Uncovering content and designing for performance.
Abstract
World language teaching continues to derive from coverage and low level skills, long after the Standards. Instructors and students are overwhelmed with what is taught rather than focusing on what true performance should look like in real world contexts. In light of ongoing research on assessment design practices, this paper outlines a design model that looks at cultural perspectives as sustained inquiry and the purpose for performance assessment evidence and skills.
