 WAYS TO ASSESS SPEAKING SKILL
TWO METHODS FOR ASSESSING SPEAKING SKILLS:

1. OBSERVATIONAL APPROACH
-student’s behavior is observed and assessed unobtrusively

2. STRUCTURED APPROACH
- student’s are ask to perform one or more oral communication
• THE TASK CAN BE ADMINISTERED BY ONE-ON-ONE
SETTINGS

• TASK SHOULD BE FOCUS ON TOPICS THAT STUDENT

CAN EASILY TALK
 OTHER WAYS TO ASSESS SPEAKING
1. HOLISTIC RATINGS
-impression of student’s performance

2. PRIMARY TRAITS
- assess students ability to achieve communication skills

3. ANALYTIC SCALES
- capture student’s performance in various aspect of comm.

4. RATING SYSTEM
- describes varying degrees of competence or indicate
presence or absence of characteristics.
 MACRO & MICRO-SKILLS OF
SPEAKING
MICRO SKILLS
- refer to producing the smaller chunks of language such as
phonemes, words, collocation and phrasal units.

MACRO SKILLS
- focus on the larger elements: fluency, style, cohesion, non-
verbal communication and strategic options.
 MACRO-SKILLS
A. Appropriately accomplish communicative functions according
to situation, participants and goals.

B. Use appropriate styles, registers implicature and other

sociolinguistic features in face-to-face conversation.

C. Convey links and connection between events and

communication.

D. Convey facial features, body language along with verbal

languages.

E. Develop and use a battery of speaking strategies.

TECHNIQUES WITH BREIF ILLUSIONS TO RELATED TASK
(BROWN 2004)
1. No speaking task is capable of isolating the single skilss of
oral production. Concurrent involvement of the additional
performance of aural comprehension, and possible reading is
usually necessary.
2. Eliciting the specific criterion, you have designated for a task
can be tricky because beyond the word level, spoken
language offers a number of productive options to test
takers. Make sure your elicitation prompt achieves its aims as
closely as possible.
3. Because of the above two characteristics of oral production
assessment, it is important to carefully specify scoring
procedures for a response so that ultimately you achieve as
high reliably index as possible.
