Subject: Re: [etni] orals
I for one agree with your tester
"our well prepared students were very upset." is actually a euphemism for
students who memorised summaries they wrote at home. Does such a memorized
speech tell us much about the communication skills of that pupil? I think
not. When I hear such a memorized artificial speech I stop it after a few
seconds.
