Assessment in Action: A CEFR-based Toolkit for FSL Teachers - Level A
Based on the Common European Framework of Reference for languages, Assessment in Action is a set of adaptable tasks that the teachers can use in the classroom to support assessment as, of and for learning at their students’ level in the language being taught. The tasks are designed for FSL classrooms but can be adapted for other languages. Assessment in Action is built around five activity types: Spoken interaction; Spoken production; Listening; Reading; and Writing. It covers the first two levels of the CEFR, i.e. (A) Basic user and (B) Independent user. These levels are split into sub-levels – from A1.1 to B2. Each activity type is based on a “Can-do” statement, which describes an activity that the student can do in the target language. Assessment in Action is published in two volumes: Level A and Level B.

Speakarama - A Languages Awareness Game
A new educational board game for students of Core French, English as a second language, and other languages has been developed by The Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers (CASLT). Designed for both whole class and independent group use in centers or as students have completed their work, the game is an ideal activity for students eight years and older to increase awareness of languages spoken by Canadians while practising their target language. Students will have fun showing off their knowledge of simple, common expressions, and identifying words and expressions in additional languages to earn tokens as they move across the board. They will also enjoy learning about the meanings of place names of Canadian cities and provinces like Toronto, Saskatchewan, Iqaluit, Ottawa, Calgary, Antigonish, Tracadie, Inuvik, Winnipeg, and Yukon. Players can play the game individually or in teams.

Perceptions from ESL Teachers Across Canada: A National Survey of the English Second Language (ESL) Teaching Profession
The challenges underlying English Second Language (ESL) teaching have not been widely investigated in Canada. Consequently, in 2010, the Canadian Association of Second Language Teachers (CASLT) and Heritage Canada jointly funded a national survey project that investigated the diverse challenges faced by ESL teachers working in schools across Canada. In March 2010, in-service ESL teachers teaching in provincially-recognized ESL programs in K-12 private and public schools across Canada were invited to participate in an online survey. The survey questionnaire consisted of 64 questions (e.g., likert-scale, multiple-choice and open-ended items) in which teachers were asked to provide information about the following key areas of their profession: support form key stakeholders, major challenges, teaching resources, job satisfaction and professional development.
This report presents the results of key questions for ESL teachers such as managing classes where students present various competency levels in ESL, special classes, student motivation and a lot more.

The Relative Effectivness of Different Core French Delivery Models. Review of the Research. (2008)
This review was undertaken to summarize existing knowledge about modes of delivery of core French across Canada. The focus is on the relative effectiveness of different formats for core French. It identifies a widespread concern related to the perceived inadequacy of the instructional time and intensity currently devoted to core French in school systems in every province and territory. It also documents another major concern, namely the marginalization of the study of French as a second language (FSL) in existing core French program formats
