hours-to-proficiency measure?

[Katie Janicka]

Annie,

In her book Teaching Language in Context, Alice Omaggio Hadley gives a
table (p. 26) of expected levels of speaking proficiency according to
length of instruction per language difficulty. The information has been
adapted from Judith E. Liskin-Gasparro. ETS Oral Proficiency Testing
Manual. Princeton, NJ.: ETS, 1982.

Regards,

Katie Janicka
