ACTFL’s Three Modes of Communication

At LanguageBird, we strive to align our instruction with the framework of the American Countil on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).

Following this framework helps ensure that we cover the three modes of communication: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. Watch the video below to learn more about these three modes.

As you fill in the LNG with your student at the closing of each lesson, remember to indicate which modes of communication you worked on in class!
