Text Anxiety Presentation

It is important to share experiences and knowledge among all Makassed teachers in order to develop and grow as an organization. For that reason, Miss Natasha Frank had a plan of having the Beirut English Language coordinators give presentations or workshops on a topic of their choice. Last week, we were the first school to present. Miss Rana Lawand and Miss Sahar Chaer gave a presentation titled" Test Anxiety” at Omar Bin Al Khattab College. Miss Natasha, the other Beirut coordinators, and the English Unit at Omar together with some teachers of various Makassed schools attended the presentation. The presentation identified test anxiety as an intense type of performance anxiety. The causes of test anxiety were discussed in details. Then, the different symptoms of test anxiety were presented. The second part of the presentation was dedicated to exploring ways in which a teacher can deal with a student who suffers from test anxiety. At the end of the presentation, the participants completed a true or false questionnaire to see if they have a case of test anxiety or not. The results were quiet interesting!
