How can you tell if your child is progressing in a language you can't understand? A great way to assess your child's ability is through a proficiency test. The test, give by American Council on the Teaching Foreign Languages (ACTFL), assesses the proficiency in speaking and writing. Speaking is assessed through a phone interview or a face to face interview that will last 20-30 minutes. The written portion is a standardized test using questions off of a rubric. The speaking portion is graded by one person, while the writing portion is graded by two.
