Russian Speaking Test Rater Training Kit

[Kate Newman]

The Center for Applied Linguistics is pleased to announce that the Russian Speaking Test Rater Training Kit is now available. Completed in January 1999 with the involvement of professionals in Russian proficiency testing, the Self-Instructional Rater Training Kit enables teachers to gain a "hands-on" understanding of the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines. They will also become familiar with the goals of proficiency-oriented testing and its implications for classroom teaching. Furthermore, users learn the theories and techniques behind the administration and scoring of the Russian Speaking Test, a tape-mediated, proficiency-based performance assessment intended for high school and post-secondary students and adults at the ACTFL proficiency levels Novice-Mid to Superior. After completing the RTK, teachers will be able to administer and score the Russian Speaking Test for their own language programs. If desired, users may also earn a certificate of achievement through CAL.
