The purpose of this article is to provide a review of current research on two of the original ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) research priorities areas, model teacher preparation programs and teacher oral proficiency, as well as a look at future directions for research in these areas. Driven by the call for continued research in the original articles, this article lays the foundation for future research on effective world language (WL) teacher preparation programs. Despite the premise from the original articles and the growth of teacher preparation programs built around the ACTFL/CAEP Standards, further research is necessary to fully realize the effects of teacher's proficiency levels on teacher effectiveness and student outcomes.

世界语言教师准备方面的问题：ACTFL / CAEP标准和口语水平

本文的目的是提供对两个原始ACTFL（美国外语教学理事会）研究重点领域，模型教师准备计划和教师口语能力的最新研究的回顾，并展望未来的方向在这些领域进行研究。在对原始文章进行持续研究的呼吁的驱使下，本文为有效的世界语言（WL）教师预备课程的未来研究奠定了基础。尽管有原始文章的前提和围绕ACTFL / CAEP标准建立的教师准备计划的增长，但仍需要进一步研究以充分认识教师的熟练程度对教师的效能和学生成绩的影响。
