Rubric for speaking skill
This rubric is designed to assess students ability in speaking. The students have to answer their teacher's questions; then, in one minute they are going to talk about a specific topic the teacher asks; finally, in pairs, they are going to make a conversation asking and answering questions about the topic proposed for the term. Teacher can also ask the students to make an individual presentation or a report about a topic proposed in advance; in this case, reading is not allowed.
