PLANNING CURRICULUM FOR LEARNING WORLD LANGUAGES

http://www.ecb.org/worldlanguageassessment/clover.htm

clever "clover" diagram

standards influence the curriculum, assessment, and instruction

three purposes of Communication (interpersonal, interpretive, and presentation) form the heart

Culture is always embedded in the instruction

Connections, Comparisons, and Communities enrich the learning activities

performance standards inform the assessments that show students

their progress toward higher levels of proficiency in using the target language

focus is on what students can do with the language they are learning

NOTE: See Making and Playing Games for suggestions of quiet puzzles that can be played by others while you assess single students.
