@article{oai:icu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00002645, author = {Christianson, Mark and Hoskins, Christopher}, journal = {語学研究, ICU Language Research Bulletin}, month = {}, note = {In 2008, 15 instructors of the Academic Speaking (ASP) course at International Christian University (ICU) collaborated on creating and piloting a new self-assessment system to help approximately 520 first year students at ICU analyze and set goals for improving their own academic speaking. The assessment was based an audio or video recording of a three to four minute speaking sample of each student expressing an opinion on an issue and then leading a short discussion. Following the recording, each student submitted a self-analysis of his or her own speaking including a typed transcript and a list of self-identified speaking difficulties and improvement goals. This paper presents the rationale, design, and results of the piloted assessment system and then discusses issues and needs for improvement.}, pages = {1--15}, title = {Designing a Program-Wide Self-Assessment System for Academic Speaking: Preliminary Results and Issues}, volume = {23}, year = {2009} }
