- How to gauge student proficiency progress while ignoring biases. 
- Creating a base activity to find each student's starting level of proficiency. 
- I am having a difficult time finding research that doesn't support project-based learning or comprehensible input. 
- How do I track proficiency of students who are quiet or nervous to speak in class? 
- How can I get students to actively use their language skill in the classroom?
- What can make them motivated to speak more often?]]> 2019-05-16 22:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361000270 Questions: thancsak https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361013647 - What teaching approach is more effective in speaking proficiency?
- How can I track data for all levels without a standard group (because I do not have more than one hour of most sections of French)?
- How do I create a standard group? 
- Do I need to ask for consent to track student data when I am already required to do that for student growth goal information?
- Do I use speaking projects or assignments (such as formative assessments) to track student skills or do I track all student displays in the target language? ]]> 2019-05-16 23:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361013647 Notes: thancsak https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361014108 - Bill VanPatten has multiple texts referencing second language acquisition.
- Stephen Krashen has multiple texts referencing second language acquisition. 
- Most research is leading toward project-based learning or comprehensible input. ]]> 2019-05-16 23:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361014108 Literature Review Summaries thancsak https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361961823 2019-05-21 01:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361961823 ACTFL Proficiency Scale thancsak https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361967399 2019-05-21 02:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/361967399 Gass and Selinker SLA thancsak https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/363568419 2019-05-26 17:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/thancsak/8qj33rkuitjy/wish/363568419
