Your post from April was really helpful, but if you have any more updates to write about regarding assessment, I'd love to hear about that. It'd be great if you were able to drop me a link. That part above about how "I have found a way to do both"... not so sure I'm feeling that anymore. senordineromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582859055718812885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242151457012185964.post-86656343687285593222017-02-06T18:35:35.019-08:002017-02-06T18:35:35.019-08:00Sounds like we're in a similar situation then!...Sounds like we're in a similar situation then! ;-)<br /><br />I love teaching to acquisition, but it seems like a lot more "vague" in terms of what to assess since:<br /><br />1. all kids acquire at different rates (even L1)<br /><br />2. kids might acquire different things at different times<br /><br />3. their not acquiring might not just be for lack of attention<br /><br />4. I've found that generally kids that read in L1 tend to pick up parts of the language faster than those who don't read in L1<br /><br />So my classes are more of a mess than ever, but we're having more fun and kids want to be in class longer and really isn't my exposing them to more of the language for longer more important than testing them over all the chapters so they can forget it all in a year or two anyways because it wasn't taught for long term?Reflections of a Spanish Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419428793670236299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5242151457012185964.post-18180242162460414152017-02-06T18:19:55.496-08:002017-02-06T18:19:55.496-08:00Great post!

I just don't know how to make a valid assessment based on acquisition. <br /><br />Keep up the good work!christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02786775627647086816noreply@blogger.com
