**Middle School World Languages Department Grading Policy** The goal of the study of another language is to develop the ability to communicate in that language. Through active engagement in meaningful use of the language students develop a variety of skills that allow them to use the language they are studying. Specifically students learn to:


 * comprehend reading and listening materials in the target language (interpretive skills)
 * engage in conversations with speakers of the language (interpersonal skills)
 * present information and ideas in both written and spoken formats (presentational skills)

The grading policy of the middle schools’ world language department assesses students’ developing abilities in these three areas.


 * 20% - Interpretive skills assessment (Students demonstrate that they can read and listen to authentic materials in the language.)
 * 20% - Interpersonal skills assessment (Students demonstrate that they can engage in spontaneous conversations in the language.)
 * 20% - Presentational skills assessment (Students demonstrate that they can present ideas in a written or spoken format.)
 * 20% - Mini-assessments: Knowledge of vocabulary and grammar (sentence structure) are building blocks for language learning.
 * 10% - Class participation: Active engagement in each day’s lesson is critical to developing communicative skills in a language. Risk-taking is critical for successful language learning. Teachers assess students’ active class participation and communicate throughout the marking period to students about the quality of their engagement.
 * 10% - Homework: Practice of skills developed in class and completion of assignments outside of class to most efficiently utilize class time are critical components that lead to success in language learning.

The district grading scale is as follows:

97 - 100 A+ 93 - 96 A 90 – 92 A-

87 – 89 B+ 83 – 86 B 80 – 82 B-

77 – 79 C+ 73 – 76 C 70 – 72 C-

0 – 64 F

In the A/B program students receive a mark of Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) at the end of first and third marking periods. A – F letter grades are assigned at the end of the second and fourth marking periods.
