Internships: English Language Learning Summer Institute

This is a paid internship for undergraduates. ELL summer interns will produce materials for use on the following standardized tests of English-language proficiency:

  • TOEFL iBT® Test. The TOEFL iBT test is taken by nonnative speakers of English who are planning to apply to a college or university in an English-speaking country.
  • TOEIC® Tests. The TOEIC tests are taken principally by people who need to communicate with both native and nonnative speakers of English in the context of the global workplace.

The work may include:

  • writing items that test knowledge of grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension
  • identifying academic texts that are suitable for testing reading comprehension
  • creating conversations and talks that test listening comprehension
  • developing scenarios and prompts that allow candidates to demonstrate their speaking or writing skills

Time: July 10 through August 18, 2017. Application deadline: January 17, 2017. Here is more info.
