#LangChat is a weekly Twitter discussion among language teachers. Last week’s topic was interpersonal assessment, and it was a fast-and-intense conversation. Read a summary here: http://blog.calicospanish.com/2015/09/22/get-your-interpersonal-mode-on-langchat-discusses-the-ins-and-outs-of-assessment.html. The summary covers these questions:

• How much output should you correct during an interpersonal assessment?
• How do you manage interpersonal assessments with large classes?
• What role should the instructor play in an interpersonal assessment?
• What are some teachable communication strategies to help students sustain conversation?
• How can we be sure that we are truly measuring proficiency and not just performance?
