We want our students to do more than crawl in the target language.
We want them to run.
ACTFL has identified speaking levels from basic crawling at the Novice level, to walking at the Intermediate level, and running at higher levels.
Do your students crawl, walk or run in the target language?

ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines – Speaking
Superior-level speakers :• Converse fully in formal and informal settings on topics related to personal, public, and professional/scholarly interests
Advanced-level speakers :• Converse in most informal and some formal settings on topics of personal and public interest
Intermediate-level speakers :• participate in simple, direct conversations on generally predictable topics related to daily activities and personal environment
Novice-level speakers:• respond to simple questions in memorized phrases and some personalized recombinations for a very limited number of immediate needs

Formative AssessmentThe process of students immediately moving forward from their present diagnosed learning to the expected learning goal. (Tuttle, 2010)

Focus on improvement
Not a grade

Our students become stuck in their speaking and cannot get out without our giving them new speaking strategies.
We offer our students a safety rope, formative assessment, to successfully climb up in their speaking.

Textbooks identify vocabulary topics but not language functions for the topics.
“I can” statements tell what function the student can do and how well.
Have you identified the language functions you want your students to do for each topic?

Until students speak in the target language, we are in total darkness as to their ability.
We need to monitor the students' speaking.
How many times each class do your students' speak in the target language?

Precise Language Goal:
Which Language Function?
Socialize (greetings)
Give information
Elaborate
Give opinions
Persuade
Compare
Maintain a conversation

We identify a topic and then a specific language function.
We give our students many classroom opportunities to speak in the target language.

We monitor their speaking.
We do not try to remember their speaking scores based on rubric, checklist or “I can” statements.
We do record their speaking in a spreadsheet to compare to future speaking for the same language function.
How often do you record data about your students' speaking?
