- Title
A Rationale for Criterion-Referenced Proficiency Testing.
- Authors
Clifford, Ray
- Abstract
This article summarizes some of the technical issues that add to the complexity of language testing. It focuses in particular on the criterion-referenced nature of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines-Speaking; and it proposes a criterion-referenced interpretation of the ACTFL guidelines for reading and listening. It then demonstrates how using criterion-referenced testing and scoring enhances the accuracy of reading and listening proficiency ratings while also providing informative feedback to learners.
