Testing L2 speaking in large classes is applicable at all levels of foreign language learning at schools and universities in Japan. The presented model aims to meaningfully test students’ L2 speaking-skills in less than 60 mins. Listening, reading and writing assessments are efficient and practical. However, oral testing remains our field’s shortfall. This method equips assessors with manageable models to measure a student’s production through peer-assessment, retelling and an active learning lens.
