Abstract

Self-ratings of second-language proficiency were collected from 168 bilinguals. Ratings of comprehension skills were higher than racings of production skills. The highest mean rating was obtained for listening (understanding spoken language), followed by reading, speaking, and writing, with the over-all proficiency in the language falling in the mid-die. The over-all self-rated proficiency was most closely linked to the rating of speaking proficiency ( r = 88), which seems to be related to the high social relevance of speaking skills in a nondominant language.
