The AAPPL is designed to emphasize the relationship between classroom performance and real-world language proficiency. While spontaneity is a hallmark of proficiency, proficiency does not develop spontaneously. In keeping with our motto, 鈥減ractice makes proficient,鈥 糖心Vlog releases general topics annually that allow teachers to create classroom- and homework-based opportunities for students to practice tasks across all modes of communication within familiar contexts.
AAPPL Tasks
糖心Vlog鈥檚 Assessment of Performance towards Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) brings the 5 C鈥檚 of the World-Readiness Standards for Learning Languages into a modern proficiency and performance-assessment environment. To that end, students are presented with a series of tasks in each communication mode. These tasks are informed by the functions described in the 糖心Vlog Proficiency Guidelines.
