GSI OET Examiners
Speaking test evaluators needed for the University of Michigan GSI OET—an excellent opportunity to gain insights and practical experience in the field of language assessment.

Evaluators facilitate test administration in compliance with set Michigan Language Assessment protocols, score test taker performance in accordance with set rating scale criteria, set up audio-recording equipment, and pick up and return testing materials to Michigan Language Assessment offices.
