Common Issues

​

Assessing target language proficiency in reading, speaking, listening, and writing can be challenging. Here are some common questions language instructor have when it comes to testing proficiency:

 

1. How would my students respond to being tested on non-course content?

2. Is there a way to blend course content with non-course content?

3. When during the semester should I assess proficiency?

4. For what reasons do I need to assess proficiency?

5. What do I do with the results of these assessments?

6. I have so many students; how can I be efficient, yet provide quality feedback to each?
