The Madrid Chamber of Commerce Examinations and the Business-Spanish Curriculum.
Voght, Geoffrey M.
The Madrid Chamber of Commerce examinations and their usefulness for evaluation of business Spanish students are discussed. Eastern Michigan University is the testing center for a five-state area. The written portion of the exam is graded in Madrid, while the oral portion is graded by the university faculty. Testing procedures and contents of the oral and written exams at the basic and advanced level are described. The exams cover Spanish economics and industry, business organization and terminology, composition of a Spanish business letter, and questions on business topics. The potential advantages of the examinations include their two levels, their flexibility, a competitive edge in the job market, and an incentive for students. Plans are being made to standardize the examinations and offer them at officially designated testing centers nationwide. (RW)
