Developed at the turn of the century by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Language (ACTFL), what has come to be known as Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) has influenced assessment practices in the area of Modern Foreign Languages (MFL). IPAs are organized around a series of purposefully designed tasks and assessment instruments that mimic those of the real world. IPAs are implemented during instruction and not as a stand-alone test. Research on IPAs reports benefits to both learners and teachers. Additionally, IPAs appear to promote a positive washback effect that leads teachers and students to engage in communication under the tenets of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT).

The undelying intentions of the policy were to conscientize teacher educators as to the power struggles embedded in their job, as well as to empower student teachers to take a more active role in their professional development. However, the pervasiveness of Neoliberal constructs conspired against the realization of the intentions of the document.

Volunteer-based Professional Associations have not been exempted from the negative influences of such situation. However, not all is bad under the current conditions. According to the United Nations Volunteering Service (2021), pre-pandemic over one billion people worldwide used to be involved in volunteering. Contrary to what could be assumed, given the travel restrictions in place, the online environment has actually prompted a global surge in volunteering, and, after the initial shock, organizations have started to take stock of what has worked within the constraints of the "new normality."

It advocates for a view of learning as participation in socially mediated activities, which has the potential of helping the field overcome the pervasiveness of the habitus that characterizes it. This habitus can be understood as those collective, yet individualized and internalized structures that help us define, interpret, and judge our lived experience. The paper argues that two main traditions (one practical and one theoretical) have polarized the field and rendered it difficult to modify. However, the emergent adoption of a Sociocultural Perspective by many teacher educators can prove to be a plausible alternative to the status quo that may help resolve some of the conundrums the profession is experiencing.
