Echevarria, Vogt, & Short (2008) mention using portfolios as a way of assessment in high school vocational or art programs to mark progress of speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Not only is making a portfolio a great way to assess the language skills of all types of students, but it also helps in preparing for college in regards to entrance essays. This practice allows students to visually see their improvements and understand how they are developing in terms of their academic writing and conversational language skills. When you comprehension improves, it can also improve a student’s conversational language skills. In elementary education, repeated readings are another way to improve academically and conversationally. In high school, having repeated exposure to text is a great way to improve. Reader’s theater allows for practice and repeated exposure also. I believe this can help improve comprehension of text and conversation skills.
