| Title | Watch Your Students’ Language Skills Grow with LinguaFolio Online |
| Body | CASLS recently launched the newly redesigned LinguaFolio Online. The e-portfolio now has simpler navigation, quicker ways for students to capture and upload evidence, the ability for teachers to provide feedback on student work, and improved teacher report screens. The redesign includes accompanying mobile applications for both Android and iOS devices. Using the app, students can capture their use of the target language as it happens, both in and outside of the classroom. LinguaFolio Online is organized around the NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements, which encourage communicative proficiency. Teachers can assign Can-Do Statements to their classes, so that students understand what they will be able to accomplish at the end of each unit. Teachers can watch students grow, quickly and easily reviewing students’ work and providing individualized feedback. Students have the option of reviewing comments and proposing revisions. As students’ confidence in using the language grows, teachers can showcase students’ language abilities to parents and administrators – putting to rest the common misconception that students can’t communicate in a foreign language even after taking a class.
