The document outlines 12 principles of teaching and learning language: (1) Learning is an active process that uses sensory input rather than passive acceptance of knowledge, (2) Learning is reflective and engages both the mind and hands, (3) Focusing on fewer, more complex topics for more time and depth is preferable to superficial coverage of many topics, (3) Emphasis should be placed on self-evaluation using criterion-referenced feedback and rubrics, and making connections between learning, intelligence, and real-world application explicit.

10. Emphasis on self-evaluation
-feedback should be criterion-referenced

11. Make use of an integrated
performance assessment
-make connections between learning
styles, intelligence, and the real world
explicit in a way that is useful to both
students and teachers.

5. Principles of Teaching and
Learning Language
12. Emphasize real world application
-realistic performance over out-of-context drill items.
-generate rather than choose
-to actively accomplish complex tasks
-acquiring relevant skills.
