    This was a qualitative exploratory study aimed at describing how a 7th-grade class faced oral assessments in the English class. Data collection instruments included a diagnostic oral assessment task, three questionnaires, class observations and a research journal. They allowed to generate information about participants’ emotions and practices before and during oral assessments in the English, as well as their perceptions of the phenomena. Results revealed that students’ negative emotions can interfere in their performance when facing oral assessment tasks. Therefore, the teacher implemented different strategies in order to cope with these negative emotions to favor students’ performance.

    Implementing Peer Assessment for Oral Tasks in the English Class
    (Universidad Cátolica Luis Amigó, 2020) Hernández Orozco, Mario Alejandro; Gallo Saldarriaga, Lesly Johana; López Palacios, Leidy Alexandra; Restrepo Bolivar, Erika Marcela
    This action research reports how 6th graders could benefit from the implementation of peer assessment for oral tasks in the English class. Different data collection techniques were used: a questionnaire, 2 surveys and individual interviews. It tried to establish participants’ abilities when applying peer assessment, also their perceptions when applied and received peer assessment, and finally, participants’ uses of peer assessment results. Findings suggest that learners developed abilities attached merely to application of peer assessment per se; furthermore, it was found that most of students actually used peer assessment results and applied it to the development of their process. Finally, data analysis allowed to identify four different perspectives that learners had towards the implementation of peer assessment for oral tasks in the English class.
