What is the ACTFL OPI?
The OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview), administered under the auspices of Language Testing International, is an assessment of functional speaking ability in the form of a carefully structured conversation between a trained and certified interviewer and the person whose speaking proficiency is being assessed. The test is an internationally recognized, valid and reliable measure that is used to identify the proficiency level of the speaker of the language. The range of levels includes: Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Superior, with the additional gradations of Low, Mid, and High for all levels except Superior.

The OPI is administered as a telephonic interview that can be easily arranged at any of New Jersey’s Regional Testing/Training Centers. When should teacher candidates take the OPI? It is recommended that the Official ACTFL OPI be taken no later than the fall semester o
