Subject:Item writers needed for Arabic Proficiency Test

American Councils for International Education (AC) is seeking item
writers to develop multiple-choice questions for online Arabic
proficiency tests.

We are trying to identify Arabic language specialists who

·         are at least a level 2+ on the ILR Proficiency Scale or even
a native speaker of  Arabic
·         are familiar with  proficiency scales (either ACTFL or ILR)
·         are trained in language proficiency testing or teaching
(hands-on training is a possibility)
·         have used proficiency considerations in teaching or research
(desirable but not obligatory)
·         have experience and/or interest in developing test questions
in English on Arabic prompts
·         will find appropriate online stimulus oral and written
prompts on which to base multiple-choice questions


We hope you find such an involvement with AC interesting and will
decide to send us a short resume. All submissions will receive further
information about possible assignments, payments and schedules.  In
advance, thank you.

Please email your inquiries and submissions to:

Inessa Ach (Itemwriting at americancouncils.org)
