  • SECottrell Oct 19 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1 I tend to move in a progression: Start heavy, heavy on interpretive, start sprinkling in interpersonal, presentational late #langchat
  • SraDentlinger - Moderator Oct 19 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    grading input Quarter 1 makes sense if that's the theory I am to follow in my teaching method #langchat

    Hola #langchat I'm Lacey from Carlsbad, SD. 1st time to the chat!
  • SraWilliams3 Oct 19 @ 8:07 PM EDT
    A1: as I get deeper into using CI strategies I do more & more interpretive esp @ lower lvls. Used to do tons of presentational #langchat
  • SraDentlinger - Moderator Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    #langchat A1 - I will also so the limited papers to grade helped me decide this was a good route to go ;)
  • rlgrandis Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A1: Depends on the level, Spa 1 has a lot more interpretive assessment. Presentational/Interpersonal is done on a #formative basis #langchat
  • tmsaue1 Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A1: depends on the context for a unit. Always interpretive. Sometimes interpersonal. Rarely presentational. #langchat
  • SageCreekASL Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A1: I try to assess all modes and it is determined by the pacing. There is always something at the end of a unit. #langchat
  • MlleSulewski Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    Generally follow IPA format: Interpretive, Interpersonal, Presentational #langchat
  • MmeCarbonneau Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    #langchat A1When I feel students have had enough input and formatives show they are ready!
  • Srta_Zeiner Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    A1 in novice I focus most on interpersonal and interpretive. Getting them speaking and listening right away is key! #langchat
    In reply to @CadenaSensei
  • SraDentlinger - Moderator Oct 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    #langchat confession time -interpersonal isn't one of the standards in my level 1/2 classes so I teach it but don't grade it!
    In reply to @SECottrell
  • Marishawkins Oct 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A1: I start w all 3 but make them attainable and adjust my rubrics #langchat
  • srtabrandt96 Oct 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A1 plan to be heavy on interpretive since students are most comfortable, intersperse interpersonal/presentational #Teach2Teach #langchat
  • SraWilliams3 Oct 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT
    A1b: I try to keep presentational low stress & mostly to measure growth rather than huge test grade. Not very good @ interpersonal #langchat
  • MlleSulewski Oct 19 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    And there goes the mod forgetting the rules! A1 #langchat
  • Marishawkins Oct 19 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1: But I also don't stress if I can't fit one mode into a unit #langchat
  • CadenaSensei Oct 19 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    #langchat
    • ElSenorCrane Oct 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT
      Input leads to output, so I say interpretive then either intpersonal or presentational
      In reply to @CadenaSensei
  • MmeCarbonneau Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1 #langchat All modes, but presentational RARELY
  • magistertalley Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1 So far this year I have assessed interpersonal L&R basic presentational S&W (essentially pronunciation and spelling). #langchat
  • drpelearn Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    #langchat A1: depends on what I'm doing in class.
  • SECottrell Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    A1 by year 3 is when I tend to have one element of each mode in each major assessment, of which there are 5-9 in a year #langchat
    In reply to @SraDentlinger
  • SraDentlinger - Moderator Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    Do you only assess one mode per unit or do you get in all 3 each unit? #langchat
    In reply to @SageCreekASL
  • Marishawkins Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    Interesting! While I understand views on forced output when I assessed speaking sts became more confident 2 talk outside of class #langchat

  • SraDentlinger - Moderator Oct 19 @ 8:11 PM EDT
    This is what I do if in an IPA format (which is rare these days) #langchat
  • tmsaue1 Oct 19 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    Yes. Forcing a mode just for mode sake will always feel “wrong” to the learners. #langchat
  • magistertalley Oct 19 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1 I haven't done formal interpersonal assessments. I decide when to assess based on school calendar. #langchat
  • SraDentlinger - Moderator Oct 19 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    My students are confident outputters... until it's graded #langchat
    In reply to @Marishawkins, @SECottrell
  • MmeCarbonneau Oct 19 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1 #langchat Every unit has an IPA of some sort, with several extra interpesonals and interpretives.
  • SraChiles Oct 19 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    A1 Same- my pattern is comprehension & input->messy, imprecise interpersonal comm ->more polished (but not perfect) presentational #langchat
    • SECottrell Oct 19 @ 8:07 PM EDT
      A1 I tend to move in a progression: Start heavy, heavy on interpretive, start sprinkling in interpersonal, presentational late #langchat
  • rlgrandis Oct 19 @ 8:13 PM EDT
    Mine are that way too...so sometimes I don't tell them it's going to be graded...Is that wrong? I always feel mixed about it! #langchat
    In reply to @SraDentlinger, @Marishawkins, @SECottrell
  • joyeuse212 Oct 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1: Depends on the ebb & flow of the class when the timing is right. More interpretive & interpers. first. Presentational last. #langchat
  • tmsaue1 Oct 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Ah. Yes. Not all output is the same. #langchat
    In reply to @SraDentlinger, @Marishawkins, @SECottrell
  • SageCreekASL Oct 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A1: If you are testing all modes on a final how many times does a student need to practice that skill with feedback? #langchat
  • Marishawkins Oct 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    What if you let them pick the one you assessed? So give them a variety then let them choose their favorite? #langchat

  • CadenaSensei Oct 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    Q2 Q2 Q2 #langchat What elements are most important for you in a performance rubric?
  • SECottrell Oct 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1 COMPREHENSIBILITY. #langchat
  • VTracy7 Oct 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    A1: Formative try to assess a little of all. Summative: Mostly Interpretive w/some presentational writing. Interpersonal kills me #langchat
  • rlgrandis Oct 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    I like that idea &think it would depend on the assessment. I'd have to be careful that it's fair & wouldn't make grading harder. #langchat
    In reply to @Marishawkins, @SraDentlinger, @SECottrell
  • ElSenorCrane Oct 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT
    Can't say then for intpersonal vs prsnttnl, but I'd be curious about having written piece 2nd and spoken 3rd. #langchat

    A2: Also after comprehensibility, how students use vocab- so they aren't as repetitive #langchat
  • SageCreekASL Oct 19 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2: Isn't it all important? Comprehensibility. Without understanding communication isn't happening. #langchat
  • rlgrandis Oct 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    A2: Comprehensibility and elaboration. #langchat
  • MlleSulewski Oct 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT

  • drpelearn Oct 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    #langchat A2: I don't really use rubrics; but I also think that what is being said must be understandable.
  • tmsaue1 Oct 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    To me feedback is the real purpose of a rubric. Sadly few accomplish that. #langchat
  • Meganclaire87 Oct 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    A2 variety of language. sometimes I ban the words bueno/interesante/ bonito to force kids to use other vocabulary #langchat
  • MmeCarbonneau Oct 19 @ 8:19 PM EDT
    A2 #langchat feedback that tells them where they are, where they need to be and how to close the gaps.

  • magistertalley Oct 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A2 Specific and clear communication. Ss and stakeholders should know what the "grade" means and how to move up the rubric. #langchat
