Performance Assessments

What is an Integrated Performance Assessment? (IPA) The IPA begins when learners are asked to acquire information through an Interpretive mode task. Then, learners react to that information by interacting with others through the Interpersonal mode. Finally, learners create a product in the Presentational mode that incorporates information acquired through the other two modes.

ACTFL Integrated Performance Assessment 1. Interpretive Communication Phase Students listen to and / or read an authentic text and answer information as well as interpretive questions to assess comprehension. The teacher provides students with feedback on performance. 2. Interpersonal Communication Phase After receiving feedback students engage in communication about a particular topic which relates to the interpretive text. This phase is audio- or videotaped. 3. Presentational Communicative Phase Students engage in the presentational mode by sharing their research/ideas/opinions. Samples presentational formats: speeches, drama, skits, radio broadcasts, posters, brochures, podcasts, websites, etc.
