“…This implies that through alternative assessment using speaking video portfolios, students monitored their speaking progress more than they could in the traditional achievement exams. This finding overlaps with the findings of Brooks (1999) as the experimental group using video-portfolios performed better than the control group regarding speaking. Furthermore, examination of the checklists in which the experimental groups have given feedback on their own performances, revealed that via implementation of alternative assessment (speaking portfolio), students analyzed how well they had learned and what they needed to work on next.…”

<p>Regarding the fundamental role of speaking in language skills, this study intended to investigate the effects of speaking portfolio as an alternative form of assessment for assessing Iranian EFL learners’ speaking ability at the intermediate and advanced proficiency levels and also its impact on their attitudes. Accordingly, from the population of 72 students studying at Kowsar Language Institute in Esfahan, a sample of 64 male and female intermediate and advanced students were randomly selected based on their scores on an OPT test and they were assigned to 4 groups: intermediate and advanced experimental groups and intermediate and advanced control groups. In order to collect the data, a pretest and a posttest as well as a questionnaire were employed. To analyze the data, an ANOVA and a series of Chi-square were run in the study and the findings indicated that the experimental groups using speaking portfolios performed better than the control groups in terms of speaking ability. Moreover, the result shed light on the advantages of speaking portfolios such as self-assessment, peer-feedback, and improvement of speaking skill. This study provides instructors, administrators, and test developers with alternative ways to improve and assess speaking skill through speaking portfolios.</p>

“…Because speaking has been considered of vital importance for communication, some researchers have put special attention to its development. Bruks (1999) ensures that monitoring speaking is the best way to know the student's learning development.

Las estrategias interactivas que desarrollan y evalúan la expresión oral en el idioma inglés constituyen un conjunto de actividades que permiten al estudiante apartarse de las presentaciones memorizadas y optar por el trabajo en parejas o grupal que propicie la comunicación participativa. Los objetivos de esta investigación son describir algunas estrategias interactivas sugeridas por expertos en este campo y averiguar con qué frecuencia son usadas en las instituciones de educación superior en la provincia de Carchi: Universidad Politécnica Estatal del Carchi, Universidad Regional Autónoma de Los Andes y el Instituto Superior Vicente Fierro. En cuanto al tipo de investigación, se utilizó el método descriptivo porque es apropiado en el campo de las ciencias sociales y permite a los investigadores describir situaciones y eventos. Con respecto a los métodos de estudio empírico, también llamados técnicas generales de investigación, este estudio aplicó la encuesta como un medio para obtener información primaria. Las tres instituciones de educación superior mencionadas utilizan actualmente libros publicados por la empresa National Geographic Learning. La Universidad UPEC también utiliza textos de la Cambridge University Press. Estos textos desarrollan fluidez en el inglés americano y británico a través de diálogos, descripción de imágenes, textos y videos del mundo real. Además, los estudiantes tienen la oportunidad de realizar trabajos autónomos en plataformas virtuales. La principal conclusión obtenida fue: el material didáctico es apropiado para implementar la mayor parte de las estrategias propuestas en esta investigación para desarrollar la expresión oral. Sin embargo, algunas de estas estrategias no se utilizan o no se aplican permanentemente.
