On the 'Consecutive Interpreting' module, Jacqueline Page has been using an innovative method of providing feedback to her students. Each week, student interpretations are filmed by Jacqueline using a Flip video camera. Initial feedback is given to the student who has performed the interpretation during class. After class, students have the opportunity to review the clips of their peers in their individual blogs and then post constructive comments beneath them.
This method of peer review gives students further time to analyse their own and others' interpretations and to reflect on these in order to help them improve in future sessions. Both students and teacher have a convenient record of work done in class and a valuable learning tool.
Other staff in the modern languages and translation departments have quickly recognised the value of this as a means of providing feedback and now wish to explore its use elsewhere.
