Proficiency-Oriented Language Instruction and Assessment: A Curriculum Handbook for Teachers

Diane J. Tedick is the editor of The Minnesota Articulation Project, which has produced this wonderful resource for foreign language teachers.

The Handbook is comprised of classroom tasks and thematic units. Each task and unit appears in a standard format or template that stipulates the corresponding theme, standards, level, purpose, functions, language structures, cultural aspects, and modalities. These can be viewed at http://www.carla.umn.edu/articulation/polia_tasks.html

The Handbook has organized the tasks and units to correspond to a preliminary model of a curriculum framework based on a series of nine broad cultural themes including (1) Self, (2) Interpersonal Relationships, (3) Basic Needs, (4) Social Activities and Cultural Practices, (5) Leisure, (6) Education, (7) Responsibilities, (8) Cultural Identities, and (9) Cultural Contexts. Each theme and corresponding sub-themes can be incorporated into the language curriculum at every level of instruction so that a spiraling effect occurs.
