Welcome to Heather’s
PBLA, a monthly blog that hopes to help Canadian ESL Instructors
implement PBLA in a multi-level classroom as painlessly and productively as
possible.
As Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s PBLA (Portfolio-Based Language Assessments) system is fairly new to us as a sector, with 2016-2018 being identified as our official transition period, I thought it might be useful to have a place were we could share generic assessment tools that could be used to assess various activities demonstrating any one competency, for any skill, across a minimum of three levels.
I might only post one or two items per month, but over two
years… with time to experimentation … we should end up with at least 16 -32 solid,
easy-to-use handouts that almost anyone can use to meet CIC requirements AND
help students achieve their goals.
Yikes. I think the butterflies have turned into pterodactyls.
