The Provincial Grade 12 French Second Language Oral Proficiency Assessment is
administered each year to provide students with their proficiency level and to track
system progress. Students are assessed either at the end of the first or second
semester.
The method used to rate students’ speaking proficiency is the individual oral proficiency
interview (OPI). During the interview, the evaluator elicits a language sample that is
rated using the criteria of the New Brunswick Oral Proficiency Scale (see appendix).
Students receive a certificate indicating their oral proficiency level.
