This document contains two rubrics for assessing language tasks. The first rubric is for an oral presentation where students describe a classmate using physical and psychological characteristics. It evaluates accuracy, fluency, sequencing of information, and length. The second rubric is for a listening task where students listen to teenagers discussing likes and dislikes and match each speaker to a sentence. It checks if students correctly matched each of the seven speakers.
