Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate Korean test-takers’ perceptions on ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines and Oral Proficiency Interview-computer rubrics, and to understand Korean examinees’ beliefs regarding OPIc preparation and test results currently in use. The source of data for this research is a questionnaire filled in by test-takers. Results are presented in the following categories: ACTFL and ACTFL proficiency guidelines, OPIc in general, OPIc rubrics and test items, OPIc criteria, OPIc test preparation, OPIc tests in use, and English speaking tests. It was found that Korean examinees did not have enough information on ACTFL, proficiency levels, OPI and proficiency movement, although they had positive perceptions regarding OPIc rubrics. It is suggested that test-takers need to acquire sufficient information on ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines and OPIc preparation and speaking strategies from the test institution. (Chung-Ang University)
