| Summary: | The purpose of this research is to explore the assessment practices of EFL teachers in oral expression at MLD University-Setif2. An exploratory design is employed using a semi-structured adapted questionnaire administered to 12 EFL teachers of oral expression selected through purposive convenience sampling. Data are analyzed quantitatively using SPSS.22 and qualitatively via thematic analysis. The results reveal that teachers primarily aim to assign grades to students in their oral assessment practices. Additionally, they employ oral presentations, paper-pen exams, debates, and interviews as major tasks for oral assessment. Moreover, grammar, vocabulary, and oral fluency emerge as the main criteria for assessing students’ oral skills. Teachers predominantly use holistic scoring as a measurement procedure for assessment. The study offers pedagogical implications for teachers, students, administrators, and policymakers. |
