Dear Colleagues,
At the end of Fall semester, the on-campus test used to assess the spoken English proficiency of prospective international teaching assistants (EPI) will move from the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) to the Department of Linguistics. While the test itself will remain the same, the name will be changed to Oral English Assessment Interview (OEAI) to prevent confusion between it and the English Placement Test (EPT), which is also housed in the Department of Linguistics.
Registration for the upcoming pre-semester January testing period will open in early December. Department contacts for the exam will be sent additional information in the coming weeks. Questions regarding OEAI may be directed to Dr. Xun Yan and Dr. Rurik Tywoniw at oeai-illinois@illinois.edu.
Sincerely,
Kevin Jackson
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education
