On Active versus Passive Proficiency in Pronunciation. Universitetspedagogiska Utredningen Projekt MUP [Mal, Undervisning Prov] (University Pedagogical Investigation Project [Speech, Instruction Test]).

Outlined in this report developed at Goteborgs University are the construction and administering details for a test designed to measure passive proficiency in pronunciation of English as a second language. The phonemic choice, rhythm and intonation, and phonetic analysis factors of pronunciation are evaluated. A statistical correlation of the passive pronunciation proficiency test and an active proficiency test (taken by 250 of the original 270 participants in the experiment) also reveals implications for active-passive testing in language laboratory programing.
