BOSSA: Planning for Fall 2018

Soon Language Center staff will begin contacting language section coordinators whose classes have administered a Basic Outcomes Student Self-Assessment or BOSSA session in the past about scheduling a BOSSA session for Fall 2018.

BOSSA was created for students learning a second (or third) language at the University of Minnesota in order to improve how they learn language. It gives students opportunities to practice assessing their own language ability and to reflect analytically about ways they use language to develop their language proficiency. As students learn to notice how they and others (instructors, peers, etc.) use language – vocabulary and structures in different contexts – they will start to recognize their own language strengths and challenges.

If you are an instructor who has not participated in BOSSA in the past, but are interested in potentially including it in your Fall 2018 course, please email bossa@umn.edu to get started.
