ACTFL OPI Workshop in Fall '97

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear Colleagues:

This message is a reminder that ACTFL, the American Council on the Teaching
of Foreign Languages, is sponsoring a workshop from 9/24-9/27 to train
people to administer the oral proficiency interview.  The workshop will be
held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and will have a
section dedicated to people training to administer the OPI in Russian and a
section dedicated to people training to administer the OPI in less commonly
taught languages (including Czech, Polish, Serbo-Croatian, Hungarian,
Romanian, Slovenian, and other languages represented by AATSEEL).  These
sections will be run only if there is sufficient enrollment.  The deadline
to register is August 15.  For more information, contact

Denise Morrison at ACTFL:  tel. 914/963-8830
                        e-mail:  dmmactfl at aol.com


With best wishes to all,

Ben Rifkin
