Japanese Language Proficiency Testing

Date: Sunday, September 16th, 2001 Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Chie Yamane

Description:
Language Testing International uses the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI), a standardized procedure for the grobal assessment of functional speaking ability. This means that an OPI is a testing method which measures how well a person speaks a language by comparing their performance of specific language tasks, not with some other person's, but with the criteria for each of ten proficiency levels described in the ACTFL Revised Proficiency Guidelines. The presenter demonstrates how to check the native English interviewee's Japanese Oral Proficiency. Then the presenter will tell the audience how to progress in Japanese oral ability.
