ACCORDING TO MODES OF COMMUNICATION
The three modes of communication provide the organizing principle for describing language performance across three
ranges of performance: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were developed for
purposes of assessment across four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and originated prior to the
Standards. The 2012 revision of the Proficiency Guidelines considers how each skill is used, for example, describing both
interpersonal and presentational aspects of speaking. The Performance Descriptors embrace the communicative
purpose behind the three modes of communication, describing how a language learner performs to achieve each
communicative purpose: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The language functions are appropriately
matched to the mode of communication (e.g., in the Intermediate range, a hallmark function for Interpersonal is the
ability to ask, understand, and answer questions; for Interpretive, a key function is to comprehend main ideas and
identify some supporting details; for Presentational, an essential function is the ability to present information by
creating with language). One can also observe significant differences in the communication strategies that language
learners use in each of the modes.
Interpersonal
Active negotiation of meaning
among individuals
Participants observe and monitor
one another to see how their
meanings and intentions are being
communicated.
Adjustments and clarifications are
made accordingly.
Speaking and listening
(conversation); reading and writing
(text messages or via social media)
Interpretive
Interpretation of what the author,
speaker, or producer wants the
receiver of the message to
understand
One-way communication with no
recourse to the active negotiation of
meaning with the writer, speaker, or
producer
Interpretation differs from
comprehension and translation
in that interpretation implies
the ability to read (or listen
or view) “between the lines,”
including understanding from
within the cultural mindset or
perspective
Reading (websites, stories, articles),
listening (speeches, messages,
songs), or viewing (video clips) of
authentic materials
Presentational
Creation of messages
One-way communication intended
to facilitate interpretation by
members of the other culture where
no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between
members of the two cultures exists.
To ensure the intended audience is
successful in its interpretation, the
“presenter” needs knowledge of the
audience’s language and culture
Writing (messages, articles,
reports), speaking (telling a story,
giving a speech, describing a
poster), or visually representing
(video or PowerPoint)

ACCORDING TO MODES OF COMMUNICATION
The three modes of communication provide the organizing principle for describing language performance across three
ranges of performance: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were developed for
purposes of assessment across four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and originated prior to the
Standards. The 2012 revision of the Proficiency Guidelines considers how each skill is used, for example, describing both
interpersonal and presentational aspects of speaking. The Performance Descriptors embrace the communicative
purpose behind the three modes of communication, describing how a language learner performs to achieve each
communicative purpose: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The language functions are appropriately
matched to the mode of communication (e.g., in the Intermediate range, a hallmark function for Interpersonal is the
ability to ask, understand, and answer questions; for Interpretive, a key function is to comprehend main ideas and
identify some supporting details; for Presentational, an essential function is the ability to present information by
creating with language). One can also observe significant differences in the communication strategies that language
learners use in each of the modes.
Interpersonal
Active negotiation of meaning
among individuals
Participants observe and monitor
one another to see how their
meanings and intentions are being
communicated.
Adjustments and clarifications are
made accordingly.
Speaking and listening
(conversation); reading and writing
(text messages or via social media)
Interpretive
Interpretation of what the author,
speaker, or producer wants the
receiver of the message to
understand
One-way communication with no
recourse to the active negotiation of
meaning with the writer, speaker, or
producer
Interpretation differs from
comprehension and translation
in that interpretation implies
the ability to read (or listen
or view) “between the lines,”
including understanding from
within the cultural mindset or
perspective
Reading (websites, stories, articles),
listening (speeches, messages,
songs), or viewing (video clips) of
authentic materials
Presentational
Creation of messages
One-way communication intended
to facilitate interpretation by
members of the other culture where
no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between
members of the two cultures exists.
To ensure the intended audience is
successful in its interpretation, the
“presenter” needs knowledge of the
audience’s language and culture
Writing (messages, articles,
reports), speaking (telling a story,
giving a speech, describing a
poster), or visually representing
(video or PowerPoint)

ACCORDING TO MODES OF COMMUNICATION
The three modes of communication provide the organizing principle for describing language performance across three
ranges of performance: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were developed for
purposes of assessment across four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and originated prior to the
Standards. The 2012 revision of the Proficiency Guidelines considers how each skill is used, for example, describing both
interpersonal and presentational aspects of speaking. The Performance Descriptors embrace the communicative
purpose behind the three modes of communication, describing how a language learner performs to achieve each
communicative purpose: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The language functions are appropriately
matched to the mode of communication (e.g., in the Intermediate range, a hallmark function for Interpersonal is the
ability to ask, understand, and answer questions; for Interpretive, a key function is to comprehend main ideas and
identify some supporting details; for Presentational, an essential function is the ability to present information by
creating with language). One can also observe significant differences in the communication strategies that language
learners use in each of the modes.
Interpersonal
Active negotiation of meaning
among individuals
Participants observe and monitor
one another to see how their
meanings and intentions are being
communicated.
Adjustments and clarifications are
made accordingly.
Speaking and listening
(conversation); reading and writing
(text messages or via social media)
Interpretive
Interpretation of what the author,
speaker, or producer wants the
receiver of the message to
understand
One-way communication with no
recourse to the active negotiation of
meaning with the writer, speaker, or
producer
Interpretation differs from
comprehension and translation
in that interpretation implies
the ability to read (or listen
or view) “between the lines,”
including understanding from
within the cultural mindset or
perspective
Reading (websites, stories, articles),
listening (speeches, messages,
songs), or viewing (video clips) of
authentic materials
Presentational
Creation of messages
One-way communication intended
to facilitate interpretation by
members of the other culture where
no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between
members of the two cultures exists.
To ensure the intended audience is
successful in its interpretation, the
“presenter” needs knowledge of the
audience’s language and culture
Writing (messages, articles,
reports), speaking (telling a story,
giving a speech, describing a
poster), or visually representing
(video or PowerPoint)

ACCORDING TO MODES OF COMMUNICATION
The three modes of communication provide the organizing principle for describing language performance across three
ranges of performance: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were developed for
purposes of assessment across four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and originated prior to the
Standards. The 2012 revision of the Proficiency Guidelines considers how each skill is used, for example, describing both
interpersonal and presentational aspects of speaking. The Performance Descriptors embrace the communicative
purpose behind the three modes of communication, describing how a language learner performs to achieve each
communicative purpose: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The language functions are appropriately
matched to the mode of communication (e.g., in the Intermediate range, a hallmark function for Interpersonal is the
ability to ask, understand, and answer questions; for Interpretive, a key function is to comprehend main ideas and
identify some supporting details; for Presentational, an essential function is the ability to present information by
creating with language). One can also observe significant differences in the communication strategies that language
learners use in each of the modes.
Interpersonal
Active negotiation of meaning
among individuals
Participants observe and monitor
one another to see how their
meanings and intentions are being
communicated.
Adjustments and clarifications are
made accordingly.
Speaking and listening
(conversation); reading and writing
(text messages or via social media)
Interpretive
Interpretation of what the author,
speaker, or producer wants the
receiver of the message to
understand
One-way communication with no
recourse to the active negotiation of
meaning with the writer, speaker, or
producer
Interpretation differs from
comprehension and translation
in that interpretation implies
the ability to read (or listen
or view) “between the lines,”
including understanding from
within the cultural mindset or
perspective
Reading (websites, stories, articles),
listening (speeches, messages,
songs), or viewing (video clips) of
authentic materials
Presentational
Creation of messages
One-way communication intended
to facilitate interpretation by
members of the other culture where
no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between
members of the two cultures exists.
To ensure the intended audience is
successful in its interpretation, the
“presenter” needs knowledge of the
audience’s language and culture
Writing (messages, articles,
reports), speaking (telling a story,
giving a speech, describing a
poster), or visually representing
(video or PowerPoint)

ACCORDING TO MODES OF COMMUNICATION
The three modes of communication provide the organizing principle for describing language performance across three
ranges of performance: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were developed for
purposes of assessment across four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and originated prior to the
Standards. The 2012 revision of the Proficiency Guidelines considers how each skill is used, for example, describing both
interpersonal and presentational aspects of speaking. The Performance Descriptors embrace the communicative
purpose behind the three modes of communication, describing how a language learner performs to achieve each
communicative purpose: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The language functions are appropriately
matched to the mode of communication (e.g., in the Intermediate range, a hallmark function for Interpersonal is the
ability to ask, understand, and answer questions; for Interpretive, a key function is to comprehend main ideas and
identify some supporting details; for Presentational, an essential function is the ability to present information by
creating with language). One can also observe significant differences in the communication strategies that language
learners use in each of the modes.
Interpersonal
Active negotiation of meaning
among individuals
Participants observe and monitor
one another to see how their
meanings and intentions are being
communicated.
Adjustments and clarifications are
made accordingly.
Speaking and listening
(conversation); reading and writing
(text messages or via social media)
Interpretive
Interpretation of what the author,
speaker, or producer wants the
receiver of the message to
understand
One-way communication with no
recourse to the active negotiation of
meaning with the writer, speaker, or
producer
Interpretation differs from
comprehension and translation
in that interpretation implies
the ability to read (or listen
or view) “between the lines,”
including understanding from
within the cultural mindset or
perspective
Reading (websites, stories, articles),
listening (speeches, messages,
songs), or viewing (video clips) of
authentic materials
Presentational
Creation of messages
One-way communication intended
to facilitate interpretation by
members of the other culture where
no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between
members of the two cultures exists.
To ensure the intended audience is
successful in its interpretation, the
“presenter” needs knowledge of the
audience’s language and culture
Writing (messages, articles,
reports), speaking (telling a story,
giving a speech, describing a
poster), or visually representing
(video or PowerPoint)

ACCORDING TO MODES OF COMMUNICATION
The three modes of communication provide the organizing principle for describing language performance across three
ranges of performance: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced. The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines were developed for
purposes of assessment across four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) and originated prior to the
Standards. The 2012 revision of the Proficiency Guidelines considers how each skill is used, for example, describing both
interpersonal and presentational aspects of speaking. The Performance Descriptors embrace the communicative
purpose behind the three modes of communication, describing how a language learner performs to achieve each
communicative purpose: interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational. The language functions are appropriately
matched to the mode of communication (e.g., in the Intermediate range, a hallmark function for Interpersonal is the
ability to ask, understand, and answer questions; for Interpretive, a key function is to comprehend main ideas and
identify some supporting details; for Presentational, an essential function is the ability to present information by
creating with language). One can also observe significant differences in the communication strategies that language
learners use in each of the modes.
Interpersonal
Active negotiation of meaning
among individuals
Participants observe and monitor
one another to see how their
meanings and intentions are being
communicated.
Adjustments and clarifications are
made accordingly.
Speaking and listening
(conversation); reading and writing
(text messages or via social media)
Interpretive
Interpretation of what the author,
speaker, or producer wants the
receiver of the message to
understand
One-way communication with no
recourse to the active negotiation of
meaning with the writer, speaker, or
producer
Interpretation differs from
comprehension and translation
in that interpretation implies
the ability to read (or listen
or view) “between the lines,”
including understanding from
within the cultural mindset or
perspective
Reading (websites, stories, articles),
listening (speeches, messages,
songs), or viewing (video clips) of
authentic materials
Presentational
Creation of messages
One-way communication intended
to facilitate interpretation by
members of the other culture where
no direct opportunity for the active
negotiation of meaning between
members of the two cultures exists.
To ensure the intended audience is
successful in its interpretation, the
“presenter” needs knowledge of the
audience’s language and culture
Writing (messages, articles,
reports), speaking (telling a story,
giving a speech, describing a
poster), or visually representing
(video or PowerPoint)
