ACTFL Performance Guidelines
• Comprehensibility (How well is the student understood?)
• Comprehension (How well does the student understand?)
• Language Control (How accurate is the student’s language?)
• Vocabulary (How extensive and applicable is the student’s vocabulary?)
• Cultural Awareness (How is the student’s cultural knowledge reflected in language use?)
• Communication Strategies (How does the student maintain communication?)
Essential Standards for
World Languages
The Essential Standards are written to define
what students should be able to do with
their language (based on ACTFL proficiency
levels):
– Novice (Low, Mid, High)
– Intermediate (Low, Mid, High)
– Advanced (Low, Mid)
3 Strands in the WLES
CLL Connections to Language &
Literacy
COD Connections to Other Disciplines
CMT Communities
4 Essential Standards
1. Use the language to engage in interpersonal communication. (Interpersonal Mode)
2. Understand words and concepts presented in the language. (Interpretive Mode)
3. Use the language to present information to an audience. (Presentational Mode)
4. Compare the students’ culture and the target culture. (Culture)
Three Modes of Communication
Interpersonal: Person-to-Person
• Initiate, maintain, sustain conversation (oral or written)
• Active negotiation of meaning
Interpretive: Viewing, Listening & Reading
• Interpret and respond to received messages
• NO active negotiation of meaning with writer or speaker
Presentational: Speaking & Writing
• Create, revise, and practice oral or written messages
• NO direct opportunity for active negotiation
Activity: Mode Sort
1. Read the Mode Sort slips
with your table group.
2. Sort them using this chart:

Individual Proficiency Analysis
Use the LinguaFolio grid
on the last page of the
Passport to self-assess
your proficiency in a
language you have
studied.
TM ®
Individual Proficiency Analysis
1. Read the ‘I can’ statements in each skill’s
row from Novice Low through Superior.
2. Circle the ‘I can’ at the highest level you
could demonstrate for that skill.
3. Reflect using these questions:
a. Which communication mode is strongest or at
the highest level of proficiency for you?
b. Which communication mode is at the lowest level
of proficiency for you?
c. Why is this the case? How could you change it?

How would you decide what to include in
your Dossier?
How did you feel upon completing the
checklist for Presentational Writing?
How would you introduce portions of
LinguaFolio in your class?
When would be a good time to introduce

Still one
of my
goals
1. I can provide an overview of
LinguaFolio and its impact as a
formative assessment tool.
2. I can discuss how I might use
LinguaFolio to inform my development
as a lifelong language learner.
Scaffolding Learning
• Focus on purposeful
communication that will be
relevant by being:
– Cognitively engaging
– Intrinsically interesting
– Culturally connected
• Stretch students’
language use towards
next level

Building Proficiency
Communicative Contexts for Transfer
– Whole-language approach (Adair-Hauck and Cumo-Johanssen, 1997)
– Natural conversation focus (Toth, 2004)
– Thematic center to support comprehension (Curtain and Dahlberg, 2004)
– Real world, ambiguous challenges (Wiggins and McTighe, 2005)
10/9/2013 • page 49
Building Proficiency
Supporting Communication Skills
– Difficulty comes from learning tasks, not textbook (Terry, 1998)
– Use of authentic texts and other media (Villegas Rogers and Medley, 1988; and Shrum and Glisan, 2005)
– More comprehension with authentic texts rather
than simplified ones (Young, 1993 and 1999; Vigil, 1987)
– Viewing helps students learn grammar, advanced-
level proficiency skills and cultural information (Ramsay, 1991; Rifkin, 2000; Herron, Corrie, Cole, & Dubreil,
1999)

ACTFL and the Common Core
http://www.actfl.org/files/Aligning_CCSS_Language_Standards_v6.pdf
Common Core and
Essential Standards
• Our Essential Standards describe the
content and proficiency expectations for all
World Language Programs. This is what we
are expected to teach and assess.
• Our Essential Standards overlap with the
Common Core Standards for Literacy, but
not based on the students’ age or grade
level. It is based on their proficiency level.
65
Common Core Literacy
and World Languages
Foundational Skills for English are not the
same, but for all other Speaking, Listening,
Reading and Writing Skills, we overlap:
Novice-Low/Mid = Kindergarten/some 1st
Grade
Novice High = 1st Grade/some 2nd Grade
Intermediate Low = 2nd and 3rd Grade
Intermediate Mid = 4th Grade/some 5th grade
Intermediate High+ = 6th grade +
66
Common Core: ARGUMENTATION
in K-12 World Languages
Novice-Low/Mid = Use a combination of
drawing and writing to compose
opinion pieces in which they state an
opinion or preference and may supply
a reason for the opinion.
Novice High = Write opinion pieces in
which they state an opinion, supply
reasons for the opinion, and provide
some sense of closure.

Hands-On Workshop Time Handout: Creating Can-do Statements for
LinguaFolio-like Activities
You will need chart paper and markers for this activity!
With a partner, create an activity for one of the
topics on the handout.
Develop 4-5 Can-do statements to help your
students assess what they can do with the
language after completing the activity.
Be prepared to share with the group!
What authentic materials do you use with your students for interpretive tasks?
At your table – brainstorm as many resources, websites, tools as you can. Be prepared to share with the group!

Party Chatter You will be attending a party with guests from many
different cultures. The etiquette sheet defines the role that you will play as you make small talk at the party.
• Study your etiquette sheet very carefully, but keep it secret from everyone!
• Organize into groups of four to six party-goers.
• One group will act as observers to bounce between the parties. (Mara will choose this group!)
• The observers will look for behaviors indicating frustration or special efforts participants make to understand the “rules” of communication.
Do you agree or disagree with each
statement?
Use examples of your experiences from the Chatter game and from real life to support your opinions.
•There is more to a conversation than just the words and sentences.
•We tend to judge other people based on what we think is “normal.”
•Behaviors that we consider to be bizarre or rude may be acceptable or polite in other cultures.
•Sometimes you may feel negative about another person because his or her conversational style seems strange.
•After time, people get used to unusual behaviors and begin paying more attention to the topic of the conversation.
The national World Languages standards (ACTFL – American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) identify three key elements for teaching the goal area of Cultures:
A.Art, literature, and music B.Products, practices, and perspectives C.Who, what, and why D.Economic systems, philosophy/religion, and social
customs
In the following description of a cultural phenomenon in the U.S., identify which item is the cultural perspective, as described in the standards:
A.In the U.S., food labels have to identify calories and nutrition information
B.Many people go on crash diets and pay to join a weight-loss program
C.Americans tend to value youth over old age, some would call it an obsession
D.Restaurants are starting to include more fish and low-carb menu options
All of the following are examples of products of Cultures, as described in the standards, except:
A. Typical breakfast foods
B. Laws
C. Greetings
D. Music
All of the following are examples of practices of Cultures, as described in the standards, except:
A. Eating utensils
B. Patterns of social interaction
C. Paying a set price or bartering
D. Rites of passage, such as entering school, obtaining driving license, graduation, getting married
Teaching of cultures is strengthened when students read, listen to, or view “authentic materials,” which are defined as:
A. Written and oral communications produced by members of a language and culture group for members of the same language and culture group
B. Magazine and online articles, restaurant menus, poems, radio and TV shows
C. Language in real use, “reflecting the details of everyday life in a culture as well as its societal values”
D. All of the above
Of the following, the least effective way to teach culture is:
A.Students experience and explore the culture B.Integrated with the practice and development of
communication C.Connected with a thematic focus D.Isolated cultural topics in specific mini-lessons
Like an iceberg, the majority of culture is found below the surface. In this metaphor for culture, examples of the deep culture that is below the surface are:
A. Food, flags, and festivals
B. Personal space, concept of cleanliness, and attitudes toward children or elderly family members
C. Literature, visual arts, theater, and music
D. Body language, dress, and vocabulary
Language reflects the culture of those who speak it.
Culture is the context within which communication occurs.
Language proficiency is linked to cultural awareness and understanding.
