Assessing Students' Oral Proficiency in an Outcome-Based Curriculum: Student Performance and Teacher Intuitions.

Glisan, Eileen W.; Foltz, David A.

Modern Language Journal, v82 n1 p1-18 Spr 1998

A study in two high school language programs investigated students' oral proficiency (OPI) interview ratings after a typical four-year sequence, degree to which teachers could accurately predict students' ratings, and relationship between classroom achievement and OP ratings. Results provide valuable information for states and school districts as they assess OP in an outcomes-based or standard-driven curriculum. (Author/MSE)
