Assessing the Validity of Can‐Do Statements in Retrospective (Then‐Now) Self‐Assessment
In this study, the authors evaluated the strengths and limitations of a self‐assessment based on ACTFL Can‐Do statements ( ACTFL, ) as a tool for measuring linguistic gains over an internship abroad in Russia. They assessed its reliability, determined how its items mapped with the ACTFL scale, and measured the degree to which students' self‐evaluations matched oral proficiency interview (OPI) test results (i.e., predictive validity). Data reveale…
Qualitative and Quantitative Measures of Second Language Writing
This research describes a method applied at a U.S. university in a third‐year Russian language course designed to facilitate Advanced and Superior second language writing proficiency through the forum of argumentation and debate.

Linguistic homogeneity and heterogeneity receive particular attention as potential contributing factors to language shift or maintenance in the home, arguably the last bastion in terms of language maintenance. In an effort to elicit feedback from participants relative to language use, the survey instrument developed for this resea…
