Speaker: Rebecca Calman
This presentation will look at the oral testing of conversation skills in the context of communication classes for Japanese university students. An overview of oral testing will be given. Rebecca Calman will argue that testing students in conversational pairs with one another is better than an interview test in which students are paired with an examiner. Furthermore, many benefits of giving an oral test will be discussed, and a model for preparing and administering such a test will be given.
