This report is a summary of the results of the administration of the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) Proficiency Tests to native speakers in Chile, Columbia, France, German, Italy, and Spain. The notion of a "superior" level of competence in reading, writing, aural comprehension, and speaking a second language is specified objectively through the statistical analysis of the tests administered by the MLA research associates. The tests of some 300 individual speakers of each language (French, German, Italian, and Spanish) were scored by the Educational Testing Service and compared with scores on identical tests administered to National Defense Education Act (NDEA) summer institute participants. Twenty-four tables and figures present statistical information concerning the findings. (RL)
