Make a reflection Using WIDA’s Speaking Interpretive Rubric to analyze the students’ performance and summarize the student’s performance and compare it to stages of second language acquisition. Finally, make recommendations as educators detailing instructional remedies, not what the student must do, but what the educational system and/or teachers should provide.
