Abstract

This paper reports one best-practice in assessing the public speaking performance of advanced students at an Indonesian public university. The study involves an English course for an advanced class which was primarily related to public speaking skills. Considering that speaking is a productive skill that should be assessed through authentic assessment principles, the lecturers decided to assign the students with a mini-seminar project as part of their final examination. This project required the students to conduct a real-life contextualised seminar in which the organisers, speakers, and audience are composed of the students themselves. This paper discusses the rationale behind the planning and implementation of this successful project which involved a synthesis of assessment of, for, and as learning and critically evaluates the procedures of the assessment, the rubric developed therein, and the challenges experienced by the lecturers within the classroom. After the implementation, it can be concluded that this mini-seminar project as a doable alternative authentic assessment model that is applcable in a speaking class which focuses on the development of students’ public speaking skills. This mini-seminar project is recommended not only because it can be used as an alternative assessment model, but also it encourages students to work together in teams, and encourage them to work creatively, create something new in order to perform better.

Abstract

This current research scrutinized the implementation of collaborative writing on Padlet to enhance students' coherence in writing paragraph and their engagement in the learning process. This current research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and a descriptive qualitative approach to examine students' learning processes and interactions. Twenty-five first-year college students at one of the private universities in Indonesia who joined a writing paragraphs course. Quantitative data were gathered via paragraph-writing assessments and analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, whilst qualitative data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and student reflections. According to the study, students' paragraph coherence greatly improved, with mean scores rising from 68.40 to 81.24 (p < 0.05). Additionally, throughout the six-week intervention, engagement data showed a significant shift toward more content-focused peer criticism, as well as increased participation in posting, commenting, and editing activities. The results show that lines written in groups on Padlet are easier to understand and that students are more interested in writing in English as a second language. However, since this study employed a one-group design without a control group, the findings should be interpreted cautiously. Future studies are needed to further the effectiveness of Padlet-based collaborative writing in improving students’ coherence and engagement through more rigorous experimental designs.
