Abstract

Taking into account the significant literature in Language Teaching Assessment, this article aims at understanding and discussing, based on studies about reliability (BROWN & BAILEY, 1984; BROWN, 2004; SCHOFFEN, 2009) and speaking assessment (BACHMAN, 1990; BORGES-ALMEIDA, 2009; QUEVEDO-CAMARGO, 2014; SCARAMUCCI, 2000), how English language teachers working in a language institute grade their students' oral performance, considering the adoption (or not) of previously established criteria. A qualitative-established criteria as, due to excessive subjectivity, oral tests do not seem to measure the students' expected level of oral performance, nor mirror language use reality.
