In June, Fatima Cornwall was invited by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) to be part of a 12-person expert panel for a standard-setting project in Arlington, Virginia.

This work group, comprised of linguists, professors, translators and U.S. Air Force officers, was tasked with creating scoring protocol for a test of Portuguese-European listening proficiency. The test is being developed by the Defense Language Institute on behalf of the U.S. government.
