TRKI Russian proficiency testing certification workshop

[Michael Newcity]

On August 1-7, the Duke Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European
Studies, in collaboration with the University of Chicago Center for East
European and Russian/Eurasian Studies, will sponsor a Russian proficiency
testing certification workshop.   At this workshop, Russian language
instructors will be trained and certified as Russian language proficiency
testers by a TRKI [тестирование русского как иностранного] examiner.  TRKI
is the Russian Federation language proficiency testing system for five areas
of linguistic competence (aural comprehension, reading, writing, speaking
and grammar/lexicon) developed and administered by the Russian Ministry of
Education and Science.  At previous workshops, faculty from Indiana
University, University of Arizona, University of North Carolina, and Duke
have completed the certification process and became qualified to conduct
TRKI proficiency testing at all levels. 

Participating Russian language instructors will be responsible for their
transportation and accommodations, but there are no registration or other
similar fees for participating in the workshop. 

On October 13, 2007, CSEEES will sponsor a program devoted to "Best
Practices in Proficiency Testing: Slavic and Eurasian Languages."  Further
information will be sent out about this program in the near future.
