Articulated Assessment Transfer Tasks
The DesignSpace contains assessment exemplars articulated across three levels of learner engagement. Each level contains tasks in the three modes of communication–Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational. The three tasks align a deliverable with an overarching context and for a specific audience, reflecting the manner in which we use the language in the real world. All three levels can solve the novel problem posed in the context and create the product or deliverable, according to their level of engagement.
This DesignSpace gives instructors the flexibility to design across any three target levels of learner engagement K-16. All World Language teachers are welcome to join and design.
