Subject: Personal Vocab List
"I've been using something similar with my upper-intermediate and
advanced teacher trainees for the last few years. I ask them to analyse their marked assignments and with the help of (electronic) dictionaries compile lists of words in context, idioms, collocations, word families etc. based on their personal problem areas.
For grammar problems we also use 'Personal Grammar Books'. Based on teacher feedback the students identify their personal grammar problems and do remedial work using online grammar books. Part of continuous assessment is to submit their 'Personal Dictionaries' and 'Personal Grammar Books' as electronic Word documents. For the grammar part they are expected to briefly explain their grammar problems and provide me with the links (and scores) of online activities they do autonomously.
In some semesters the dictionaries and grammar books are also the basis for oral 'exams' which are more or less discussions of their autonomous grammar and vocab work.
