Abstract

An authentic assessment can provide a real-life experience to the student and accommodate the need of assessing productive skills, particularly for speaking skill. The authentic assessment instrument has to fulfill the requirements of being valid, practical and effective to make it a good device. This research focuses on developing tools for evaluating validity, practicality, and effectiveness of authentic assessment for speaking skill at junior high school. The instruments were produced by using theoretical based approach and were validated by experts in language assessment and English teachers of the junior high school. The developing tools were in the form of the questionnaire. There were five indicators for validity consisting of 2 to 7 sub-indicators, 4 indicators for practicality comprised 3 to 4 sub-indicators, and 6 indicators for effectiveness composed of 2 to 8 sub-indicators. The instruments used a 5–point evaluation scale.
