THE ASSESSING AND EVALUATING THE SPEAKING SKILL IN MOTHER TONGUE
Abstract
Language is a production of mind. It is
communicative,social, natural, variable, creative, arbitrary,vocal and
runs with the rules. Speaking is a
competence and a behaviour that presents the practicing of the language. It is
a way of communication and method of transforming the messages. While speaking,
the conscious and uncounscious cognitive behaviours are revealing by the
speakers. Michael Canale and Merrill Swain defended the general speaking
competences in 1980s. According to this, the language competences are grammar,
discourse, socio-linguistic and strategic. Harris (1997) explaines that
speaking is a complex skill
which consists of using some different competences like pronounciation,
grammar, fluency, vocabulary etc. together while speaking in its course in
different developmental speaking stages. Therefore, testing and analyzing the
speaking of individuals in this complex structure of speaking in a right way
and with a high attention is considerably important.
In this study, the speaking skill of the 100 university students who come from different cities in Turkey and studying in diferent departments at the university is tested in various stages and the data gathered analyzed by the SPSS and presented.
