A Contextualized Approach to Describing Oral Proficiency.
Chalhoub-Deville, Micheline
Language Learning, v45 n2 p251-81 Jun 1995
Studies learners' second-language (L2) oral proficiency, incorporating an interview, a narration, and a read-aloud. Results show that the nature of the L2 oral construct is not constant. The article concludes that proficiency researchers should use dimensions empirically derived according to the specific elicitation task and audience. (53 references) (Author/CK)
