The main aim is to develop students' language skills in a collaborative environment, with an emphasis on production, critical analysis and receiving constructive feedback.
Improving language skills - Students progress by actively practicing the language and analyzing their peers' productions.
Developing critical thinking skills - Students learn to analyze and evaluate language use objectively.
Exposure to different styles and levels of language - Students are exposed to different ways of using language through the productions of their peers.
Confidence-building - Regular practice and constructive feedback help build confidence in language use.
Collaborative learning - Students learn from each other through the peer review process.
Development of self-assessment skills - Students learn to identify their own linguistic strengths and weaknesses.

Choose the evaluation method that suits you best.
You can use a "simple" activity or add additional deposit or evaluation phases.
Why not use our AI assistant to guide students in their feedback. The assistant can give them elements to improve their feedback and make it more constructive.
⬜ Define clear criteria - Provide detailed evaluation rubrics to guide students in their linguistic analysis.
⬜ Vary the types of production - Include different types of language tasks (written, spoken, formal, informal) to cover a wide range of skills.
⬜ Encourage the use of language tools - Familiarize students with dictionaries, grammar-checking tools and other language resources.
⬜ Promote metalinguistic thinking - Encourage students to reflect on linguistic structures and language choices.
⬜ Incorporate error correction activities - Include exercises where students must identify and correct common errors.
⬜ Facilitate language exchange - Organize collaborative conversation or writing sessions to practice the language in an authentic context.
⬜ Use authentic resources - Incorporate authentic materials (articles, podcasts, videos) to expose students to the language as it is actually used.
⬜ Track progress - Set up a system to track the evolution of students' language skills over time.
ChallengeMe offers clear and precise evaluation criteria that you can customize. What's more, the anonymity of assessments and the possibility of having several assessors per job help ensure fairness.
We also recommend preparing the students, explaining the objectives, and even co-constructing the criterion grid with them, taking examples from previous work.
Absolutely, group work is possible, both in the response phase (submitting a file as a group, for example) and in the evaluation phase (students must agree on feedback and evaluations).
We have a wide range of content available. On the platform, students are guided through the activity with tips for giving relevant feedback. We also provide teachers with documents they can use to present the activity to students.
The choice is yours! You can set up a formative system only (no grades, only feedback), or build a grade with weighting on criteria, bonuses/maluses according to certain events (lateness, for example), or even weight the peer assessment grade with the teacher's grade.
We work with over 90 schools in France, Switzerland, Belgium and Quebec. On our website, you'll find feedback from other schools on our activities.
