@article{2017,title={EXAMINERS' AND TEST TAKERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD INTEGRATION OF INTERACTIVE COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATION INTO ORAL EXAMINATIONS},abstractNode={Speaking skill in EFL context can be assessed through various examinations. Among these examinations, commonly used interviews seem to lack the necessary setting to assess all features of speaking skill. Although spoken production is assessed by means of exam questions in an interview format, spoken interaction cannot be assessed due to the absence of an interactive format. On the other hand, incorporation of a section into examinations, where test takers, interacting with another participant, can be assessed in their interactional skills, may help the assessment of both features of speaking skill. Therefore, our aim in this study is to find out the attitudes of examiners and test takers toward integration of interactive components of communication into oral examinations. The participants of this study were the teachers and students in a language school. The data were collected by means of checklist to teachers and interviews with teachers and students.},author={Fatih HAVAYIOĞLU},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
