Speaking Test Unit \u2013 Solving Problems <\/em>by Erin Slocum (South Korea ETA)<\/p>\n

One of the biggest challenges ESL teachers face is determining how to assess students\u2019 speaking abilities. Such a variety of factors are involved in speaking another language that it can be difficult to know where to begin. That\u2019s why for our Lesson of the Week this time around we are sharing an entire unit plan designed by former South Korea ETA Erin Slocum to prepare her students for their speaking assessment. In teams, students choose a problem at the school or national level, evaluate causes, effects, and solutions, and design a presentation. Erin\u2019s unit is designed to take four class periods, but it could be easily adapted based on your students\u2019 needs and any time constraints you as a teacher may have. You can access the materials for this unit below.<\/p>\n
