Alan Bloom's taxonomy (1956) is a classification system used to define and distinguish different levels of human cognition (thinking, learning, understanding). Teachers use Bloom's taxonomy to guide assessments, curriculum, and instructional methods.

Knowledge: Learner's ability to recall information

Comprehension: Learner's ability to understand information

Application: Learner's ability to use information in a new way

Analysis: Learner's ability to break down information into its essential parts

Synthesis: Learner's ability to create something new from different elements of information

Evaluation: Learner's ability to judge or criticize information

Alan Bloom's classic 1956 learning taxonomy was revised and refined by Lorin Anderson and David Krathwohl in 2000.

Remember: Learner's ability to recall information

Understand: Learner's ability to understand information

Apply: Learner's ability to use information in a new way

Analyze: Learner's ability to break down information into its essential parts

Evaluate: Learner's ability to judge or criticize information

Create/Design: Learner's ability to create something new from different elements of information

Theses updates reflect of a more active thought process and include three main changes:

Category names were revised from nouns to verbs.

The last two stages of Bloom's Taxonomy were switched so that evaluation (evaluating) comes before synthesis (creating).

The knowledge (remembering) category was updated to reflect four knowledge dimensions instead of three.

More specific to foreign language learning it is important to recognize that these skills are not a hierarchy, but are interrelated and dependent on each other to function most efficiently and effectively. Language creation is dependent on understanding, analyzing, evaluating and applying knowledge.

Here are questions to use when creating tasks, activities & assessments in the world language classroom using the updated Bloom's taxonomy categories:

Remember: Can the student recall or remember the information?

Understand: Can the student explain ideas or concepts?

Apply: Can the student use the information in a new way?

Analyze: Can the student distinguish between the different parts?

Evaluate: Can the student justify a stand or decision?

Create/Design: Can the student create or design a new product or point of view?
