The theme of the workshop is “Assessment, Articulation, and Accountability.”  

We will have the following speakers:

PLENARY SPEAKER:

Mr. Paul Sandrock (Director of Education, ACTFL)

PANELISTS AND BREAKOUT SESSION LEADERS:

Dr. Cynthia Ning (University of Hawaii at Manoa)

Mr. Yo Azama (North Salinas High School / California State University, Monterey Bay)

Dr. Sahie Kang (Middlebury College)

The workshop will begin with Mr. Paul Sandrock’s plenary talk titled “Assessing Language Performance: Guiding Learners to Show What They Can Do with What They Know,” followed by a panel of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean specialists responding to the plenary talk. The 2-hour breakout sessions in the afternoon will be led by the three East Asian language specialists, drawing specific examples from respective languages. The concluding session will share the outcomes of the breakout sessions and provide an opportunity to sharing of ideas across languages. We hope that this unique format will enhance our mutual growth.
