CIED 4013:
Capstone
Course
for
Foreign
Language
Licensure
August 29, 2014
Students,
Welcome to the Planet Gnosis website for CIED 4013: Capstone Course for Foreign Language Licensure.
Capstone will help you identify levels of proficiency in the four skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking as described in the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) guidelines for foreign languages. You will also demonstrate cultural knowledge related to your target language and become familiar with the proficiency guidelines for application in your classrooms.
A major purpose for pre-MAT students in Capstone is to provide evidence of Intermediate-High to Advanced-Low and above levels of proficiency in foreign languages through oral and written presentations in both English and the target language. This evidence is used to support the ACTFL/NCATE (National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education) standards for foreign language education licensure. A secondary goal is to familiarize students with the foreign language teaching profession through discussion of standards for foreign language learning P-12.
Your student web provides lecture powerpoints, learning resources, and assignment details and rubrics. Most of the resources are printer friendly. I encourage you to visit this page often during the semester.
See you in class!

Different languages — I mean the actual vocabularies, the idioms — have worked out certain mechanisms of communication and registration. No one language is complete. A master may be continually expanding his own tongue, rendering it fit to bear some charge hitherto borne only by some other alien tongue, but the process does not stop with any one man. While Proust is learning Henry James, preparatory to breaking through certain French paste-board partitions, the whole American speech is churning and chugging, and every other tongue doing likewise.
— Ezra Pound, "How to Read," 1929
