Placement Test: Listening and Speaking Rubric


This rubric was used during placement tests for two college-level English classes: Listening and Speaking Levels A and B. The point system was modified so that students' total scores would be on a ten-point scale, which is standard in Vietnam.

Students were asked warm-up questions, such as "What is your name? How are you? How old are you? How many people are in your family?" and then more challenging questions such as "Where do you like to travel? What is your favorite holiday? What makes you feel happy?" The rubric worked well for gauging general ability. However, further breakdown of categories may be necessary depending on the circumstance. Click to enlarge.
