***Final Exam Information***














Speaking Practice-D1/C3/C4

Final Speaking Test Guidelines Spring 2017
Chiun Kim (June)

Speaking Practice Midterm Examination will test the student’s ability to express their thoughts and ideas in spoken English language.  The speaking exam will cover Units 3-4 of Summit 2 textbook.  Students will also be tested on the grading criteria of their choice including rhythm & intonation, the ability to support the answer with relevant examples and facts, fluency, and the ability to ask follow-up questions.



Your group can choose any topic of choice to discuss as a group or you can choose to discuss the results of the mini research that you conducted for your blog writing.  If you’re choosing a new topic, choose a topic that is debatable and currently in the news or something that is of interest to your group. Despite the group discussion, students will be graded individually.



Students will be graded on the following criteria: 5 points each

·         Rhythm, Intonation & Stress—Usage of correct rhythm, stress of words, and intonation to aid in understanding of the speech.

·         Follow-up Questions—Ability to focus on others to ask appropriate follow-up questions relevant to the topic being discussed.

·         Fluency-- Spoken smoothly and with ease; flowing speech that doesn’t hinder understanding from too many pauses.

·         Support/detail/reason-- Answers are supported with sufficient reasons and details to support the answer.



In addition, let’s have a small talk at the beginning of your exam so that I can learn more about you.  This will also measure your ability to have a natural flow of conversation which is required in speaking. This is worth 2 points, totaling 22 points for your final speaking exam. 



Please make sure you exchange necessary contact information with everyone in your group and show up to the final exam together as a group. It is not satisfactory for you to come alone and not know where your group members are as I can’t conduct the examination without your group. Being late or not showing up to your scheduled examination will result in your failing the class.  Lastly, please come at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled exam time and wait in the hallway quietly. Once you see the prior group leaving, just come in the classroom.



Remember to smile :)



Good luck!
