Popular Post Lusimonia Posted July 7, 2020 at 04:18 PM Popular Post Report Posted July 7, 2020 at 04:18 PM Hi! I am writing to let you know that I am currently offering free ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) OPI(Oral Proficiency Interview) practice opportunities. I am in the process of getting my ACTFL OPI Tester Certification. If you are not familiar with OPI, here is a brief description directly quoted from ACTFL Testing Office: OPI: The ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview, or OPI, is a live 20-30 minute conversation, taking place over the phone, between a trained, certified ACTFL tester and the candidate. It is a valid and reliable test that measures how well a person speaks a language. The procedure is standardized in order to assess global speaking ability, measuring language production holistically by determining patterns of strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the OPI practice test, a rating on your oral proficiency level will be provided following the ACTFL testing protocol and professional standards. Please note that the given rating is neither an advisory rating nor an official rating. If you need an official ACTFL OPI rating, your rating needs to be blindly double rated by an ACTFL Certified Tester under the supervision of the ACTFL Testing Office. Notice only ACTFL, through the ACTFL Testing Office, may issue an Official ACTFL OPI Rating and Certificate. Nevertheless, this practice test will provide you a good opportunity to familiarize yourself with the OPI procedure and practice your spoken Chinese with a native speaker. Also, at the end of the practice interview, I will share my feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of your Chinese and provide my suggestions and advice. If you are interested in taking this OPI practice test, please feel free to contact me by replying to this post. 4 1

Popular Post Flickserve Posted July 13, 2020 at 05:03 PM Popular Post Report Posted July 13, 2020 at 05:03 PM I had my test today. I found it challenging in places especially as in the past few weeks my active and passive exposure to Mandarin has dropped off considerably these last few weeks. My Mandarin is pretty basic as rated by myself. As explained later by @Lusimonia , the test probes your ability in using the language. It was a bit of a surprise to find out that I am intermediate ability and some vocabulary that I use touches on advanced level. However, I feel that I don't have the necessary range of vocabulary to be truly intermediate. After the test finished, we had a discussion on our experiences of language learning which was nice. The test was good for me for generating self motivation. It comes at an appropriate time as social restrictions are being increased quickly in HK. 7 1

jannesan Posted July 20, 2020 at 08:51 AM Report Posted July 20, 2020 at 08:51 AM I'm also interested
jannesan Posted July 27, 2020 at 11:01 AM Report Posted July 27, 2020 at 11:01 AM Did the practice test this morning, I had to answer questions ranging from 'how do I commute to university' to 'what different roles does the family play in different societies'. In the end I got some feedback on mistakes I made and how to advance my speaking abilities to the next level. Overall a good experience, would recommend to others:) (@Lusimonia is looking for more people, especially on Beginner level) 4

杰.克 Posted October 5, 2020 at 09:59 AM Report Posted October 5, 2020 at 09:59 AM I just completed my test with Lucy. Really enjoyed it! Similar to others it is a 30 minute chat, guiding you through increasingly difficult questions. At the end Lucy gives you feedback on your spoken mandarin ability and tips for improving! Thanks Lucy ? 2

Lu Posted December 11, 2020 at 01:58 PM Report Posted December 11, 2020 at 01:58 PM It appears Lucy is no longer offering free tests, so I'll close this thread. Lucy, if you read this and wish to offer them again, send one of the moderators a PM and we'll reopen it. Meanwhile, thanks for providing this opportunity and I hope you got your certification!
