- Sign up: Sign up for your preferred slot with your GTA by Tuesday, June 21, 8AM, or you will lose 5 points (see rubric below)
- Converse: At the appointed day/tim have the conversation with your GTA using their Zoom link.
(Be sure that you verify your Google Calendar's time zone in order to avoid any confusion, and that that you have resolved any connection/technical issues prior to your time slot.)
- Time: 2-minute minimum and 3-minute maximum.
- Rubric. All of the following continue to be essential components of your speaking ability and
will be what guide the scoring of each segment:
- Communication: Student made him/herself understood;
- Accuracy: Grammar was sufficiently correct to ensure communication;
- Vocabulary: Student's vocabulary was adequate for communication;
- Fluency: Student's speech flowed without distracting hesitations;
- Pronunciation: Pronunciation enhanced rather than impeded communication;
- Comprehension: Student understood instructor/GTA;
- Content: Student managed well each particular segment using correct verbs, vocabulary, structure and syntax;
- Failure to set appointment by deadline: -6 pts, plus an additional -6 pts. each day thereafter until you have a date/time scheduled;
- Each missed appointment: -6 pts, plus an additional -6 pts. each day thereafter until you have a new date/time scheduled.
- Note: Your GTA will provide this in the chat: "Greeting, feelings, apartment, roommate, chores, commands, appliance, conclusion"; other than that, no notes, no book, no other resources; this is to be a relatively natural, flowing conversation with a beginning, a middle and an end.
