Format for Oral Exam and Grading Criteria

Intermediate adult Spanish leaners.
For this oral exam students are going to be making paired interviews and
recording themselves to answers questions in different situations, based on
the reading and writing lesson they had about el Leador.
It is important to mention that in the cards for this oral exam the students
have the questions in Spanish already. It would be too difficult for their level
to come up with the structure of those types of questions. So, I have decided
that I am not testing their ability to ask questions, in this particular case, but
the ability to answer them based on the reading, and writing they have done
previously about the topic.
This activity is worth 30 points.
The students are going to be provided with the following rubrics before they
are tested. The 30 points are going to be divided as fallows:
Communication:
Topics handled adequately; ideas clearly conveyed; requires little effort to be
understood.
/6
Accuracy:
Makes some grammar mistakes that do not affect meaning.
/4
Fluency:
Normal, thoughtful delay in formulation of thought into speech.
/6
Vocabulary:

wrong preposition)
/4
Pronunciation:
Some mispronunciation; meaning still clear.
/4
Format
Gave at least 2 sentences per question.
