2. What is Oral reading??
Oral reading:
is a technique to improve poor readers word
identification in context.
To help poor readers develop the habit of self-
correcting miscues that don’t make sense in the
context of the material they are reading.
To give students immediate, on-the-spot instruction
in word identification skills that have just caused
them problems.
3. What is to be tested??
Pronunciation
Grammar
Vocabulary
Fluency
4. Fluency Reading
This point of evaluation should be based upon the
smoothness of speech, not speed, and take into
account the normal use of hesitancy in
conversation. Students, who speak efficiently
and without awkwardness, should in turn be
granted a higher rating.
5. Grammar Use
It is unrealistic to expect that any student will come to an
exam and speak without any grammar problems; emphasis
should therefore be placed on being able to understand
the student’s communicative intent even if grammar
errors are present in sentence structures. Continual use of
the same grammar errors by a students, such as the use of
simple past for all past tense term; should reflect in a
lower rating. Alternatively those students who are able to
recognize that they had made a grammar error and
correct it during conversation, should be provided a
higher rating.
6. Pronunciation
As native English speakers possess a high degree of
tolerance to ambiguity. Accent is not considered variable
point of exam evaluation, except where it hinders
communicative understanding in the case of radically
influencing pronunciation.
In situations where continual mispronunciation of
terminology, students should be given a lower rating .
Alternatively, if students correct their mispronunciation,
or recognize their mispronunciation and attempt to
correct it throughout the exam, then it is should reflect
in a higher rating.
7. Vocabulary
Depending on the student choice of topic, certain
terms or vocabulary items can be selected from
the course materials and incorporated with in
students use higher level vocabulary, and select
terms taught from the textbook then they should
receive a higher rating. If students employ very
simple vocabulary terms for a complex topic, such
as health, then this should reflect in a lower
rating.
