This page consists of two Self-Assessment tutorial videos, presented by graduate assistants to the LoLA program. In these videos, LCTL instructors will gain knowledge on how to extract activities and communicative practices and turn them into self-assessment material for their students in the form of “can-do” statements.

This video is presented by Yue Yang, graduate assistant of the NLRC. She shows how to create “can-do” statements from an OER Chinese textbook.
