Many teachers may feel they lack the technical skills or resources required to design a high-quality online course. This workshop will show participants how to create a simple, free, and effective asynchronous course using the website and app "Edmodo". It will first demonstrate how to set up a course, register students, and share course materials. It will then explain how to create, share, receive, grade, and provide feedback on student assignments and quizzes. Finally, methods to encourage both teacher-to-student and student-to-student interaction in an asynchronous course using Edmodo will also be shared.

This study examines scores of the IELTS and TOEIC (L&R and S&W) and investigates test-taker reactions to the tests. The IELTS, TOEIC, and a questionnaire were administered to 84 university students, and interviews were conducted. The test scores were analyzed for descriptive statistics and correlations, and the questionnaire and interview results were examined with special attention to the speaking and writing tests, the formats of which are different for the IELTS and TOEIC.
