From: https://aelrc.georgetown.edu/resources/research-briefs/ipic-research-brief/

Introduction: "Developed as a partnership with the Center for Applied Second Language Studies (CASLS) at the University of Oregon, the Intercultural Pragmatic Interactional Competence (IPIC) measure assesses second and foreign language learners’ pragmatic, interactional, and intercultural competence. The IPIC framework is designed as a synthesis of skills deemed most critical for learning interventions and the development of assessment measures: knowledge, analysis, subjectivity, and awareness. Using digital simulations and authentic scenarios with varying degrees of social and individual factors, IPIC reflects the ​individualized and consequential nature of the multilingual and multicultural interactions (Sykes, 2016; Sykes, Malone, Forrest & Sağdıç, in press). Learners’ performance will be measured based on skills in each domain and will align with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) National Council of State Supervisors of Foreign Languages (NCSSFL) Can-Do statements."
