- Proficiency is likePizza You start eating at the point of the
pizza and theres really not much there. As you eat more there is
more and more cheese (and toppings*) for you to eat, until finally
you get to the crust and not everyone eats that. *All people dont
eat the same toppings.
- Slide 28
- Slide 29
- Proficiency is likePizza You start eating at the point of the
pizza and theres really not much there. When you start learning a
language theres very little you can do with the language because
theres not much there.
- Slide 30
- Proficiency is likePizza The farther up the pizza slice you
eat, the more there is to eat. The more language you learn, the
more you can do with the language.
- Slide 31
- Proficiency is likePizza Some people eat the crust and some
dont. Some people speak language at the superior level, and some
never achieve that (even in their native language).
- Slide 32
- Proficiency is likePizza Some people eat a cheese pizza, others
eat pepperoni, while others eat only veggies, and thats ok. When it
comes to learning a language, not everyone learns the same
vocabulary, and thats ok, too.

Language in Context Workbook, Elizabeth Rieken, Heinle & Heinle
Publishers, 1993 Whats going on in the sample? Writer can use
simple simple structure and familiar vocabulary to express basis
autobiographical information Sentences are short; consist mainly of
memorized material that writer cannot use creatively yet No attempt
to connect sentences to create more cohesion Writing has a number
of inaccuracies
- Slide 36
- Proficiency Levels - Intermediate I can use words and
expressions from topics related to daily activities and personal
environment. use simple sentences and strings/series of sentences,
mostly in present tense with occasional past and future usage when
I: participate in a conversation ask and answer questions
participate in a transactional situation (ex. ordering food, buying
clothes, getting tickets) easily be understood by someone
accustomed to a language learner.

- Intermediate Writing Sample The task was to write about what
the student would do if he or she were the parent of a student who
was in trouble at school for fighting and lying. If I am the
parentfirst thing I dont get madbecause the boys 5 or 6 years old
is not a crazy. he just want a fun. I try to find out the answer.
Why he make that story and tell him you mabe that story is wrong.
You cant do that again. Taken from Teaching Language in Context
Workbook, Elizabeth Rieken, Heinle & Heinle Publishers, 1993
Whats going on in the sample? Some evidence of conscious
organization but little cohesion Writer has gone beyond memorized
material, creating sentences to form a simple narrative Present
tense not fully controlled; past tense beginning to emerge
Vocabulary is limited and many syntactic errors Native speaker used
to dealing with foreigners could get the gist
