This document discusses strategies for teaching and assessing language learning. It recommends that teachers create a supportive learning environment and use interactive, cooperative learning strategies. Some specific strategies mentioned include hands-on activities, challenging lessons with high expectations, and communicating with parents. Gestures and visual cues are also recommended to reinforce vocabulary. Assessment should be ongoing and allow multiple formats so students can demonstrate understanding in non-linguistic ways. Common tests include achievement, proficiency, and performance tests. Assessment tools should monitor progress in specific areas.
