The certificate in World Language Proficiency is issued based on language proficiency level on the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) proficiency scale, rather than exclusively on the course credit hours. Students may apply for the Certificate in World Language Proficiency after completing the second year courses in a world language. Students earn the certificate when they demonstrate a minimum of “Intermediate Low” level in French, German, and Spanish, or “Novice High” in Arabic, Chinese, and Japanese on the ACTFL proficiency scale, using the Assessment of the Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) test or the Avant Standards-based Measurement of Proficiency (STAMP) test in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
