Oral Proficiency Interview-Computer (OPIc) Exam Pattern
Oral Proficiency Interview Computer (OPIc) Exam Pattern:
The goal of the OPIc is the same as the OPI: to obtain a ratable sample of speech that a rater can evaluate and compare to the performance against the proficiency levels as per ACTFL Proficiency Guideline. The total time of the test is 40 minutes. The OPIc is delivered by the internet and on any secure tablet/computer that meets the minimum technical specifications.
OPIc Interviewer:
An avatar figure that personifies the OPIc interviewer is called AVA. Ava ask questions to candidates and they respond to her. Having Ava's picture on the screen helps in engaging in the conversation and Ava mimics a one-on-one conversation with a native speaker of the target language.
- Content:
Before the OPIc is conducted test takers complete two tasks i.e. a Background Survey and a Self Assessment. A full overview and explanation of OPIc procedures and a sample test question is also provided to the test taker. The instructions regarding the test is delivered in the test taker's native language.
-
The Background Survey provide information about the test taker's work, school, home, personal activities, and interests.
-
The Self-Assessment give different descriptions of how well a person can speak a language.
-
The purpose of these two tasks is to assure the test takers that OPIc target their range of ability and provides questions on topics familiar to them.
Request for an OPIc can be made in two ways:
- By an Organisation:-
-
A free account is set up with Language Testing International.
-
OPIc then provides a secure web-based scheduling utility. Using this utility, the organisation can request assessments, track requests, confirm appointments and see results.
-
Because the OPIc is internet-based, organisations can arrange for candidates to take the assessment in a proctored setting at any time. A computer or tablet meeting the specifications in an appropriate test environment is all a candidate need.
-
Remotely proctored tests must be completed on a computer with a webcam and microphone.
- By an Individual:-
-
Individuals wanting to test and certify their speaking ability can order and take an OPIc by ordering a Language Proficiency Certificate.
-
The test is taken through a computer having an internet connection, webcam, headset with earphones, and microphone and LTI's remote proctoring services proctor the test.
