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.
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
- Concrete examples of the language that students produce at each level and sub level with suggestions for what they can do to move up a level or sub level.
