Content Coverage Communicative Skills in English Language

Nature of task Post content task

Learning Objectives Through this activity the students are expected to:

communicate effectively and confidently in

spoken language in a wide range of situations.

prepare, organise and deliver an engaging oral

presentation.

identify and use appropriate vocabulary.

use the appropriate tone, posture, gesture, pause

and maintain eye contact while speaking.

listen to a wide range of oral texts, summarize,

record and respond to them.

listen critically for specific information.

follow instructions and directions.

distinguish between facts and opinions

Duration Listening task- 40 minutes

Speaking task - 3-5 minutes

Task / Tools/ Techniques For testing listening skill, an audio track will be

played, and worksheets will be given to the

students.

For testing speaking skill, the students will

present a radio show/ hold discussions/ debate/

or speak individually on any burning issue or

invite a famous personality or a common man

who has made a difference to the society, to the

studio and interview him.

Execution of task / Procedure The listening test comprises of two tasks. The

tasks are graded according to the length of the

task and the difficulty level.

The students will hear a set of recordings of the

Listening Input or listen to a reading of the

listening input.

Each of the recording will be played twice.

The students are required to answer a set of

questions based on each of the listening inputs.

The test consists of 2 sections, and the students

will be required to attempt both the sections of the

test.

For the Speaking test the total administration time

for the speaking assessment would be

approximately 3-5 minutes.

The speaking test will be conducted for three

students at a time.

In the first section of the speaking test, the

students are divided into groups of 3. Each group

is asked to choose a subject for discussion.

In the second section of the speaking test,

each group holds a discussion, debate or

interview on the topic / subject chosen.

Two members of the group will present the

commentary/ discussion/ debate or interview,

while the third member will introduce the

details of the event and double up as the

celebrity in case of interview

The students are not allowed to write full length

scripts. They may jot down points only that they

can elaborate upon during the time of the

presentation.

Prior to the day of the speaking test, as

assistance to students to prepare for the

presentations, the teacher can suggest some

burning issues.

Each group is given 3-5 minutes each, to present

their discussion or interview.

In case a student has not been able to speak, the

teacher may use the last 1 minute to give a fresh

opportunity to that student.

Criteria / Rubrics for

assessment

The following will be the criteria for assessing

the Speaking task:

Fluency and pronunciation-5 Marks

Interactive initiation and turn talking-5 Marks

The marking key for the Listening task is

prepared before the test is administered. At the

end of the test, the answer scripts are collected

and marked.

Values imparted through the

Activities

The Assessment of Listening Skill aims at

developing values of patient and impartial

listening.

The speaking test teaches values of speaking at

the right time, concisely and meaningfully.

Follow up The teacher gives feedback of the work and suggests

ways to improve speaking and writing skills.

Evaluation and feedback of the peers are also

encouraged.

More such tasks can be taken up for enhancing listening

and speaking skills.
