Analytical Rubric Development Study for A2 Level Speaking Skills in Teaching Turkish as a Foreign Language

Abstract

Speaking skill is one of the most important skills in learning a foreign language and realizing the act of communication. The more the student improves himself in speaking skills, the more self-confidence he will increase. In the development of speaking skill, measurement and evaluation of the skill is as important as all the activities carried out during the lesson. It is important for the student to receive feedback on his speaking skill and to know how scoring is done. In this research, it is aimed to develop a rubric that will guide both students and teachers in order to evaluate the speaking performance of students at the A2 level of teaching Turkish as a foreign language. In the study, the validity and reliability studies of the rubric were carried out. A group of four field experts was formed in the study. As a result of the scores made by four field experts, the reliability between the raters was calculated according to the Intraclass Correlation statistics in the SPSS 25 Program. According to the feedback from the experts, it has been revealed that it is a tool that both teachers and students can use as an assessment tool. It is thought that the rubric will contribute to the researchers while creating a tool at the same level or at other levels, and will guide the teachers and learners in the stages of measuring and evaluating the A2 level speaking skill of teaching Turkish as a foreign language.
