This document outlines a research proposal that investigates teachers' perceptions of assessing students' oral reading skills in rural primary schools. The study aims to understand teachers' views on reading aloud assessments, and whether their perceptions differ based on years of teaching experience or education level. It will also explore factors influencing teachers' assessments of oral skills. The methodology section describes a mixed-methods approach using questionnaires to collect quantitative data on 80-120 teacher samples, and interviews for qualitative data from 12 purposefully selected teachers. Data will be analyzed using statistical and thematic techniques to understand teachers' perspectives and answer the research questions.
