Abstract

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of authentic materials on enhancing Iranian English as a foreign language learners' communicative competence. To this end, 106 upper-intermediate participants out of 136 were selected based on their performance an Oxford Placement Test (OPT) and randomly assigned to two equal groups- one experimental group and one control group. Then a pre-test was administered to assess the participants' communicative competence at the beginning of the course. Then, the experimental group received the treatment. The control group was taught the course content using the regular communicative method through which students received teacher-course from the textbook. After the treatment, the two groups took the post-test. The data analysis through paired and independent sample t-tests revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on the posttest. In other words, teaching authentic materials showed to have a significant effect on improving learners' communicative competence. The implications, limitations, and suggestions of this study are explained at the end of the study.

Abstract

Evaluating the speaking skill is in fact complicated and rigid. Two methods of assessing the speaking completion are analytic and holistic scoring. The methods of investigating the oral skill were investigated deeply. Spoken skills of English belonging 70 individuals, those were Iranian second-grade university EFL students, were evaluated by speaking addressee and examiner. The speaking addressee performs the holistic scoring though the examiner directed the analytic scoring. Context and construction, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation are the classes of analytic scoring. The analytic mean of four scales was 3.396, although the mean of holistic scoring was 3.628. The results showed a statistically considerable diversity between analytic and holistic methods of evaluation considering that p-value was estimated at 0.002 (P < 0.05). Therefore, it is recommended that employing these two scoring techniques in the procedure of evaluation may be considered proper seeing that one augment the other and lead to more inclusive evaluation.
