TitleSeeking Turkish Language Consultants
Body
Avant Assessment is seeking speakers of Turkish with experience in teaching and/or assessment to participate in the production of a high level reading proficiency assessment in that language. The ideal candidate for this work will possess some or all of the following abilities and/or experience:
1) Native or near native ability with Turkish. If Turkish is not your native language, it would be best if you had spent at least 4 years in Turkey, preferably attending university.
2) Theoretical and working knowledge of the ILR Scale is desired, but not required.
3) Test item writing experience in a professional assessment (non-classroom) setting is also desired, but not required.
4) Good ability with English – ILR Level 3 or higher

This is a part time, telecommute position. You will be collaborating via internet and telephone with linguists and assessment professionals to develop test items from complex passages. You must have ready access to the internet, preferably a high speed connection, and you must be available to work during normal working hours in the USA - approximately 1500 GMT to 0200 GMT.

We will provide you with instruction and guidance from top people in the field of language assessment. You will be paid for all the time you spend working on this project, including training sessions, collaborating sessions, and independent work time.

Please send your CV or resume to greg.butler@avantassessment.com if you are interested in participating in our Turkish project.
