A Simple Way For Students to Understand Language Proficiency


Listen Later

#211

Do your students know exactly what they can do in the target language? If you asked them right now, could they tell you their current proficiency level and the specific skills they’re working toward? In my experience, when students understand the proficiency path, they take ownership of their progress in a very meaningful and personal way. In this episode, I share how I help students visualize and track their growth using a Path to Proficiency Wall and how you can do the same in your classroom.

Topics in this Episode: 

  • make  proficiency levels clear and student-friendly
  • how to use text type and functions to explain growth
  • design a Path to Proficiency Wall for your classroom
  • help students self-assess and set goals
  • use the wall to guide family and student conversations
  • how shift feedback toward leveling up instead of grades
  • See an example and get your own Proficiency Path 

A Few Ways We Can Work Together:

  • Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual Teachers
  • On-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language Departments
  • Self-Paced Program for For Language Departments
