The Exit Interview is an oral interview test to determine if EDUTL 5040 students are qualified to “exit” these courses and move on to EDUTL 5050. Because this exit test serves as a final exam, they are administered during the end of the fifteenth week of the semester.
The Exit Interview is a 15 minute “conversation” with two members of the Spoken English Program staff. The topics of conversation usually include general, non-academic questions which give students the chance to talk informally to the staff members for several minutes. Students are then asked to talk about some of the activities in their EDUTL 5040 class and/or about their field of study.
The interviewers are interested in the pronunciation, fluency, listening comprehension and grammatical accuracy of the students. Success in future coursework requires a solid foundation in these skills.
Note: The test fee for the Exit Interview is $30 (effective April 1, 2024). Students enrolled in EDUTL 5040 will receive detailed payment instructions before the first week of the semester. They must complete the payment by the deadline for adding/dropping courses.
