Assessing a Foreign Language Program Through Proper Use of Standardized Tests.
Bockman, John F.
This talk delivered at the 1967 annual meeting of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages examines a statistically-oriented assessment of the foreign language program at Tucson, Arizona. The text includes reprints of 25 transparencies used, largely drawn from the results of two groups of tests: (1) the Modern Language Association Cooperative Language Tests and (2) the Pimsleur Language Aptitude Battery. Other charts and diagrams indicate various interpretations of results of the tests pointing out ways in which to meet the varied needs of a large heterogeneous school population. (RL)
