For the development of the work, the authors conducted a review and analysis of articles, texts and other sources that included relevant information to the subject, including theoretical foundations, educational policies on evaluation, and examples of performance-based tasks. Suggested performance-based tasks include oral presentations, discussions, debates, demonstrations, among others. Both literature and the authors` experience indicate that performance-based tasks boost students` confidence and motivation towards speaking. Most performance-based tasks for assessing students' oral skills are collaborative in nature. Nonetheless, they can be also adjusted to individual assessments.Sakarya UniversitySakarya University2019-05-20T18:58:03Z2019-05-20T18:58:03Z2017info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfSoto, Sandy T., Espinosa Cevallos, Ligia F., Morales, María Antonieta, Molineros, Yolanda, Rojas Encalada, María Asunción, Moreira, Wendy y Intriago, Eder, (2017).
