Johnson, Yuki
Applied Language Learning, v8 n2 p261-84 1997
Examines the role of American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) guidelines in language proficiency testing, focusing on Japanese language instruction and discussing how effective that system is in relation to university classroom instruction. Two main issues are addressed: viewing ACTFL Proficiency Tests as having the characteristics of achievement tests and the ACTFL Guidelines' rating scale. (Author/SM)
