The Speaking Proficiency English Assessment Kit (SPEAK®) is an oral test developed by the Educational Testing Service (ETS), publishers of the Test Of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL®), an industry standard for assessing English proficiency for non-native speakers. The SPEAK is administered to non-native English speakers. Its aim is to evaluate the examinee's proficiency in spoken English. It is usually taken as a professional certification, especially for graduate teaching assistants in the American college and university system, who are often required to hold office hours and converse in English with students.
