Research Abstract

In this four-year project, a semi-direct speaking test using a story-retelling task, named Story Retelling Speaking Test (SRST), has been developed for junior and senior high school and university students. The SRST was designed to ease the process of test preparation and administration and generate positive washback effects on enhancing learners' receptive and productive abilities. Concerning scoring learners' speech performance, an empirical scale called an EBB (Empirically derived, Binary-choice, Boundary-definition) scale has been developed for the SRST. Through continuous modifications of the scale, the scale has been made that enables teachers to rate the student's speaking performance while listening to it once with sufficient reliability.
