They add that in order to effect change in the quality of our education, we must continue to investigate what constitutes effective teaching as it has significant implications for both the education of and assessment of teachers and their students. In West Virginia, what occurs in world language (WL) classrooms has been the topic of ongoing discussions between members of the state foreign language teachers association, current teachers, and the state’s WL coordinators. Despite notable positive momentum in WL education in the state, scant data existed that would provide knowledge of the practices of WL teachers. The present research revealed that while teachers incorporate a variety of appropriate activities into their classroom, and both believe in the value of the standards and use them in planning their lessons, their implementation of standards-based assessments lag behind. The findings also hint at the similarity to the findings from the recent ACTFL Standards Impact Survey (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, ACTFL, 2011) with respect to how teachers nationwide interpret and incorporate the standards and standards-based assessment in their classrooms.  \nBackground  \nGiven the currently accepted pedagogical focus on communicative, studentcentered approaches to instruction, a current world language (WL) classroom must be more than grammatical instruction and textbook-driven practice. In West Virginia, issues of teacher language proficiency, components of effective teaching, and whether or not effective teaching occurs in current classrooms have been the topic of ongoing discussions between members of the West Virginia Foreign Language Teachers Association (WVFLTA), current WL teachers, and the state’s WL coordinators. These informal conversations provided the impetus to examine the actual practices of teachers in West Virginia’s WL classrooms.  \nAlthough all states are experiencing educational and financial challenges, the ongoing development of a 21st Century educational system in West Virginia is further complicated by the state’s demographics, which have been found to be a contributive factor in the shortage of language teachers (Swanson & Huff, 2010) . In addition to limited financial means, the average annual household income is $38,380  \nEvaluating Effective Teaching in the 21st Century World Language Classroom 105  \nas compared to the U.S. average of $51,194. Additionally, West Virginia is rather homogenous given that 2.3% of the state’s residents speak a language other than English in the home compared to the US average, 20.1%(U.S. Census, 2012) . Additionally, there are many rural counties in West Virginia with small school districts, and salaries are lower than the average salaries found throughout the region. Teacher salaries in West Virginia average $44,701 as compared to surrounding states such as Ohio ($54,656), Kentucky ($47,875), Pennsylvania ($57,237) and Maryland ($62,849)(National Education Association, 2012) .  \nCoupled with these demographics, the educational stakeholders in West Virginia are concerned with the quality of WL teaching in the state. Schulz (2000) highlights the need to research and to define teacher behaviors and skills for initial certification and professional licensing. In addition to economic and geographical hurdles, West Virginia is examining issues relating to the language proficiency of its WL teachers. Currently, only 21 states use official ACTFL proficiency testing (Oral Proficiency Interview or OPI and the Writing Proficiency Test) as part of their certification process (Chambless, 2012), which serves as a means to ensure that their WL teachers have proficiency in the target language.
