Test Results

 

The SPEAK Test is evaluated using the rating scale provided.  Students who are considered for an assistantship with direct student contact must have a SPEAK score> 50 in order to have primary instructional responsibility for a class or lab section.  Students who do not earn a SPEAK score > 50 are required to take ENG G020 before retaking the SPEAK test.  A more detailed placement based on the students’ performance on the test is explained in the letter sent to the students’ department/advisor.  View sample letter.

Retesting of the SPEAK Test, with permission from the graduate’s department, is allowed.  The department representative would contact the EAP Program Office (274-2188) asking for an appointment time for a SPEAK Test and would, at that time, tell the EAP Program that this is a retesting student.  There will be an additional $30 fee for the retest.

 

Appeal for Alternative Test Format

 

If the student is still not satisfied with the SPEAK Test Rating, an appeal can be made to the EAP Program Director to begin the appeal process by requesting an alternate test format.  The student, with department permission, can choose to plan and deliver a typical presentation/lecture for the particular class the student would be working with.  The audience of the presentation will be two representatives from the English for Academic Purposes Program and a representative from the graduate student’s department.  This committee of three will evaluate the presentation and determine the student’s placement.
