Guidelines for Assessment of Listening and Speaking Skills (ALS)

ALS is a component of the Subject Enrichment Activity under Internal Assessment. ALS must be seen as an integrated component of all four language skills rather than a compartment of two. Suggested activities, therefore, take into consideration an integration of the four language skills but during assessment, emphasis will be given to speaking and listening, since reading and writing are already being assessed in the written exam.

Assessment of Listening and Speaking Skills: (5 Marks)

  • Activities:
    • Subject teachers must refer to books prescribed in the syllabus.
    • In addition to the above, teachers may plan their own activities and create their own material for assessing the listening and speaking skills.
  1. Parameters for Assessment: The listening and speaking skills are to be assessed on the following parameters:
  1. Interactive competence (Initiation & turn taking, relevance to the topic)
