Q & A about the
MSL Design Group Work
Jennifer Preston
jennifer.preston@dpi.nc.gov
RttT Project Coordinator for
Teacher & Leader Effectiveness
MSL Questions
1. Will the MSL World Language
participants be meeting again? If so,
when and to discuss what?
2. Can we expect a common summative
assessment for World Languages? If so,
what is it going to look like?
3. Has a company been secured to write
exams for World Languages?
MSL Questions
4. Is there any chance the state will decide that
World Languages are not important enough to
test?
5. How will MSL items or state exams address
different aspects of language skills, such as . . .
•
•
•
Creating language to form sentences and questions?
Interpersonal communication where a student
demonstrates the ability to ask and answer
questions?
Speaking expectations?
MSL Questions
6. Is the state considering creating a
format/template for exams but giving
districts/charters local control in creating those
exams so that the tests could be aligned with:
–
–
the languages taught in their schools?
the local sequencing of units or topics?
7. Is there any news or update on when IIS is
going to be available?
