Students lose what category of points for speaking another language in class other than Chinese?
- A.
Participation
- B.
Practice
- C.
Effective Use of Chinese
Correct Answer
A. ParticipationExplanation
When students speak another language in class other than Chinese, they lose points in the category of participation. This means that their active involvement in class discussions and activities is affected negatively when they use a language other than Chinese. This could be because the purpose of the class is to practice and improve Chinese language skills, so speaking in another language goes against the objective of the class.Rate this question:

How many times can a student retake a spoken proficiency assessment?
- A.
Once
- B.
Twice
- C.
Three times
- D.
As many times as a student desires
Correct Answer
A. OnceExplanation
I have this policy because I want to encourage students to continually improve their real-life language speaking skills. The focus is on speaking because in most instances, speaking is the quickest and most effective way of communication. However, this does not mean that students should purposely not prepare for an oral assessment since they know they can always retake it. It is always optimal to be able to be effective at a speaking task when the task is first assessed because then the student is ready to take on the next challenge without worrying about always retaking an assessment.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

Proficiency assessments are designed to evaluate a student's level of skill or knowledge in a particular subject or area. In this case, the proficiency assessments are specifically for Chinese language proficiency. By taking these assessments periodically, students can gauge their progress and determine if they are on track to effectively communicate in Chinese in real-life situations. Therefore, the statement that students take proficiency assessments periodically to inform them if they are on track to communicating in Chinese effectively in real-life situations is true.Rate this question:
