Invalidating Validity Claims for the ACTFL Oral Rating Scale.
Fulcher, Glenn
System, v24 n2 p163-72 Jun 1996
Examines evidence presented for the validity of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) rating scales in "Foreign Language Annals" (1990), "System" (1992), and "Proficiency Guidelines" (1982, 1986). The article argues that this evidence is insufficient to support a claim for validity. (36 references) (Author/CK)
