National Focus on Assessment
• Assessment plays a key role in focusing language learning and communicating what language educators and the public expect that students will be able to do in their new language;
• Assessment of language learning requires a variety of measures to assist students in their language learning;
![Page 16: Rosenbusch Dahlberg Lueth Lien Chiang Elementary School Chinese Programs](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110306/55504b7cb4c90580748b5180/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
National Focus on Assessment
• Users must match language assessments to the purpose for using the instrument, selecting the most appropriate measure.

Recommendations:• International content should be taught across
the curriculum at all levels of learning, to expand American students’ knowledge of other countries and cultures;
• Expand the training pipeline at every level of education to address the paucity of Americans fluent in foreign languages, especially critical, less-commonly taught languages.
