Oral Presentation Scoring Guide
What do you look for when students give oral reports? This rubric helps isolate particular aspects of making an oral presentation. I tell my students that this form makes the presentation evaluation 70 percent objective and 30 percent subjective. For example, we can count how many times a student repeats a word. I either make a tic or actually writ...

Here is a dialogue about the video, "Frosty the Snowman". I have students watch the short version several times and then have them do the dialogue. They can do it in pairs or small groups of three or four and practice real language. The video is available on YouTube or YouKou.

This is a form I use to evaluate an oral presentation. I generally complete a form, giving suggestions or making comments below each category; allow the speaker to use the form for self-evaluation; and allow a classmate to use the form for peer evaluation and suggestions. I chose advanced level but I think it could be used for intermediate level as...

Pair Activity for Teaching Expressions

When they think they found their partner, they come back and I check to make sure. Once partnered, students figure out what the expression means and then prepare a dialogue using the expression. This activity is great f...
