A salient property of Dr. Chalhoub-Deville’s scholarly impact is the leadership roles she has assumed within the field of language testing. She is the founder and first president of the Mid-West Association of Language Testers (MwALT). She has served as a member of the Executive Board of the International Language Testing Association, the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages, Second Language Research Special Interest Group, and the American Association of Teachers of Arabic. She has also served as a member of the TOEFL Board, which oversees policies that govern the program, and as chair of the TOEFL Committee of Examiners, which directs the programs’ research and development activities.

As a faculty member in the Department of Educational Research Methodology, Dr. Chaloub-Deville maintains an active research program, mentors graduate students, and teaches graduate courses in language testing, assessment, validity, and methodology. She is also a founding member of the UNCG Coalition for Diverse Language Communities.

This internship opportunity was facilitated by ERM’s Office of Assessment, Evaluation, and Research Services (OAERS), which aims to provide ERM students with applied hands-on experiences throughout their graduate training. One way that OAERS supports these applied experiences is through cultivating partnerships with professional organizations that have internship opportunities aligning with the training of ERM students. Through the work of Dr. Holly Downs, Associate Director of OAERS and Assistant Professor in ERM, OAERS was able to develop a relationship with the program evaluation team of Physicians for Peace, and it was through this relationship that Physicians for Peace was able to identify ERM students as being strong candidates for the internship opportunities awarded to Carter, Sha, and Varner.
