ACTFL –Oral Proficiency Tester Training Workshop

[Jason Merrill]

Dear Seelangers,

I'd like to call your attention to the ACTFL – Oral Proficiency Tester
Training Workshop that will be held July 8-11 at Middlebury College:

http://www.actfl.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3354

The ACTFL OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) Tester Training Workshop is an
intensive four-day professional development experience that instructs
language educators in the theory and practice of assessing a student's
spoken language competencies.  The training combines general lecture with
language‑specific, small group sessions. During the OPI Tester Training
Workshop, the ACTFL rating scale and techniques for elicitation of a
ratable speech sample are highlighted in general lectures and are
reinforced in language-specific breakout sessions.  Live-practice
interviews of student volunteers are the heart of the training. Each
workshop participant conducts several live interviews and receives
extensive feedback on elicitation and rating.  Following the workshop,
participants are eligible to pursue OPI tester certification.
