Proficiency Testing for Middle School: Voyage a EPCOT/Viaje a EPCOT.
Singer, Margaret Keefe
Learning Languages, v2 n2 p26-31 Win 1997
Secondary school teachers invented a context for Louisiana's Eighth Grade French and Spanish Proficiency/Credit Exams based on real-life situations students would encounter on class trips to Disney's EPCOT Center. Test activities assess performance in four language skills areas: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. Students' reaction to this test have been positive. Teachers have had mixed reactions.
