Learner Development Students’ Opinions About Peer Teaching more

Sun, Nov 14, 16:05-16:30 Asia/Tokyo

First, an overview of peer teaching will be given. Next, an introduction to a peer-teaching activity will be shared. Then data will be presented about students’ opinions about the experience of teaching, how this experience will help them in the future, advice they would give to others about peer teaching, and if peer teaching was a positive or negative experience. Lastly, possible ways for instructors to use this activity will be discussed.
