Example: Describing a process to test your speaking proficiency

You can test your speaking proficiency by telling someone how to do a task familiar to you.

• Use this task when you think you are at Intermediate level or higher.
• You can use the same procedure more than once, but do not practice in between testing.

• Choose a process to talk about that you have not rehearsed or memorized.
• Record yourself telling someone how to do this procedure.
• Go back and read the description of the different levels of speaking proficiency in the ACTFL guidelines.
• Listen to the recording, and decide as honestly as possible which level of the guidelines your performance matches.
