students, use the formative assessment process and reflect on or analyze student learning.

Reality!

TM®

Update on LF in NC9. By 2017, every language learner in our state’s public schools will have their own LinguaFolio® which can continue to be used in postsecondary education and the world of work as evidence of a graduate who is multilingual and a knowledgeable global citizen.

Just a rumor!

1.How does language education prepare students to be future ready?

2.How do language programs/courses connect to other content areas?

3.What are the implications for meeting the needs of all learners as related to language education?
