Dear Colleagues

In a month we are hosting the International Students' Forum.  I am within the jury who will assess students' presentations on their research.  That is why I am responsible for developing assessment criteria of this type of speaking activity.  Hope you will agree that as EFL teacher I can't assess the content of presentations, but the language used, manner of delivery, overall impression etc. 

I will highly appreciate any of your ideas to be used as criteria for assessment presentation skills.  What shall I focus on to make my decison on the best presentation(s) valid and reliable?  Maybe some of you have ready made materials or can provide me with any links to.

What do you think whether it is worth to count in participants' feedback on the presentations they have listened to when taking the final decision?

Any your idea is accepted!  Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to your help.
