ABSTRACT:
In this workshop, we will explore fun and engaging strategies for continuous assessment in EFL classrooms. Participants will learn to design interactive assessments, including gamified quizzes, interactive questioning, and digital tools. Through hands-on activities, attendees will gain practical insights to implement these strategies effectively. By the end of the session, participants will have a toolkit of engaging assessment methods that promote active learning, encourage participation, and provide meaningful feedback.
