The work requires verbal precision and sensitivity to nuance, analytic skill, attention to detail, and receptiveness to instruction. Interns must have a very high degree of fluency in English but do not need to be native speakers, nor do they need to be U.S. citizens. TOEFL, TOEIC, and K-12 English language assessments are global measures, so ETS actively seeks candidates who can bring diverse experiences and perspectives to the work. The ELL summer internship workforce includes undergraduate students, graduate students, and teachers. Description: JOB RESPONSIBILITIES & REQUIREMENTS: ELL interns will produce materials for use on large-scale, high-stakes standardized tests of English language proficiency. Such work might include writing questions that test knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension; creating conversations and talks that test listening comprehension; and developing scenarios and prompts that allow test takers to demonstrate their writing and speaking skills. Interns will work on one section (one skill) of one test: Test of English as a Foreign LanguageTM (TOEFL®), Test of English for International CommunicationTM (TOEIC®), or K-12 language assessments. Six test sections are hiring for summer 2012, and there will be multiple hires for each section. The work is intellectually challenging and rewarding.
