The present research aims to develop and validate new evaluation rubrics for measuring English speaking communicative adequacy. It conceptualized communicative adequacy by asking participants to evaluate monologues and conversations. From the evaluation of monologues, six criteria were developed: intonation or pronunciation; content and meaning conveyed; grammar; vocabulary, fluency, and listener perspective. From dialogues, seven evaluation criteria were created: fluency, attitude, pronunciation & sound, organization, vocabulary & grammar, understanding interlocutor, content and interactive task assessment. Results of the up-to-date research were presented at both domestic and international conferences. A paper was published by the RELC Conference in Anthology Series.
