But most important, participation in class is the key to succeed in their French language acquisition.

Evaluative Criteria: Teacher utilizes student observation checklists, daily participation in independent, paired, and/or collaborative group tasks, quizzes and tests, oral/written performance-based assessments, integrated performance assessments targeting interpretive, interpersonal and presentational modes of communication, projects, and student self-assessments to monitor and evaluate the progress and achievement of the above stated proficiencies.
