Document Summary
Keys to assessing language performance - chapter 3. Measuring student performance must start with identifying the target. For learning languages, the target is using a new language to interpret, exchange, and present information and ideas. In this way, the target identifies what students are expected to do as a result of teaching and learning. By designing backwards from standards to specific tasks, the teacher is developing a road map of learning targets for both teaching and learning. Gives direction to the unit and daily lesson plans and helps the students know what they are supposed to learn and why. 7 steps recommended for designing performance assessment tasks. Create a rich and engaging thematic focus. Effective assessment makes use of a thematic focus in the form of a specific real-world context (meaningful story) Identifying a thematic focus may begin with a topic provided in text materials or other available resources. Students are then asked to do something within the thematic focus.
