Oral assessments are essential for measuring language proficiency—but let’s be honest, they can be time-consuming and tricky to grade, which makes them easy to avoid. In this practical and encouraging session, world language teachers will explore ways to make oral assessments more accessible, efficient, and student-friendly.
Learn how to:
Give quick, clear feedback that answers every student’s favorite question: “What grade did I get?”
Grade multiple students at once—whether in pairs, small groups, or individually
