| Abstract | ||||
| The purpose of this research is to develop the speaking skills of the candidate language learners for the IELTS exam through the analytic scoring approach. The participants of the study included 30 students who were randomly chosen and divided into two groups: treatment (N= 15) and non-treatment (N= 15). The treatment group received instruction using the analytic scoring approach with its six aspects: appropriateness, organization of ideas, fluency, grammatical accuracy and structures, vocabulary and pronunciation. On the other hand, non-treatment group received their regular instruction. The instruments of the study were; an observation sheet designed as an oral quiz sheet and a scoring speaking rubric designed and modified to assess the language learners' speaking performance. Data were collected and t-test was used for the statistical analysis. Results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the treatment and non-treatment groups in the IELTS speaking test sample favoring the treatment group. It was concluded that the present research provided evidence for the effect of the analytic scoring approach on developing the candidate language learners' speaking skills for the IELTS exam | ||||
