WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

Ready-to-use proficiency and authentic assessment activities make teaching easier.  Students are highly motivated as they learn by communicating with each other. Proficiency Press materials are extremely valuable professional tools for second language teachers who are implementing the National Standards.

C’est Ton Tour requires students to use Spanish/French in meaningful situations which involve all four skills. Because of the practical and realistic nature of the activities, students become actively involved in accomplishing the required communicative tasks. The extensive cultural information found in the activities makes them even more valuable.

Tocca a Te is a fine collection of activities for students of Italian at the most introductory level.  It helps to develop core vocabulary and improve proficiency in the four skills.

Gerard Russo, Review for Italica (AATI Journal)

Seguimi would be a very useful and welcome addition to any language program since it encourages development of the four skills … The book is replete with authentic materials from which exercises are derived… the final section of each unit, “Tocca a Te Parlare”, provides creative topics for discussion amongst the students using the ideas, themes, and vocabulary developed in the chapter…

My students really enjoy working with Proficiency Press materials, especially the real-life activities.  After using these books, I am confident that my students are well prepared for the New York State Proficiency Exam.

The topical, ‘real-world’ approach of Authentic Assessment for the Intermediate Level has made my job and students’ learning so much easier.  All of my students did extremely well on the state exam.

I just love your books!  They were so helpful to me when I was creating my exams.  I just had to buy a copy for myself. Thank you!

I thought I was in heaven when I discovered your books.  It’s all there:  thematic vocabulary, cooperative activities, cultural appreciation, authentic assessment, and lesson aims.  Clear and straightforward, these are wonderful resources, which save teachers many hours of preparation time
