ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI)

All language teaching majors and teaching minors must receive the required rating* on an official ACTFL for graduation and licensing. To register for the OPI, contact the Center for Language Studies in 3086 JFSB or at (801) 422-1201. You must provide Education Advisement Center in 175 MCKB with a copy of your OPI rating report in order to graduate and be licensed.

  • Students with a language teaching major who do not receive the required rating on the OPI must change to a non-teaching major.
  • Students with a language teaching minor or a DLI minor who do not obtain the required rating on the OPI must drop the minor.
