In a new exhibit, the Museum of the City of New York is showing how New York City-based artists and creatives working for the federal government’s Division of Pictorial Publicity helped sell World War I to the public.

The ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines are descriptions of what individuals can do with language in terms
of speaking, writing, listening, and reading in real-world situations in a spontaneous and non-rehearsed
context. For each skill, these guidelines identify five major levels of proficiency: Distinguished, Superior,
Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice. The major levels Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice are subdivided
into High, Mid, and Low sublevels. The levels of the ACTFL Guidelines describe the continuum of
proficiency from that of the highly articulate, well-educated language user to a level of little or no
functional ability.

Restricted Use

Rating
0.0 stars

Explore a gallery of images about Abraham Lincoln, his wife Mary Todd, and his assassination. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, the first president from the Republican Party, and the leader of the country during the American Civil War. Lincoln’s firm anti-slavery position led to his Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that slaves living in southern, rebel states were free. His oratorical and writing skills, and firm belief in preserving the future of the Union of the United States, appealed to the best of American ideals. Lincoln served as president from 1861-1865. He was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth in Ford’s Theatre in Washington DC on April 14, 1865.
