Hi Nancy!
It's great to hear from you.
They had prompts on the sheet. I began writing my prompts in English after
seeing AAPPL do the same for their presentational tests. When we do our
interviews (interpersonal) that is all in Spanish.
I can share some prompts, they are usually questions or topics. For
example: A novice-low says "List words to describe yourself". A Novice-High
says describe October and what you like about this month.
Stel Schmalz has described the process in writing and I plan to post that
this week.
We have some iPods for the department and students also use their own/other
devices. We have them leave the classroom and find places near by to
complete the videos (keeping some well selected groups in the classroom).
We aim to do 2 videos a quarter.
If you want to talk more, e-mail me at auyaguari@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or
comment on the blog post so others can join the convo :)
Thanks,
Ashley
