Per STANAG 6001 Ed. 4 Skill Level Descriptions BILC WORKING GROUP on LEVEL 4 Per STANAG 6001 Ed. 4 Skill Level Descriptions

TASK 1) Define the conceptual framework of the STANAG 6001 Level 4 construct. 2) Discuss the implications for testing at this level.

GROUP Mike Adubato NATO/SHAPE Chris Burrows UK Adnan Dawaghren JORDAN James Dirgin USA Peggy Garza BILC (USA) Ulla Gudnason DENMARK Emilija Nesheva BULGARIA Annette Nolan SWEDEN Enrique Santovena SPAIN Gerard Seinhorst The NETHERLANDS Sonia Silva FRANCE Dugald Sturges GERMANY Elizabeth Thomson AUSTRALIA Sean Unwin AUSTRALIA Jean-Paul Van Den Heede BELGIUM Jana Vasilj-Begovic CANADA

PROCESS - Sharing the experience of the nations with the L4 construct - Issues encountered in L4 testing - complexity of defining the L4 proficiency construct - lack of knowledge and/or training in L4 use in all areas - lack of consensus on the salient features of L4 - lack of testers whose languages are at L4 - norming among testing cadre(s) within/across -IF ALL ABOVE ACHIEVED…finding people to test at this level

PROCESS - Norming of the Working Group on the L4 construct - L4 performance by a native speaker of English and discussion - Issues defined during the process - can/should the scale apply the NS and NNS the same? - are we in agreement about the salient features of L4? - are we still testing language at this level or something beyond? - how do 4 skills “align” at this level? - how can we develop proficiency tests at L4? (can we?) - where do we find materials to develop L4 tests? - do we need “pool” of native testers for L4 speaking skills?

FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS - WG should continue the collaboration in the future - online, offline, or in conjunction with other events - collect L4 language samples for the norming process - continue to review the L4 conceptual framework document and provide feedback for discussions - If needed, provide “some type of” training on L4 for testers from nations who use L4 testing. - Work closely with the LNA group who will be working with NATO language users.
