Abstract


ABSTRAK: Makalah ini mengongsi dapatan utama penggunaan ujian lisan untuk menilai kemahiran interaksi lisan di peringkat primari di sekolah-sekolah Singapura. Ujian lisan tersebut tertumpu pada komponen perbualan, iaitu komponen yang memerlukan kedua-dua pemeriksa dan murid melibatkan diri dalam perbualan interaktif. Ujian lisan tersebut turut memanfaatkan Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi (ICT) dengan menggunakan klip video pendek sebagai rangsangan. Reka bentuk dan kriteria penilaian ujian e-Lisan telah diteliti untuk memastikan adanya penjajaran dengan konstruk interaksi lisan. Ujian lapangan telah dijalankan terlebih dahulu untuk mengenal pasti kebolehcapaian ujian e-Lisan serta kebolehbandingannya dengan ujian lisan yang sedia ada, iaitu ujian yang menggunakan gambar sebagai rangsangan. Sesi-sesi latihan turut dijalankan untuk memastikan kedua-dua pemeriksa dan murid terbiasa dengan format ujian e-Lisan. Maklum balas daripada murid-murid dan guru-guru dikumpulkan untuk menilai kesan dan impak ujian e-Lisan berasaskan komputer serta kesediaan murid-murid menjalani dan guru-guru menjalankan ujian e-Lisan berasaskan komputer. Pada umumnya, murid-murid dan guru-guru melaporkan bahawa mereka meraih pengalaman yang positif.

Kata kunci: Ujian lisan; kemahiran interaksi lisan; video sebagai rangsangan; e-Lisan; sesi latihan

 

ABSTRACT: This paper shares key findings of using an oral test to assess spoken interaction skills at the primary level in Singapore schools. The oral test focuses on the conversation component which requires both testers and test takers to engage in an interactive conversation. The oral test also harnesses the benefits of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by using a short video clip as the test stimulus. The design and the assessment criteria of the e-Oral test were examined to ensure alignment to the construct of spoken interaction. A field test was first carried out to find out the accessibility of e-Oral tests by the test takers and the comparability with the existing oral test using a picture as a stimulus. Practice sessions were also administered to ensure both testers and test takers are familiar with the e-Oral test format. Students’ and teachers’ feedback were gathered to evaluate the effects, impact and their readiness of such computer-based e-Oral tests. Generally, students and teachers reported positive experiences.

Keywords: Oral test; spoken interaction skills; video as stimulus; e-Oral; practice session
