POINT #3

A SHORT EVALUATION OF THE ANALYTICAL RUBRIC AND ASSESSMENT PROCEDURE 

A brief description (2-3 sentences) of the language learning context

The learning objectives (at least two) for the oral task/activity that you are assessing

The task including input content (e.g., written topic, picture prompt, directions) given to the students to elicit the orallanguage Hint: remember to consider graphics, formatting, and text features (e.g., bolding, font, size).

The scoring method for the oral performance (e.g., holistic rubric, analytic rubric, checklist, point system)

A short (no more than one paragraph) description with your expectations of the assessment task and prompt (e.g., why the task will elicit language, likelihood it will produce the type of language you want to assess).

A short (no more than one paragraph) justification of that scoring method for the speaking task

04 POINT #3

Demonstrate understanding of principles of learning objectives.

A short (no more than 1 page) description of your evaluation of scoring method that you chose, including how you rate (1-5) the assessment’s validity, reliability, practicality, and beneficial consequences with justification. Your analysis should include explicit consideration of interactive (pair or group) vs. monologue performance.

Demonstrate understanding of validity, reliability, practicality, beneficial consequencesin the design.
