| Title | More Oral Practice and Assessment Ideas (Part 3) |
| Body | Here a teacher describes how she uses a tape recorder to make the oral assessment process more efficient and less troubling for self-conscious learners. ---- I have 4 small recorders that I set up in different places in the room & while students are taking a written quiz or test, they go up individually to a recorder & do the oral. It might be a series of questions in the TL; it might be something in English that says, Did you do these things last week? Finish your homework, make your bed, go to the movies, drink coffee? It could be a picture they must describe, a poem they had to memorize & must recite, a single question such as Describe your bedroom, tell me what you ate for dinner yesterday, tell me what you're wearing today... whatever the oral work is that we have been practicing in the lesson. (They also do) dialogues in front of the class or with a partner into a recorder. I rarely do skits or dialogues in front of the whole class because many kids hate that, and it takes up a lot of time. I am the only French teacher, and I have the kids all four years. They get used to the recorder thing; they know they can whisper & be heard; they know to get up & do the job before the test is over. I then correct the tapes after class. I have a formal recorder oral with almost every chapter quiz. They might be as simple as answering 6 questions replacing the nouns with pronouns. Or they might be as long as describing a story in the imparfait/pc using a series of pictures. Howard, S. Oral evaluation. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv.
