Listen "A Simple Way For Students to Understand Language Proficiency"
Episode Synopsis
#211Do your students know exactly what they can do in the target language? If you asked them right now, could they tell you their current proficiency level and the specific skills they’re working toward? In my experience, when students understand the proficiency path, they take ownership of their progress in a very meaningful and personal way. In this episode, I share how I help students visualize and track their growth using a Path to Proficiency Wall and how you can do the same in your classroom.Topics in this Episode: make proficiency levels clear and student-friendlyhow to use text type and functions to explain growthdesign a Path to Proficiency Wall for your classroomhelp students self-assess and set goalsuse the wall to guide family and student conversationshow shift feedback toward leveling up instead of gradesSee an example and get your own Proficiency Path A Few Ways We Can Work Together:Ready For Tomorrow Quick Win PD for Individual TeachersOn-Site or Virtual Workshops for Language DepartmentsSelf-Paced Program for For Language DepartmentsConnect With Me & The World Language Classroom Community:Website: wlclassrom.comInstagram: @wlclassroomFacebook Group: World Language ClassroomFacebook: /wlclassroomLinkedIn: Joshua CabralBluesky: /wlclassroom.bsky.sociaX (Twitter): @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomSend me a text and let me know your thoughts on this episode or the podcast.
