Advanced Language Proficiency (ALP)Bibliography. We began to develop and compile a searchable bibliographic database that contains references on a wide variety of aspects and features addressing the development of advanced language proficiency. It is our hope that language professionals find the database a valuable tool when trying to locate research and non-commercial materials on ALP. If you have comments or would like to suggest a reference for potential inclusion in the database, please contact Gabriela Appel Go to CALPER's ALP Searchable Bibliography 10.29.07 | |
