Abstract: Instruction and assessment are two important aspects of modern education. Based on the rationales of multiple means of assessment, this paper explores the necessity of a shift from oral tests to the assessment of speaking skills through multiple measures. It also discusses how to implement multiple means of assessment in the regular oral English teaching.
