Topics
An ad hoc committee will evaluate the different approaches that exist to assess foreign language proficiency and that the State Department's Foreign Service Institute (FSI) could potentially use to assess language proficiency. The committee will consider the key assessment approaches in the research literature that are appropriate for language testing, including, but not limited to, assessments that use task-based or performance-based approaches, adaptive online test administration, and portfolios.
