SHIFT IN L2 INSTRUCTIONCHANGE IN ASSESSMENT IN L2

Shrum and Glisan (2010) describe a paradigm shift in assessment practices in the world language classroom. In the old paradigm, the purpose of assessment was simply to evaluate language learners and assign grades.

The new paradigm identifies multiple purposes of assessment:

To assess learner progress in proficiency

To assess attainment of the National Standards

To guide and improve student performance

To evaluate and inform instruction and program design

To make a seamless connection between instruction and assessment (p. 396)

Traditional vs Integrated Performance-Based Assessment (IPA)

Traditional IPA

IPA evaluates students’ use of language in the three modes of communication. (carla.com)

WHAT IS IPA?

Authentic: uses real-world tasksPerformance-Based: language and

cultural knowledge used in communicative asks

Based on 3 modes of communication: Interpretative, interpersonal, presentational

Integrated: communication used with other standard goal areas

Show developmental proficiency progress: novice, intermediate, advanced…
