DOES EVALUA
TION MEAN?
EVALUATING
is an activity in which we
try to judge the worth or
quality of something using
a set of criteria
Spoken texts present
ideas thru speech
(spoken words )
PUBLIC
SPEAKING
vlogs

presentations
news reports

Set of criteria
in evaluating
SPOKEN
TEXTS
FLUENCY
has three parts: correct
pronunciation of words,
proper speed and volume
of speaking, and proper
phrasing or grouping of
words and sentences
TONE
is the emotion of the speaker
expressed thru voice. A good
speaker varies the tone of his/her
voice depending on the situation
and doesn’t speak in only tone all
throughout the speech. If you
speak in only one tone, it is
monotonous and can be a reason
your audience will lose interest.
COHESION
means the ideas of the
speaker are all connected to
each other. There is a clear flow
of ideas from the beginning of
the speaking up to the end
CORRECTNESS
means the ideas of the speaker
are accurate or are meaningful.
There is also correctness if what
the speaker is saying is based on
facts, researches, observations,
and personal experiences.
