ACTFL Speaking Assessment: The Oral Proficiency Interview - computer® (OPIc)

Beginning Autumn 2022, the Department of Spanish & Portuguese at OSU will offer graduating majors the opportunity to take the OPIc to measure their level of proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese (one time, $73 value).

The ACTFL OPIc is an internet-delivered test that provides valid and reliable oral proficiency testing on a large scale. It obtains a sample of speech which a rater can evaluate and compare to the performance against the proficiency levels described in ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines 2012 – Speaking. The results of this exam can be used in a variety of professional and educational fields. For complete information about the OPIc, please the official ACTFL Speaking Assessment: The Oral Proficiency Interview - computer® (OPIc) page for FAQs.

If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please fill in all required sections of the form below and submit.
