Student achievement will be measured using the mastery system in accordance with College policy. Students will receive ongoing feedback from the instructor throughout the course. Evaluation will be based on learning outcomes and course content. Mastery will be granted to students who achieve an average of at least 70% on the items listed below. Evaluation will include, but need not be limited to, the following tasks:

-At least 1 recorded student-generated conversation or roleplay to demonstrate a new language function and/or point of grammar (such as extending and accepting an invitation over the phone, interviewing a classmate using proper question forms, or writing a dialogue for a film trailer or cartoon).

-At least 1 individual, paired, or group presentation (presented to the instructor, a small group, or to the class) of up to 1 minute of sustained, connected speech for each student, describing a simple process, location, or object.

-At least 2 paper-based quizzes to demonstrate mastery of language functions, grammar, and/or vocabulary.

-At least 1 recorded reading of a short text to demonstrate mastery of one or more features of pronunciation.

-At least 1 pronunciation project, in which individual students work on one of their own weaknesses in pronunciation as identified by the instructor, show evidence of practicing that point, and record themselves correctly using that point.

-A complete record of weekly experiential tasks such as completion of assignments before, during, and after the activities (setting goals, taking notes, or writing a reflective paragraph) and proof of attendance at all activities.
