Speaking is seen by language testers as the most difficult of the four language skills to assess. Assessing speaking requires that we either observe a “live” oral performance or that we capture the performance by some means for evaluation at a later time. A method for elicitation must be selected, rating scales must be developed, and interviewers and/or raters must be trained. Therefore, understanding the assessment of speaking requires examination of assessment methods, scales, and raters.
