Abstract
In this workshop, participants will be challenged to reconsider definitions of interpersonal, presentational, and interpretive communication through the lens of foreign language literacy development, and to use these definitions to design text-based assessments for their courses. Using the backward design model and multiliteracies pedagogy to ground their work, participants will learn how to align student learning objectives with assessments, how to incorporate texts of various modes and genres into assessment practices, and how to evaluate students’ ability to communicate interpersonally, presentationally, and interpretively. Workshop slides can be downloaded from the link provided.
