ABSTRACT
This unit focuses on teaching skills and competencies for performance appraisals. It shows teachers how they can identify key skills and competencies for participating in performance appraisals such as “Self-assessing one’s own work performance”, “Dealing with negative feedback”, and “Evaluating other employees’ performance”. Next, the unit moves on to setting learning objectives and designing lesson plans for teaching the identified skills and competencies. This is followed by a section on designing and selecting learning materials for teaching skills and competencies for performance appraisals in the workplace. The unit closes with activities and simulations aimed at assessing students’ learning. The unit also includes reflection activities for the reader to make links between the theories discussed in the chapter and their own pedagogical practices, and extension tasks based on video clips and extra materials on the main topics of the unit. This is complemented with cultural and technology notes, language corners, and insights from research, all related to the discussions in the unit, and an annotated bibliography at the end of the unit.
