Taco Rubric Standards Based Grading. I am in love with this rubric!
I made it a few years ago after discovering the 'hamburger rubric' and modified it to have a Spanish flavor. What I love most is the positive feel of each indicator; rather than highlighting what a student doesn't know or being punitive in nature in terms of grading, it emphasizes the progress of a student's work and gives him/her a direction to shoot in. When a student brings me something they are working on, I can say 'hmmm, it looks like you've got a shell and maybe some meat in there, but we still need some cheese and lettuce.' or 'Wow! This is a great start, I can see you are in progress.
Proficiency Level Pyramid. I have never done a really good job of explaining proficiency levels to my students.
One of my goals this year was to make sure my kiddos understood the process of learning a language. Explaining Proficiency Levels to Students – Creative Language Class. This interactive activity by Sylvain F.
(a former JCPS French teacher) will clearly explain proficiency levels to your students. I generally use this during the first week of school and it really sets the tone for the goals of the class. It is all about what you CAN do in the language! Before class, print the cards. In level 1, you do not have to use the Intermediate Mid or High cards. In class introduce the daily goal to students. Create 4 groups of students or more if you use all the cards. Students follow the instructions on the card and write it on the paper. Spanish Proficiency Exercises. Spanish Proficiency Exercises is a compilation of brief video clips in which native speakers of Spanish from various locations throughout Latin America and Spain demonstrate various language tasks.
The objective of the exercises is to provide students of Spanish with the necessary tools to be able to talk about the same topics in Spanish. In order to do, this Spanish Proficiency Exercises contains five major components. First, there is a simplified video clip. This simplified version is scripted, the native speakers talks slower, and he or she uses simpler words and less slang. Second, there are video clips of native speakers who also perform the proficiency tasks. Third, to help perform the same task, we provide a Spanish/English glossary of vocabulary words that students may need in order to talk about the topic. Chill Pill: Things I've decided to relax about as a language teacher. This year has been a year of growth, without a doubt.
After the single most successful semester of my teaching career, I decided to start from scratch on almost everything. I blame iFLT. Since I'm also on an early college schedule, I only got a week or two to process a lot of really powerful, paradigm-shifting observations before school started back. It's left me without any solid framework this time around. Spanish Thematic Units.

5 ACTFL Interpret rubric ApdxF. CAPS – Foreign Language Educators of New Jersey. CAPS Rubrics Consortium for Assessing Performance Standards A New Jersey FLAP Grant Project By clicking on the links below you can access the rubrics that were created by the CAPS project.

Teaching Foreign Languages K-12 Workshop. Workshop 1.

Go to this unit. Workshop 2. Person to Person Focusing on interpersonal communication, session participants discuss how students use language to make themselves understood and to understand others. The session also explores how different teaching approaches encourage or discourage meaningful student interaction. Workshop 3. Workshop 4. Teaching Foreign Languages. Setting proficiency goals. Goal setting is a powerful tool. And there's research that setting goals not only increases student motivation but can also impact achievement. One of my goals is always speaking in the target language 90% or more during class. I measure that goal by timing myself. You know your students are getting the whole 90% target language goal when they freak out on you when you don't use the timer and the flag is flipped too long to English.
American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Preface The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines 2012—Speaking describe five major levels of proficiency: Distinguished, Superior, Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice. The description of each major level is representative of a specific range of abilities. Together these levels form a hierarchy in which each level subsumes all lower levels.
The major levels Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice are divided into High, Mid, and Low sublevels. The Guidelines describe the tasks that speakers can handle at each level, as well as the content, context, accuracy, and discourse types associated with tasks at each level. Easy AAPPL Rubrics. On Fridays We Write! (and some stuff about creating with language) – It's time to..GET YOUR SPANISH ON! Good Friday to you! Today I thought I would share with you our Friday routine, which has proven very powerful for my students this year and me, as well, with my 1 billion preps (it’s only six…but, SIX?!). Warning: I’m going to get through the boring stuff that probably isn’t new to you before I get to the interesting stuff! Every Friday is reflection/assessment day in my classes. The students keep notebooks in which they answer a reflection question and a few assessment questions. I have a fabulous list of reflection prompts generously provided by @ProfeAshley (Ashley Uyaguari).
The assessment questions vary depending on the topics we have covered during the week. This week, something interesting happened. Videos y Fotos for LA COMIDA unit. Teaching a unit about La Comida?
