Let’s take a look at some samples


Plans with a new friend

• Interpretive Task• First, listen to the exchange student give information

about himself or herself. Circle the information you hear on the chart, then answer questions based on the information you hear.

• Interpersonal Task• Share this information with another classmate and

talk about your interests. Discuss what you have in common and decide on some plans.

• Presentational Task• Plan a weekend itinerary for you and your new friend

based on what you know he/she likes to do.• Adapted from Greenville County Schools, SC.


Time to have fun• Your school is organizing an exchange program to a

target language country. You will be spending a lot of time with the students at their school and want to know how you might spend your free time.

Interpretive Task• First, underline and categorize the leisure activities for

students in the target language country from that section in the newspaper, leisure guide, or school website.

• Adapted from Greenville County Schools, SC.


Interpersonal Task• With a partner, discuss what you do after school

where you live and if you will be able to do the same activities at the other school.

Presentational Task• Write an blog or voicethread comparing how

kids spend time after school in the United States and in the target language country.



Comparisons, Connections, Communities

Can-Do Statements

• make plans for free time activities.• read activity schedules in newspapers,

internet.• compare leisure activities in the target

culture community and in my community.



The Make-over of the Misnamed Mode


Waiter, there’s a __ in my soup

“My students write dialogues between themselves and the “Waiter” in the restaurant, and design their own menus. They made the menus based on samples from an internet site. Then they perform the dialogues they memorized. Isn’t this an Interpersonal task?”

No, authentic menus are great, but the “dialogue” is memorized, not spontaneous and unrefined.


It’s a riot to diet

“The students listened to a news show about a healthy diet and put the foods in categories of meats, dairy, fruit, veg, and grains. I was thinking this was presentational mode….is it?”

No, it is a good interpretive task that demonstratesinference, meaning making, and comprehension.


Let’s Go!

• “Ok, for the interpretive mode task, they listened to the train schedule and wrote down the departure time and track number they needed and what time they would arrive at the destination on their paper. They all had different places to go.

• For the interpersonal task, they asked their partner where they were going, when they were going to leave, and something else about the place.

• For the presentational mode task, they wrote a weekend sightseeing itinerary for their friend that was going to arrive in one week. What a way to review the verb to Go! Is this a good performance assessment?” YES!!
