1 thought on “Assessment of Speaking”
Ben, I just sent you a rubric (for Kristen) that I made a while ago to use with one-on-one conversations with students, not to grade them or pressure them, but to show them and me where they are at. They seem to want that. I haven’t used it yet. I don’t grade output, and I have shied away from this kind of assessment even for my own information. It’s definitely in the air, though, so I want to find a friendly way to do it. I think how we handle the conversations, how we put the students at their ease, gauge what we say to allow them to be successful at whatever level they are at would make all the difference. I would hope to let them see what they can do in a different way than the day to day class. I hope, too, that I would get a clearer picture of what kind of acquisition is happening in class than I get from the broad, somewhat haphazard, rather laid back (except in my class of nerve-wracking misbehaviorists) classroom view that I get each day as we do whatever we do.
