What is Proficiency-Oriented Instruction?
![Page 4: Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency- Oriented Classroom · Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency-Oriented Classroom ... Teaching Language in Context. ...

Ideally, language use in a proficiency-oriented classroom… …is contextualized. …is authentic. …moves from meaningful, structured (“monitored”)
practice to more open-ended communication. …is centered on a topic that is familiar and interesting to
students, or is personalized. …involves discourse beyond the sentence level. …is “intersentential” (sentences in an activity are
related, not isolated).

Hypothesis 1. Opportunities must be provided for students to practice using language in a range of contexts likely to be encountered in the target culture. Corollary 1. Students should be encouraged to express
their own meaning as early as possible after productive skills have been introduced in the course of instruction.
Corollary 2. Opportunities must be provided for active communicative interaction among students.
Corollary 3. Creative language practice (as opposed to exclusively manipulative or convergent practice) must be encouraged in the proficiency-oriented classroom.
Corollary 4. Authentic language should be used in instruction wherever possible.

Hypothesis 2. Opportunities should be provided for students to practice carrying out a range of functions (tasks) likely to be necessary in dealing with others in the target culture.
Hypothesis 3. The development of accuracy should be encouraged in proficiency-oriented instruction. As learners produce language, various forms of instruction and evaluative feedback can be useful in facilitating the progression of their skills toward more precise and coherent language use.

Hypothesis 4. Instruction should be responsive to the affective as well as the cognitive needs of students, and their different personalities, preferences, and learning styles should be taken into account.
Hypothesis 5. Cultural understanding must be promoted in various ways so that students are sensitive to other cultures and are prepared to live more harmoniously in the target-language community.

Session ObjectivesParticipants will be able to:Identify and describe strategies for
delivering comprehensible input in the target language.

Do you know the answer?
As per ACTFL recommendation, during what percentage of instructional time should instructors and students use the target language?
![Page 16: Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency- Oriented Classroom · Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency-Oriented Classroom ... Teaching Language in Context. ... Summary of textbook/ancillary](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae474587f8b9a595d8fced2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The ACTFL Position Statement on the Use of the Target Language in the Classroom (2010)
“ACTFL therefore recommends that language educators and their students use the target language as exclusively as possible (90% plus) at all levels of instruction during instructional time and, when feasible, beyond the classroom.”
![Page 17: Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency- Oriented Classroom · Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency-Oriented Classroom ... Teaching Language in Context. ... Summary of textbook/ancillary](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae474587f8b9a595d8fced2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Discussion How do you measure up
with regard to ACTFL’s recommendation? What percentage of instructional time is conducted in the target language in your classroom?
Is the 90% plus goal consistent with a proficiency-oriented approach to language instruction? Why/why not?
![Page 18: Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency- Oriented Classroom · Ideal Language Use in the Proficiency-Oriented Classroom ... Teaching Language in Context. ...

Brainstorm What strategies contribute
to use of the target language in the classroom (by the instructor and students)?

Strategies: Comprehensible Input Know your audience! Provide a meaningful and purposeful context Modify/simplify language use (paraphrase, slow down,
repeat, use familiar structures and key words, modulate tone and volume)
Nonverbal communication (facial expressions, gestures, visuals, props)
“Prime the pump” by assigning “pre” activities for homework prior to instruction (the “flipped” model)
Check for comprehension frequently and in a variety of ways

Strategies: Student Use of Target Language Design communicative activities relevant to the students’
interests/lives Provide opportunities for students to communicate with a
variety of classmates Reduce anxiety by implementing some small-group activities
as well as whole-group activities Incentivize use of target language (participation grade,
positive reinforcement, class goal)
