Staying in the Target Language: Student Self Reflection Rubric

Language teacher struggle with the challenge: How do we keep our students talking in the target language (TL)? Many of my students are intrinsically motivated, they are excited to become fluent Hebrew speakers,  they see the results in their Torah learning, and they understand that the way to learn a new language is by speaking it. Not all elementary school students are there yet,
 and I have tried many different incentives to encourage my students to overcome the impulse to revert back to English. With the help of Becky Katz, a specialist in Blended Learning, we created this student self assessment rubric where students can reflect on their participation in Hebrew conversation. Students can earn points to be redeemed each Friday.
