Title: ACTFL Modes of Communication
Body:
by Carla Consolini, UO Graduate Student
This activity was created for learners of all proficiency levels, and we recommend that it be conducted in the L1. The activity provides learners with the opportunity to explore and understand the ACTFL modes of communication.
Learning Outcomes:
Learners will be able to:
- Identify the ACTFL modes of communication across different examples
- Identify some skills that are related to each mode of communication
- Brainstorms examples from their own lives of engagement in each of the modes
Mode(s): Interpretive, Presentational
Materials: ACTFL modes of communication video, examples handout, and brainstorm handout
Procedure:
- In pairs or groups of three, learners will consider examples of different instances of communication from the examples handout and decide how communication is achieved in each example (e.g., which of the ACTFL modes are at play) and think of related skills.
- Learners will watch the ACTFL modes of communication video.
- In their groups, learners will consider whether they need to revise their answers from Step 1 based on the video.
- Next, learners will brainstorm 1-2 examples of each mode of communication from their daily lives using the brainstorm handout.
- To close, debrief as a class about learners' favorite examples.
Notes:
- It is important to mention to students that the images in Step 1 are imperfect representations of communication since they are static images.
