| Objective 2 of 9: The Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program provides academic year and summer fellowships to institutions of higher education to assist graduate students in foreign language and either area or international studies. |
| Indicator 2.1 of 3: Improved language competency: Average competency score of FLAS Fellowship recipients at the end of one full year of instruction will be at least one competency level higher than their average score at the beginning of the year. |
Source: ELLIAS,FLAS Annual and Final Reports from the EELIAS performance reporting system Web Site: http://www.eelias.org. Frequency: Annually. Next Data Available: November 2006 Explanation: Overall change in the language competency self-assessment reflects a mix of different levels of improvement at all stages (beginner, intermediate, advanced) of the three modalities of language acquisition that the assessment measures (reading, writing, speaking). Beginning language students may be expected to make larger advances over a given time period (and therefore have larger change scores) than more advanced students. A target value of 1.20 for change over the year reflects an ambitious overall goal for the program. |
