Modern Language Secondary Education programs require that all candidates score at the Advanced Low level or higher on the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Language Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) in their language major/the language they intend to teach. In order to be admitted to the Methods II course, students must demonstrate having attained a rating of at least the Advanced Low proficiency level on the OPI. Post-baccalaureate teacher certification program students must score at this level prior to admission to Modern Language Secondary Education programs. Given this requirement, it is important that students take advantage of study abroad experiences that will assist them in reaching high levels of second language proficiency. For information on UW study abroad opportunities, contact the International Programs office at 766-3677, or consult their web site at www.uwyo.edu/intprograms.
