The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) has released the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines 2012 for Speaking, Writing, Listening, and Reading.

The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines have been revised for 2012 with updated descriptions of what individuals can do with language in terms of speaking, writing, listening and reading in real-world situations in a spontaneous and non-rehearsed context. The Guidelines website is a new and exciting feature that supports the text of the 2012 Guidelines with glossed terminology and annotated, multimedia samples of performance at each level for Speaking and Writing, and examples of oral and written texts and tasks associated with each level for Reading and Listening. To view the document and samples: http://actflproficiencyguidelines2012.org/

From http://www.speechyproject.org/about-speechy

InterCom isn’t the only service that looks for helpful online tools for teachers. The people on the Speechy website surf the Internet looking for free, reliable, easy-to-use, stable, and implementable resources for language teachers. The Resources a la carte and Teaching Materials tabs focus only on Spanish, French, and English; but the Tools tab includes resources for any language.

Speechy is available at
