Matsuyama JALT:

Calibrating Oral Assessment of Small Group Interaction

Date: Sunday, February 10th, 2013 Time: 2:15 PM - 4:20 PM

Speaker: Darren Lingley, Kochi University

Description:
This workshop will cover issues in assessing oral output in small group interaction. Participants will use four rating scale bands (keeping the conversation going, quality of content, grammar/vocabulary intelligibility, and pronunciation intelligibility) to assess three sets of Japanese learners. Teachers interpret rating scales differently, so it is important to establish common evaluation standards when examining oral proficiency for placement purposes.
