Feasibility Standards for Communicative Skills: Final Report for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command

Abstract

An investigation was conducted to determine the feasibility of using existing instruments to measure the communicative skills proficiencies (writing, speaking, and listening) of Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) to the Army's standards. The literature was reviewed with an emphasis on issues associated with testing in general and proceeded to the specific areas of writing, speaking, and listening. Support was found for the interrelatedness of these skills (the 'whole language' approach). However, it is a complex relationship, and there remain considerable differences between the three models.
