Project

ACTFL Assessment for Performance and Proficiency of Languages (AAPPL)

CAL worked with ACTFL to articulate a blueprint to assess performance and proficiency in languages on a national scale across all educational levels. 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 on the project to inform the profession.
