrieves the current status of the appropriate project from the groupware database and displays it on the screen. A classroom evaluation was performed in an undergraduate course; the evaluation confirmed that ProBoPortable enhanced mutual awareness of the division of labor among learners, who modified their own tasks by monitoring the overall status of the PBL. Using ProBoPortable increasingly fostered the sense of a learning community among the subjects. Moreover, social facilitation encouraged the learners to proceed with their own task due to the presence of others who are mutually aware of each member’s status.


The article deals with the methodological issue of building soft skills in the context of teaching modern foreign languages to students of higher institutions. The analysis of the available scientific and methodological research works devoted to the problem of developing students’ soft skills, especially in the process of teaching foreign languages, reveals that even though soft skills are crucial for securing employment of graduates they are still underdeveloped in the system of higher education, which results in a growing need for institutions of higher education to address the defined gap. The paper suggests some ways capable of bridging the gap and fostering the development of personal and interpersonal XXI century skills in the process of teaching foreign languages. It focuses on intra-curricular approaches to classroom management (e.g., pairing or grouping students) and methods and content of classroom activities (case study, debates, discussions, project-based learning, etc.), which have the potential to equip students with the core skills through real-life scenarios and different learning experiences. The author emphasizes that speaking and listening activities, being undoubtedly highly beneficial for soft skills development, are not the only ones that can be used to enhance learners’ soft skills. Students’ soft skills can be significantly improved while reading or writing, so the key point is to organically integrate diverse activities and teaching strategies. Therefore, before planning a class, teachers have to understand how soft skills are developed, choose what soft skills they want their students to learn, and select corresponding instructional methods and tools to model a situation in which soft skills could be naturally acquired. Particular emphasis is also placed on the question of how and what soft skills can be developed during self-assessment or peer-assessment practices. The article finishes with a few recommendations regarding possible aspects of further research.

This project outlines a design for, and presents an evaluation and validation of, an information and communication technology (ICT) training course on an initial teacher education programme for pre-service music teachers at a Spanish University. The primary objective was to improve initial teacher education in music technology through a course design with two key components: (1) constructivist learning through collaborative projects (PBL) and (2) the technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) integration framework. The course saw students carry out four real-life projects, three of which involved the elaboration of educational material through the exclusive use of musical technology, and one of which involved an ICT research project. Results were obtained through an end-product evaluation and a self-assessment questionnaire and indicated that the course was well received and highly valued by the participants. In their self-assessment responses, students spoke of the academic value of the course, a confidence in their own skills, their willingness to use ICTs in future teaching contexts, the importance of ICTs in their degree programme, the fact that the course surpassed their expectations in terms of achievement (a fact corroborated through data triangulation in the end-product evaluation) and the transferability of the knowledge acquired to the music classroom. Finally, they provided suggestions for potential improvements to the course.

In some high school learning environments, hundreds of students engage in collaborative, term-long, project-based learning STEM or STEAM units of work. In this chapter, the authors report on an ongoing design-based research project in which researchers and teachers collaborate to design, teach, and assess STEAM units of work. They draw on research on project-based learning and interdisciplinary collaboration to inform the analysis drawing on Jonassen's typology of problem solving. The purpose of this chapter is to present two tools that functioned as boundary objects mediating learning and self-assessment: (1) a ‘STEAM slider' used by students in groups to reach consensus on the use of the tools, knowledge, and processes employed in their project and (2) a criteria sheet developed to mediate students' and teachers' engagement in self- and teacher-assessment. The authors use these results to make recommendations for the next iteration of the project.
