Teaching takes place in Shanghai in short intensive blocks , in the School of Foreign Languages at SJTU , which also provides administrative and learning support ( e.g . The School of Foreign Languages consists of the Department of Basic English and the Department of Modern Languages . The oral proficiency skills of students in the redesigned course were tested in reading and listening using assessments designed around guidelines from the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages . My visit to the School of Foreign Languages at UB was very beneficial and we discussed with Professor Albornoz several collaborative efforts between MCLL and the department she leads at the UB . In the near future , the School of Foreign Languages is planning to provide an environment for delivering courses using the World Wide Web as a distance education medium . An initial determination of English language competence may be made through administration of the Nelson-Denny reading examination requiring a passing score in English equivalent to grade level 10.7 and an oral proficiency interview in the English language described by the American Council on Teachers of Foreign Languages ( ACTFL ) with an oral proficiency rating of 2 + . Moreover , our investment in the infrastructure of the writing lab was minimal compared to the investment of infrastructure in the language labs of Foreign Languages , and the Writing Lab itself is currently too small to meet growing needs . However , the examples of model programs and master teachers at different educational levels show us that our vision , as reflected in the IPSB Standards for Teachers of Foreign Languages , is not only realistic but it is also desirable , if Indiana schools are to offer the best possible education to our children . As the “ Voice of Foreign Languages ” for the state of North Carolina , the Alliance for Language Learning actively advocates on issues relating to foreign language education . Indiana ’ s collaborative agreement with France coincides with the state ’ s participation in the 2005 Year of Languages campaign sponsored by the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages . English Proficiency Exams for newly admitted undergraduate students , students who want to be admitted to graduate programs , transfer candidates and special students are administered by the School of Foreign Languages . Wang is professor of Chinese cultural studies , and the head of Foreign Languages & Literatures at MIT .
