SUMMER OPI LOCATION AND DATES COMING SOON! PLEASE CHECK BACK.

ACTFL Sponsored workshops are held twice a year at various locations around the country. The fall workshop always precedes the November convention and we also offer a summer OPI during the month of July. Location and dates of the summer OPI workshop series will be posted on our website after the New Year.

OPI ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP (4 DAYS)

The ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) Assessment Workshop is a four-day professional development workshop designed to introduce language educators to the Oral Proficiency Interview, the ACTFL rating scale, and the techniques for conducting and rating oral proficiency interviews.

In daily plenary presentations, participants address general concepts and strategies for oral proficiency testing. This information is then reinforced and practiced in language-specific break-out sessions by observing model interviews, participating in hands-on rating activities, and conducting and rating live practice interviews. These practice interviews and ratings are discussed and critiqued in the language-specific groups. Following the workshop, eligible participants may pursue OPI Tester Certification.
