CBSE Class 9th English Internal Assessment
Guidelines for Assessment in Listening and Speaking Skills (ALS)
ALS must be seen as an integrated component of all four language skills rather than a compartment of two. Suggested activities, therefore, take into consideration an integration of the four language skills but during assessment, emphasis will be given to speaking and listening, since reading and writing are already being assessed in the written exam.
Listening Skills:
The focus is to use the assessment of Listening Skills for improving learners’ competency to listen for basic interpersonal, instructional and academic purposes. A number of sub-skills need to be developed in the everyday classroom transaction. Given below are some of the sub-skills of listening which need to be assessed for the Internal Assessment component of Listening:
i. Listening for Specific Information
ii. Listening for General Understanding
iii. Predictive Listening
iv. Inferential Listening
v. Listening for Pleasure
vi. Intensive Listening
vii. Evaluative Listening
Hence, the assessment items being prepared by subject teachers must assess the above.
Speaking Skills:
Assessment of speaking skills must be made an important component of the overall assessment, using this assessment as learning.
I. Guidelines for Assessment in Listening and Speaking Skills:
A. Classes 9:
As part of Subject Enrichment Activities for Internal assessment, the Assessment of Listening and Speaking Skills will be for 03 marks.
It is recommended that listening and speaking skills should be regularly practiced. Art integrated projects based on activities like Role Play, Skit, Dramatization etc. must be used. Please refer to the Circular no. Acad-33/2020 dated 14th May 2020 at the http://cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/Circulars/2020/33_Circular_2020.pdf for details
i. Activities:
- Activities for listening and speaking available at www.cbseacademic.in can be used for developing listening and speaking skills of students.
- Teachers can also use the NCERT book ‘Interactions’ available at the link: https://ncert.nic.in/pdf/publication/otherpublications/Interactions.pdf
- Subject teachers should also refer to books prescribed in the syllabus.
- In addition to the above, teachers may plan their own activities and create their own material for assessing the listening and speaking skills
ii. Parameters for Assessment: The listening and speaking skills are to be assessed on the
following parameters:
a) Interactive competence (Initiation & turn taking, relevance to the topic).
b) Fluency (cohesion, coherence and speed of delivery).
c) Pronunciation
d) Language (accuracy and vocabulary)
