In order to demonstrate their proficiency in a language other than English, students will also present a portfolio of work in a chosen second language to a panel. The student portfolio must include approximately 25 artifacts which demonstrate “High Intermediate” proficiency in Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing; these may include:
LOTE Projects
Problem-Solving Exercises
Personal Reflections
Tests
Essays
Written or Performed Plays
Videotaped Interviews
PowerPoint Presentations
Travel Diaries
Students will present their portfolios to the panel, in English or the target language, and highlight one artifact for each language modality (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing). Students should also expect to answer questions on their work. Both ELA and LOTE presentations will be graded on a locally-created rubric aligned with ACTFL’s Presentational Proficiency Guidelines.
