Subject:  English Proficiency Test - ITEM WRITING
 
The Society for Testing English Proficiency (Tokyo, Japan) is
commissioning writers to construct test items in a variety of formats
for English proficiency tests.  Employment is on a semi-contractual,
part-time basis, so university students are especially encouraged to
inquire.
 
        No experience is necessary, but solid English composition
skills and an interest in second language pedagogy are essential (for
example, English and Philosophy majors).
