COURSE DESCRIPTION
Are you tired of tests and quizzes that don’t match up with real world language skills? The integrated performance assessment (IPA)  will transform your inauthentic assessments into engaging, high-impact tasks that give deep insights into student learning. IPAs are three-part assessments that work together to measure the three modes of communication (interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational). 

This course will empower you to design and implement IPAs that measure student proficiency and push students toward language proficiency. We'll explore how IPAs leverage high-quality authentic materials, technology integration, and thematic coordination to promote communicative language skills. Move beyond grammar and vocabulary-driven tests and discover how IPAs can transform your classroom into a space where students actively use language to communicate, collaborate, and solve problems just like they would in the real world.
