Workshop: Enhancing the Assessment of Speaking Skills
On the morning of December 10, 2024, the Language Skills Department held a professional development workshop for lecturers on "Enhancing the Assessment of Speaking Skills." The workshop aimed to introduce rubrics for assessing speaking skills, enabling lecturers to evaluate students’ speaking abilities accurately and objectively. Participants also practiced grading sample exams to gain hands-on experience. The workshop was a great success, and the Department plans to organize more professional activities in the future to further enhance teaching quality.
