Jackie Foster
Vancouver Island University
I currently work in an English language center at Vancouver Island University, which is located on the west coast of Canada. I teach ESL students who are mainly university bound and interested in EAP (English for Academic Purposes) courses. I have taught adult ESL learners from beginning to advanced levels and adult EFL learners at an overseas college.
Sessions
The Text Highlight Tool: Feedback with Colour
In this practice-oriented session, participants will learn how the text highlight tool, a feature in word processing programs, can serve as a low-tech option for corrective feedback in the online classroom. The use of this tool can enhance corrective feedback by using colour to highlight grammar, vocabulary, and mechanical errors. The presenter will use student samples to illustrate three ways that highlighting with colour can be applied to ESL or EFL student paragraphs.
