	ILR scale -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) scale is a set of descriptions of abilities to communicate in a language.
		Elementary proficiency is the first level in the scale.
		Native or bilingual proficiency is the fifth level in the scale.

	Proficiency Scales
		A proficiency scale is a set of descriptions of what you can do in a language.
		Proficiency scales are useful in the following ways: to decide what to aim for to know when you achieve your goals.
		The scale describes all four language skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) and has more divisions in the lower levels.

	Double Bars I: Morphology and Dynamics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the cases where double bars are seen in the CO maps, the small scale nuclear bars very closely resemble existing simulations and observations of large scale bars seen in the disks of regular barred galaxies.
		This is similar in structure to the large scale bars seen in other galaxies, where there is a pile up of molecular gas at the ends of the large scale bar (near the Corotation Resonance radius), as well as a central concentration that is likely the result of inflow along the bar.
		This is important because is suggests that both large scale bars and nuclear bars behave in similar ways, except that the outer Corotation Resonance of the nuclear bar, happens to be at the same radius as the Inner Lindblad Resonance of the large scale bar.

	Simulated Oral Proficiency Interviews. ERIC Digest.
		The OPI is used by government agencies belonging to the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) and by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) to assess general speaking proficiency in a second language (Liskin-Gasparro, 1987).
		The latter score is equivalent to a rating between 3+ and 5 on the ILR scale.
		Similarly, the semi-direct format of the test does not permit the extensive probing that may be necessary to distinguish between the highest levels of proficiency on the ILR scale, such as levels 4, 4+, and 5.

	International Lambdoma Research Institute
		In this case the Lissajous figures were computer generated by a trigonometric arc-tangent program, which also included a color-coded 9 by 12 matrix based upon the fundamental frequency of 480 cps of the color purple, which we would hear as a B in music.
		The reference octave is designed to define the frequencies, in a middle range octave, of the overtone and undertone scales using as fundamentals 32 cps for overtones and 4096 cps; for undertones and to show the differences between the ascending and the descending scales of the Lambdoma.
		The scale is very similar to the Indian Saraswati scale, with the exception of being 8 rather than seven notes.

	ILR Scale (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The testing "breakthrough" conceived of by FSI in response to this problem was the elaboration of a set of verbal descriptions defining six levels of general language proficiency, ranging from no functional proficiency in the language (Level 0) up to proficiency equivalent in all respects to that of an educated native speaker (Level 5).
		This was intended and designed to reflect, as closely as possible, the language behaviors at issue in real-life communicative interchange, and at the same time to gather sufficient relevant information about the examinee's speaking abilities in the target language to permit the accurate "mapping" of the observed performance onto the verbal level descriptions.
		In addition to broadly disseminating the generic (non language-specific) scale through its publications and other mechanisms, ACTFL subsequently developed a series of language-specific level descriptions for both commonly and less-commonly taught languages, with the assistance of committees of high school and college instructors and other resource persons in these languages.

		While the ILR OPI was designed solely for use in government settings, the ACTFL OPI and its guidelines were developed for use in public schools, colleges, and universities (Fulcher, 1996).
		The ILR scale was developed empirically and consequently has an extensive history proving its reliability as an accurate evaluative task (Magnan, 1987, p.
		The Superior level correlates to an approximate rating of three on the ILR OPI scale, and it is the only level on the ACTFL scale that is not sub-divided (Breiner-Sanders et al., 1999).

		THE SCALES AND LEVELS I will now provide the scales (government and academic) so that you can see where this program and you fit within the system.
		When the academic scale was developed, it was assumed that, if any Americans attained such high levels of competence in a second language, it would probably not be within the educational system; they therefore did not deal with the two highest categories.

		This would give the regulator the power to prevent a change of control, if it seems that such a change would be prejudicial to the principles of section 105 of the 1990 Broadcasting Act (or its equivalent in any new legislation) on the basis of which the licence was originally issued.
		The existing power under section 86(7) of the 1990 Act to withhold consent to a transfer unless satisfied that the new owner will be able to comply with all the existing conditions of a licence should, for the new regulator, be extended to all changes of control.
		Given the wide range of small scale services already established by the Authority, and the progress which has been made with long-term Restricted Service Licences as well as the widely used and highly effective short-term Restricted Service Licence scheme, the Authority does not feel justified in initiating any such experiments at this stage.
