How we score speaking when "native-like" is the wrong target - the eval rubric behind Elispeak

1. 1Analyze the limitations of 'native-like' speech as a target for speaking evaluation
2. 2Identify key components of speaking skills that should be evaluated, such as pronunciation, fluency, and coherence
3. 3Develop a scoring rubric that prioritizes communicative effectiveness over native-like speech
4. 4Test and refine the rubric using real-world speaking samples
5. 5Apply the rubric to evaluate speaking skills in a fair and consistent manner

Language teachers, speech evaluators, and developers of language learning tools can benefit from this approach to assess speaking skills more effectively

💡 Evaluating speaking skills should focus on communicative effectiveness, not native-like speech
