Workshop Presentation Summary
In this workshop, I will give an overview of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines by explaining the key criteria for the Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Superior levels. Then, I will demonstrate how the content of the Guidelines translate to development of proficiency in terms of levels in a program, grammar, in-class activities, corrective feedback, assessment, and textbook. In the hands-on section, participants will conduct textbook analysis, create activities to develop functional skills in the three communicative modes, and revise or develop assessment. Participants are encouraged to bring their current textbook and materials.
