The materials were produced at the Defense Language Institute by Wendy Ashby, Ph D. and may be reproduced and used if the acknowledgment of their source and the disclaimer remain on printed copies. They were produced for and presented at the ACTFL 2007conference and have thus far only undergone minor piloting in actual classroom settings. While feedback thus far has been positive, there is room for improvement. Please direct any comments or questions to: wendy.ashby@us.army.mil
The materials were designed for formative use and are best used in close collaboration with the person receiving the feedback. I personally suggest that all copies of such feedback remain with the teacher and not be otherwise stored. Summative/evaluative use is discouraged because of the specificity of each category and the impossibility of any one of them to provide a clear picture of overall teaching effectiveness.
