Spanish Major B.A.E.

Print Plan of Study (opens a new window) |

Students in the Spanish B.A.Ed. degree program must participate in and complete the assessment plan described in the Spanish Portfolio Handbook. The plan includes baseline and midterm evaluations of speaking and writing proficiency and also various assessments to meet NCATE mandates. The handbook is available from the Spanish faculty. These requirements are in addition to the assessment requirements of the College of Education.

As part of these assessment requirements, students in the Spanish B.A.Ed. degree program must complete an Official ACTFL OPI (Oral Proficiency Interview) exam before they will be allowed to begin their full internship. Students are expected to demonstrate an ACTFL proficiency rating of Advanced-Low on the OPI. Students who do not obtain a rating of at least Intermediate-High will not be placed in a school to begin their full internship until they are able to show such a rating. There is a fee associated with the OPI and the OPI is currently administered by an outside agency. Please see the Spanish faculty for more information.
