I. Proficiency Vs. Performance
Proficiency• to communicate
meaningful information
• in spontaneous interaction
• understandable to native speakers
• does not mean perfection
Performance
• performance in familiar contexts
• practiced and rehearsed
• connected to specific curriculum
![Page 6: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Proficiency OR Performance?
A. Mrs L. is a French teacher who just completed a chapter on food with her French 1 class. She decides to take her students to a local African restaurant as a capstone activity. At the restaurant, students are expected to order their food and provide opinions in the target language (all functions they have rehearsed in class). The students do very well in performing these tasks.
B. Suddenly, two African men come to the table and start interacting with her students. Their questions are not necessarily related to food. After the initial shock, Mrs L.'s students start uttering a few words ("Yes", "No", "sometimes") and using simple sentences ("I am 13 years old", "Yes, I like French"), they have a hard time understanding the native speakers.

II. Proficiency Levels
What are the proficiency levels?
Novice
Intermediate Superior
Advanced

Proficiency Levels for SLOs
Level 1: Novice-midLevel 2: Novice-high
Level 3: Intermediate-lowLevel 4: Intermediate-MidLevel 5: Intermediate-High
AP: Advanced-Low
![Page 10: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Proficiency Levels Defined
![Page 11: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Proficiency Sublevels
LOWa baseline performance for the level; sustained but skeletal for the level; “Just hanging on”
MID solid performance for level; quantity/quality for the level; may have some features of the next level
HIGH sustained performance close to the next major level
![Page 12: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Proficiency Sublevel Differences
• Differences between low and mid is the quantity and quality with the same function
• Differences between mid and high is not being able to sustain criteria for the next level

Peaks and Lows of Proficiency
• Students might spike into the next proficiency level
• They are unable to sustain it and return to the lower proficiency level

IV. IPAs Explained
Integrated Performance Assessment
![Page 28: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why IPA?
• Proficiency based (new Ohio Standards are proficiency based, too!)
• SLO guidelines do not allow the use of multiple choice tests
• Approved by the Ohio Department of Education
![Page 29: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Characteristics of IPAAuthentic
Performance-based
Based on three modes of communication
Integrated
Show developmental progress of proficiency
Blend with classroom instruction/experiences

V. Where IPAs Fit In
![Page 31: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Understanding Proficiency and IPAs](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081507/568161a3550346895dd15db0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Steps to write an IPA
1) Language function to be targeted
2) Decide interpretive task*
3) Decide presentational task*
4) Decide interpersonal task*
*Do NOT have to be in this order
