What to be assessed
The assignments assessed students’ language skills in producing conversation. In details,
students’ fluency and accuracy when constructing speeches relating to experiences, people
and navigating. Moreover, content relatedness, communication purposes and creativity are
also assessed. In other words, the assignments aim at assessing students’ ability to imagine
and create conversation about certain topics as well as their creativity in language choices.

conversational goals to meet with the learning outcomes of the course. At the level of pre-
intermediate, students should be able possess a medium range of less similar themes and to

and dialogues about the topics within pre-intermediate level. Hence, the assessment of a role-
play speaking assignment shall be efficient to evaluate students’ ability for oral production in
pre-intermediate level, which is creating relevant, contextual, interactive dialogue with
enough communicative value.
