4. Quart de couverture

This guide to oral assessment deals with any assessment based on the spoken word, including vivas, oral presentations, and a host of other forms of assessment. It is designed to be of use to anyone currently using oral assessment to make judgments about their students’ learning, and anyone considering introducing oral assessment into their courses. It is not about assessing students’ language or communication skills per se, but it is about assessment that calls on students to use the spoken word to express their knowledge and understanding.

In this guide we will be considering:

  • the nature of oral assessment
  • the advantages (and some disadvantages) of oral assessment
  • key dimensions of oral assessment to use in planning oral assessments
  • marking and grading
  • preparing students for oral assessment; and
  • ensuring that judgments based on oral assessment are sound, reliable and fair.

The guide will cite a number of articles where different forms of oral assessment are described. Most of these are the work of higher education teachers from various disciplines (rather than of educational researchers or theorists) and provide practical illustrations of how oral assessment can be carried out. Despite the metaphor of a balanced assessment diet, this guide will not provide a recipe for designing and implementing oral assessment, but it will introduce a range of ingredients to use in various combinations in developing assessment tasks, and practices that will help you and your students make the most of the oral medium
