RESUMO

Reliability is a fundamental concept in assessment. A test is considered to be reliable when there are no variables that can affect the candidate?s performance assessment. They can be related to the conditions of test application or interviewer?s performance. However, in the case of oral assessments such as face to face interactions, in which the candidate interacts with an interviewer, the control of reliability becomes more difficult, since the interactions will involve many variables. In order to control those variables, interviewers are trained and test procedures, rules and criteria are elaborated. Even though, there can be variables that were not predicted to the interactions. The aim of this work is to analyze interviewers? performance in face to face interaction of Celpe-Bras examination (Proficiency in Portuguese as a Foreign Language). This examination, developed by the Ministry of Brazilian Education and in use since 1998, certifies foreign candidates in four levels: Intermediate, High Intermediate, Advanced and High Advanced. It has two parts, a writing test and a speaking one. The oral test is a 20 minutes face to face interaction. The candidate is evaluated by an interviewer and an observer. The results of this study pointed that there were variations concerning interviewers? performance, which could be considered collaborative and/or non-collaborative. It is expected that this work can contribute to a better understanding of oral evaluations in general, and more specifically, to serve as subsidy to the improvement of Interviewer?s Manual of Celpe-Bras examination
