Action Plan
Assessment of LC 111, LS 111
and LS 223
Goal was redefined to include the
assessment of all LX 111 classes
(speaking, listening, reading and writing),
and to postpone assessment of LS 223.
The speaking skills of all 111 classes
were assessed. The assessment of the
rest of the skills will be finished by the
end of the Spring 2010 semester.
The assessment committee will
prepare reports with results and
recommendations for teaching and
learning improvements.
Refine placement procedure
An online placement questionnaire was
implemented. The questionnaire has
improved the advisement placement
process, allowing for earlier and faster
registration in foreign language classes.
The Department continues to
perfect the questionnaire
