Title | CARLA Seeks Teachers to Pilot Interpersonal Tasks |
Body | CARLA is currently looking for teachers of French, German and Spanish to pilot interpersonal tasks with their students in order to learn how much and how well students can speak when engaged in a motivating task. The tasks target novice high and intermediate level students. Teachers will need to be able to record their students’ conversations when using the interpersonal task and then rate the level and amount of language the students produce using an easy rubric. Students will also complete a self-assessment prior to the tasks, enabling teachers to compare students’ self-perception of their spontaneous speaking ability to the results of the recorded interpersonal tasks. Pilots of the interpersonal tasks given to students at the University of Minnesota have shown that the tasks pique students’ interest and generate much more animated discussions than are typical in the classroom. The participating teachers have been amazed and delighted at the way these tasks motivate their students to reach for their highest levels of speaking abilities. For more information contact Ursula Lentz at: lentz003@umn.edu. |
