Abstract

This research aims to find out about the types of oral language assessment used by the teachers in their practices, the ways in applying those assessment tasks, and the problems faced by the teachers during the assessment processes. The method used in this research is descriptive. The data were collected through interviews to the English teachers of grade IX, distributing the questionnaires to both teachers and two classes of grade IX students, and analyzing the teachers documents. The findings indicate that (1) both teachers have varied the oral language assessment tasks, (2) both teachers have done several procedures of the authentic assessment, however in rating the speaking skill of the students, they still used the same scoring rubrics stated in the lesson plans, meanwhile each of the tasks has its own criteria in rating students' speaking skill.
