About the Oral English Proficiency Program

The Oral English Proficiency Program (OEPP) works with University departments to support international graduate students who are, or would like to be, teaching assistants.

Our services include:

• Screening prospective teaching assistants for oral English proficiency
• Certifying students for oral English proficiency
• Providing classroom communication training in English as a Second Language (ESL) for international graduate students

The OEPP serves as a resource both for the departments that employ international graduate students and the students themselves.
