'I'd rather vomit up a live hedgehog' - L2 students and group assessment in mainstream university programs
|
|
|
|
Abstract:
Many of the L2 students enrolled in mainstream programs at tertiary institutions experience grave difficulties with English as a medium of instruction. Although group work appears to offer these students numerous benefits, the assessment of group work projects is proving to be a thorny issue. The student whose words gave rise to the title of this article had little doubt as to his feelings about group assessment (Zariski 1997), and it is clear from the literature that group assessment is a contentious issue. A major concern is that some students may be disadvantaged by an approach which is often perceived by students to be unfair. These comments appear to have particular relevance for L2 students who experience difficulty in interacting with their L1 peers, or where the latter feel that their academic standing might be jeopardised by the L2 students. This article explores the pitfalls that may be encountered when group assessment is used as means of evaluation, especially when the students involved are not all native speakers of English. Issues of cultural differences and their impact on group formation, and the problems surrounding free-loading in the group assessment process are discussed. It is argued that a clear distinction needs to be drawn between cooperative learning and group assessment, and that the implementation of the latter should be approached with caution, especially when L2 students are involved. ; 12 page(s)
