Scoring Guide - Answer Evaluation Criteria","","Speaking Scoring Guide provides detailed rubric-based criteria for evaluating spoken responses in two task types: “Listen and Repeat” and “Take an Interview.” It defines score levels from 0 to 5 using performance indicators such as exact prompt repetition, meaning accuracy, intelligibility, fluency, pacing, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary range, as well as typical atypical behaviors for each level.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/speaking-scoring-guide-answer-evaluation-criteria/488084/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/speaking-scoring-guide-answer-evaluation-criteria/488084.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Chumphorn","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-08","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":30},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",{"@type":56,"mainEntity":57},"FAQPage",[58,64,68],{"name":59,"@type":60,"acceptedAnswer":61},"How

exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• Minor changes in words or grammar are present that do not substantially change the meaning of the prompt.

The speaker may self-correct, but successfully completes the response. |\n| 3 | The response is essentially full, but it does not accurately capture the original meaning.\u003Cbr>Atypical response exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• The response contains a majority of the content words or ideas in the prompt.\u003Cbr>• Multiple function words may be changed or missing; one or more content words may be missing or substantively changed.\u003Cbr>• The response is a full sentence.\u003Cbr>• In some cases, intelligibility issues cause occasional difficulty in understanding meaning. The speaker may struggle over a word or phrase or run words together, reducing intelligibility. |\n| 2 | The response is missing a significant part of the prompt and/or is highly inaccurate.\u003Cbr>Atypical response exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• A large portion of the prompt is missing, and important original meaning is left out.\u003Cbr>• The speaker may repeat the first part of the sentence. Then the speaker may stop or fill with inaccurate content and/or include the last few words.\u003Cbr>• The response is not a self-standing sentence; meaning is fragmentary.\u003Cbr>• Intelligibility is low; the response would be difficult to understand for a listener unfamiliar with the prompt. |\n| 1 | The response captures very little of the prompt or is largely unintelligible.\u003Cbr>Atypical response exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• A minimal response of a few words is made; most of the prompt is missing.\u003Cbr>• The response is recognizable as an attempt to repeat the prompt, but it is mostly unintelligible. |\n| 0 | No response ORthe response is entirely unintelligible ORthere is no English in the response ORthe content is entirely unconnected to the prompt (or consists only of phrases such as“I don’t know”). |\n\nSpeaking Scoring Guide   \nTake an Interview  \n| SCORE | DESCRIPTION |\n| --- | --- |\n| 5 | A fully successful response\u003Cbr>The response fully addresses the question, and it is clear and fluent.\u003Cbr>Atypical response exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• The response is on topic and well elaborated.\u003Cbr>• Good conversational speaking pace is maintained with appropriate and natural use of pauses.\u003Cbr>• Pronunciation is easily intelligible; rhythm and intonation effectively convey meaning.\u003Cbr>• A range of accurate grammar and vocabulary allows clear expression of precise meanings. |\n| 4 | A generally successful response\u003Cbr>The response addresses the question, and it is reasonably clear.\u003Cbr>Atypical response exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• The response is on topic and elaborated, but it may lack effective sentence-level connectors.\u003Cbr>• Good speaking pace is generally maintained, with some pausing that may minimally affect flow.\u003Cbr>• Intelligibility and meaning are not impeded by pronunciation, rhythm and intonation, although occasional words/phrases may require minor effort to understand.\u003Cbr>• Grammar and vocabulary are adequate to express general meanings most of the time. |\n| 3 | A partially successful response\u003Cbr>The response addresses the question but with limited elaboration and/or clarity.\u003Cbr>Atypical response exhibits the following:\u003Cbr>• The response is generally on topic, but elaborat","cbCais1UQhOCohN5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais1UQhOCohN5","pdf",284216,"English","# Speaking Scoring Guide\n## Listen and Repeat\n## Take an Interview","[{\"question\":\"How are responses scored in the “Listen and Repeat” task?\",\"answer\":\"Scores range from 5 to 0 based on whether the response exactly repeats the prompt or maintains meaning with increasing levels of omission, inaccuracy, or unintelligibility.\"},{\"question\":\"What criteria determine the score level for “Take an Interview”?\",\"answer\":\"Scores are based on how fully the response addresses the question, along with clarity, fluency, pacing and pause use, intelligibility, and the accuracy and range of grammar and vocabulary.\"},{\"question\":\"What does a score of 0 mean in both rubrics?\",\"answer\":\"A score of 0 indicates no response, a fully unintelligible response, no English in the response, or content unrelated to the prompt/interviewer question.\"}]","Speaking Scoring Guide - Answer Evaluation Criteria | PDF",1790810035]
