ACTFL Assessment for Performance and Proficiency of Languages (AAPPL)
Funder: U.S. Department of Education, International Research and Studies Program, via subcontract from the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)
January – May 2006
CAL served as a subcontractor in ACTFL’s efforts to articulate a blueprint to assess performance and proficiency in languages on a national scale across the K-16 educational spectrum. The project involved creating a framework appropriate for a national test, conducting a survey of K-16 language educators to determine their assessment practices and needs, developing a prototype with language-specific items, and disseminating information about the project to inform the profession.
