Effective Foreign Language Teaching
Studies investigating teacher candidate performance on traditional assessments of content knowledge place emphasis on just one of many skills needed to be an effective foreign language teacher; they also fail to explain why many teacher candidates with advanced oral proficiency struggle in the classroom and why some with less advanced language skills perform well. Using both quantitative data from Oral Proficiency Interviews, the Praxis Subject A…
Oral Proficiency Standards and Foreign Language Teacher Candidates
The renewed national focus on teacher quality and effectiveness has resulted in more rigorous standards that describe the knowledge and skills required of teacher candidates across all disciplines. In the area of foreign languages, three sets of professional standards address the oral proficiency of teachers in the target languages they teach across the career continuum. For teacher candidates, the ACTFL/NCATE Program Standards for the Preparatio…
National Standards
The Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (SFLL) (National Standards in Foreign Language Education Project [NSFLEP]), originally published in 1996, were envisioned by many as the panacea for providing a new and exciting direction for foreign language education in the United States. The perceived impact of these National K-16 Student Standards has been witnessed throughout more than a decade by scholarly works that have ackno…

Assessing Students' Oral Proficiency
This article reports on the Pittsburgh Public Schools Oral Ratings Assessment for Language Students (PPS ORALS) project, a Title VI Foreign Language Assistance Program grant‐funded project to create an online testing Software program that makes large‐scale oral testing in a world language not only feasible, but also easy to create, administer, and rate. The primary purpose of this article is to present the PPS ORALS assessment model as a valid In…
The Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA)
This article reports on Beyond the OPI: Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA) Design Project, a three‐year (1997–2000) research initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education International Research and Studies Program. The primary goal of the project was to develop an integrated skills assessment prototype that would measure students' progress towards the Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21st Century (National Standards,…

Teaching Spanish Through Distance Education
At national and state levels, there is a current emphasis on expanding foreign language programs in order to enable ALL students to achieve high standards in linguistic and cultural competency. While school districts across the country attempt to begin language instruction in the elementary grades, many lack adequate resources to employ additional staffing. Distance education programs are increasingly being proposed as a means of compensating for…
Strengthening Foreign Language Teacher Preparation Through Teacher‐Supervisor Exchange
Recent national reports call for a reorganization of the teacher preparation process through closer collaboration between basic and higher education. This article describes how a university supervisor of Spanish and a cooperating high school Spanish teacher participated in a one‐week exchange of professional duties for the purpose of understanding each other's roles more fully. The results of the exchange prompted the redesign of the teacher prep…
Foreign Languages And International Studies In The Elementary School
In response to a national emphasis on language proficiency and global awareness, many elementary schools are establishing language programs in which the foreign language is used to teach students content area material such as mathematics and science. There is currently a lack of training programs which prepare elementary teachers to utilize the language as a means for instruction in the content areas. This paper presents an innovative program whi…
A Plan for Teaching Listening Comprehension
Many studies in foreign language learning over the past several years have explored the processes involved in listening and reading as well as the benefits of receptive skill development. Empirical investigations continue to identify the positive effects of extensive practice in listening and reading early in language study. The purpose of this article is to present a strategy for teaching listening comprehension by adapting several aspects of an…
Beginning Spanish Students
The purpose of this investigation was to identify certain attitudes, reactions, and expectations of beginning Spanish students at the University of Pittsburgh concerning their previous, present, and future foreign language study. At a time when the University was placing increasing emphasis on the importance of language programs, the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literatures sought information and opinions of its elementary students in ord…
Total Physical Response
Research in foreign language learning continues to reveal positive effects of an initial listening period with a delay in oral production. Studies have shown that use of Asher's “Total Physical Response” strategy, through which students internalize meaning initially by physically responding to oral commands, results in better listening comprehension, speaking, and reading performance. Despite TPR's acclaimed success, many teachers hesitate to ado…
The Effect of Word Order on Listening Comprehension and Pattern Retention
An important skill which the language learner uses in the listening task is knowledge of the syntax of the target language. This study empirically examines the effect of one aspect of surface structure, word order, on the listening comprehension and pattern retention of native English speakers learning Spanish The factors of sentence length and position of a sentence in a given context are also analyzed As the basis for the experiment, a brief di…
