Abstract
Many English Language Learners (ELLs) struggle with computer-based spoken English assessments (Lowe & Yu, 2009). Apart from test anxiety and lack of confidence in their English language skills, students complain that it is difficult to speak to a computer (personal communication). In this teaching tip, we share activities that international teaching assistants (ITAs) felt helped them to speak more comprehensibly and to achieve higher scores on the SPEAK Test.
