ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were created by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages in order to provide a means of assessing the proficiency of a foreign language speaker.
The guidelines are broken up into different proficiency levels, each of which is further subdivided: novice, intermediate, advanced, and superior. Additionally, these proficiency levels may refer to one's ability to listen, speak, read or write. In those American programs that emphasize written language over spoken, students may reach the advanced level in reading and writing while remaining at a lower level in listening and speaking.
