Please provide your responses to the following sections:

Write an explanation of how the proposed SIG fits within the mission and vision of ACTFL and its strategic plan.

The explanation should include the evidence that no other SIG current meets the needs that will be addressed by the proposed SIG, specifically including why the creation of a new SIG, rather than a focus group within an existing SIG is warranted (e.g. is the score broad enough to warrant a separate SIG?)

Show evidence that the petitioners represent an active and functionally unitary interest of a group of ACTFL members (please upload supporting documents below)

Demonstrate the relevant body of knowledge for the topic, as available within the profession and based upon the scholarly and scientific literature and other resources as appropriate (discussions on the Community, articles in TLE/FLA, Convention sessions)

Define the mission, vision, and specific purpose of the proposed SIG
