Core Skills Assessment (Based on Sense Group Pausing)
Evaluation Dimension Criteria Description Self-Assessment (1-3-5) Peer Assessment (1-3-5)
Sense Group Division Correctly chunks long sentences into meaningful grammatical units (e.g., subject, clause, prepositional phrase).
Pausing Uses clear, natural pauses between sense groups, not within them.
Intonational Smoothness Maintains a smooth, connected flow of words within a single sense group.
Rhythm & Flow Uses pausing to create a natural English rhythm, avoiding a word-by-word reading style.
