Hi Drew,
  A teacher that I used to work with would have the "audience" fill out  a 
document that she created, that required the students to document what they 
were hearing from others that were speaking (ej.  Le gusta bailar, no puede ir 
al cine porque tiene que estudair).... She had it set up so that what they 
wrote was individual not necessarily the same  as the person next to them.  
Then, she would collect and tell the kids "it was a graded assignment" so that 
they would respect each other.  Keep in mind, this was not in an OWL class so 
accountability and respect for others can be a bit more challenging. You can 
have boxes for multiple conversations or should I say recording what is heard 
from multiple conversations?  Good luck!

Angie

Hey everyone,

This is my first year with OLA and also my first year teaching. I am giving my 
first oral exams next week and I have a few questions I am wrestling with. The 
oral exam is a conversation in a short role play between two students chosen at 
random in the class.

First, any good ideas for meaningful activities that the kids can do while I am 
assessing the two students taking the test?

Second, Is there a good rubric out there for assessing students oral language? 
Should I just use the ACTFL levels as a rubric and guideline?

Third, any other tips or strategies for executing an oral exam like this that 
you experience teachers could pass along.

Thanks everyone.

Cheers,

Drew
