2/2 a language and then when the time comes they can't understand TL speakers or communicate. The ACTFL focus on proficiency in past 15 years has been helpful in promoting oral communication here in the US. I try to normalize structured conversations with my beginners. More to say but no space!

ACTFL exams, for one, are available much more readily, though considerably more expensive and rely on English knowledge for directions and questions.

But I'd imagine some enterprising test developers could build a Japanese equivalent to their flagship English test.

Any of you know of placement tests for world language students? We want to create them as we get students in French and Spanish who are often misplaced. For me, Haiti, for Spanish, it varies.
