Hola panas,
We discussed a lot of interesting and creative ways to assess students in our methods class that were outside of the traditional paper and pencil realm. One strategy would be to set up a series of learning stations that require the students to perform a particular function of the unit. Students would continue to go through the series of stations while the teacher assesses students one at a time in a final station that synthesizes content from all of the stations.
I don't know exactly how we would facilitate this assessment process, but the idea sounds pretty interesting and more useful for promoting proficiency and competency in foreign language. Any suggestions?

One thing that you could to is have different stations around the room where they are building their vocab and grammar on a particular topic. as they move around the room they are building for the end where they have to orally tell you a specified number of things they learned in espanol.
ResponderBorrarI have seen the elementary teachers using learning stations (kindergarten and 2nd grade) and was impressed at how well the little ones knew just what to do, where to go, and when to do it. It seemed to give them confidence and security. Also they were repeating processes, but learning new things each day.
ResponderBorrarI would think that the repetitive use of stations might be a good thing for learning a foreign language, giving that same security and confidence of knowing how things will roll, so the student could use their focus to learn the words. They say.....everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten.
