Paradigm Shift: Instruction & Assessment

ACTFL World-Readiness Standards Language Proficiency

What? How long to achieve?

WHAT IS IPA?

Authentic: uses real-world tasksPerformance-Based: language and

cultural knowledge used in communicative asks

Based on 3 modes of communication: Interpretative, interpersonal, presentational

Integrated: communication used with other standard goal areas

Show developmental proficiency progress: novice, intermediate, advanced…

ACTFL Proficiency Levels

Foreign Service Institute Proficiency Scale

1 ILR Level 0 – No proficiency2 ILR Level 1 – Elementary proficiency

3 ILR Level 2 – Limited working proficiency4 ILR Level 3 – Professional working proficiency

5 ILR Level 4 – Full professional proficiency6 ILR Level 5 – Native or bilingual proficiency

The following ACTFL Proficiency Interview Ratings represent levels of expected performance for language learners who complete full-time intensive and/or immersion, proficiency-based languagetraining under the supervision of an instructor and 1-4 students.

How long does it take to become proficient?

SHIFT IN L2 INSTRUCTIONCHANGE IN ASSESSMENT IN L2

Shrum and Glisan (2010) describe a paradigm shift in assessment practices in the world language classroom. In the old paradigm, the purpose of assessment was simply to evaluate language learners and assign grades.

The new paradigm identifies multiple purposes of assessment:

To assess learner progress in proficiency To assess attainment of the National

Standards To guide and improve student

performance To evaluate and inform instruction and

program design To make a seamless connection

between instruction and assessment (p. 396)

Always keep in mind SLO (Student learning objectives) for both instruction and assessment

Formative and Summative Assessment

Formative: assessment FOR learning(quick/informal check for understanding)

Summative: assessment OF learning(formal measure of achievement of

instructional goals)http://carla.umn.edu/assessment/vac/WhyAssess/p_2.html

PLANNING AN IPA UNIT

Keep in mind the ultimate proficiency goals and objectives which are appropriate to the age and grade of the students.

https://www.tn.gov/education/instruction/academic-standards/world-language-standards.html

Remember, with regular FLES programs, a realistic goal is the novice level.

Use the ACTFL Can-Do statements in unit and lesson plans.

Always use cultural and language-appropriate resources.
