In this episode I’m taking on the question of leveling up. We often talk about proficiency levels and the output that goes along with each level. We’ll take a look at some concrete examples of language produced at each level and I’ll share some suggestions for how we can support students in leveling up their language.
Topics in This Episode:
- The ACTFL Proficiency Levels (Interpersonal)
- Novice Low/Mid/High: single words, chunks, chunked phrases.
- Intermediate Low/Mid/High: discrete sentences, strings of sentences, moving toward paragraphs
- Advanced Low/Mid/High: paragraphs, multiple paragraphs
