"Dimension" is the annual volume containing the selected, refereed, edited proceedings of each year's conference. On the eve of its 40th anniversary, the Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT) plans a special series of articles on assessment within the foreign language profession. The 2004 edition of "Dimension" offers an overview of the instruments used to evaluate teacher education programs that prepare foreign language teacher candidates and examines the teacher evaluation instruments required for licensure in the SCOLT region. The series will continue in the 2005 edition of "Dimension" with an annotated bibliography of noteworthy and recommended articles on assessment. Following an introduction and an article announcing a special series on assessment by Lynne McClendon and Carol Wilkerson, the articles selected for inclusion in these 2004 proceedings include: (1) No Child Left Behind in Foreign Language Education (Lynne McClendon); (2) Using Learner and Teacher Preparation Standards to Reform a Language Major (Rosalie M. Cheatham); (3) Student Electronic Portfolio Assessment (Denise Egea-Kuehne); (4) Assessing Readiness of Foreign Language Education Majors to Take the Praxis II Exam (Carol Wilkerson, Judith H. Schomber, and Jana Sandarg); (5) The TPR Test: Total Physical Response as an Assessment Tool (Scott Grubbs); (6) Assessing the Impact of Narrow Listening: Students' Perceptions and Performance (Victoria Rodrigo); (7) Accounting for Activity: Cognition and Oral Proficiency Assessment (Miguel Mantero); and (8) Building Bridges for International Internships (Sharron Gray Abernethy).
