Avant Assessment, a leader in online language proficiency tests (http://www.avantassessment.com/) and partnered with the University of Oregon’s Center for Applied Second Language Studies (http://casls.uoregon.edu/pages/about/partners.php).
The company has available
several short-term (~6-8 weeks) contractor positions for Amharic native
speakers, and we are especially interested in working with individuals
with a native speaking background.
Avant
Assessment creates foreign language tests, primarily for languages that
are not commonly taught in the United States. We are currently hiring
several contractor Target Language Experts (TLEs) to work with us on a
Amharic proficiency test. When we create a test in a foreign language,
our Target Language Experts provide us with the language samples that
will go into the test. These so-called “passages” are (fairly short)
audio pieces or written texts such as news articles, short interviews,
radio advertisements, dialogues, etc. Some of these passages may be
authentic samples collected from various online and offline sources, but
TLEs will also create their own passages, based on scenarios we
provide. Part of the work is also to translate the passages into
English.
Our
company is based in Eugene, Oregon, but all work can be done online and
according to the TLE’s own schedule. The TLEs can reside anywhere in
the world as long as they have access to a high-speed Internet
connection. The estimated workload for this project is 4-12 hours per
week, depending on your availability and pay is $40 - $160 per passage,
depending on passage difficulty level and domain (reading/listening).
If
you are interested in participating in this project, please do not
hesitate to contact Richard Charboneau or Salahadin Seid.
