Assessment technology of speaking skills based on a communicative approach

Аннотация

The Communicative Approach, developed over fifty years ago, emphasizes interaction as its primary goal. However, in Uzbekistan, appropriate speaking assessments aligned with this approach are often lacking in high schools. Effective speaking assessments should align with the Communicative Approach's goals to yield solid results. Peer assessment is recommended as a valuable method for enhancing speaking skills, offering authentic communication, collaboration, and self-reflection opportunities. Peer assessment fosters a learner-centered environment, encouraging proficiency in real-world contexts. By integrating diverse speaking assessments, learners can develop crucial skills like fluency, accuracy, and sociolinguistic appropriateness.
