Hi everyone,

I'm a graduate student working on my teaching certification in Pennsylvania, and for one of our ongoing projects is that we are asked to consult with teachers and experts about an area of interest pertaining to assessment. For example, what are they doing in their own classrooms? Since I hope to be a foreign language teacher in the next few years, I thought I'd come here for some first hand information.

I know that these questions are a little vague, but if you have a moment to answer any of the following questions, I'd really appreciate your input. I'll be compiling some of the answers on a blog I write for school (which, at this time, only my professor follows), but I'm happy to leave your information out of the posting.

1. How are you creating authentic assessments?

2. Where do you see foreign language assessment heading?

3. What are some assessments that you think should be avoided in the foreign language classroom?

mcaddy Assessment is heading away from a focus on grammar and spelling, and toward a focus on communication. Can the student express herself in the target language and be understood? Integrated Performance Assessments have replaced fill-in-the-blank tests. You can find lots of good info on the ACTFL site.
