What program‐level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? Strengths revealed: The use of a common rubric and topics promoted fluency and accuracy of the content presented to the students at each specific level. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? Actions planned: We will continue to use the common rubric and similar topics/themes to be used at each specific level to encourage student’s confidence in the target language as well as the use of vocabulary and linguistic structures in appropriate communicative context. The amount of proficiency production and the level of difficulty and complexity of expression are appropriate for the level of learners. 3
