| Abstract: | Assessment of speaking, besides being difficult to perform unless it is made permanent through verbal/video recording, may fail to offer timely, comprehensive, and constructive feedback, which is crucial for the future development of the language learner’s speaking skill. In order to optimize oral assessment, a three-item model was applied in the case of ESP medical students including webware-based asynchronous speaking, classical oral examination and presentation. Results from the empirical study (N = 80) reveal the benefits of employing technology for oral proficiency assessment. Including an asynchronous voice tool component in the range of assessment strategies contributes to a finer, more objective, reliable, and more learning-oriented feed-back, with added value both for the assessor and the assessed students, the latter reporting high levels of satisfaction with technology-based assessment. |
