INTRODUCTION
In the Malaysian education system, English has always played an important role. The Malaysian University English Test (MUET) serves to give continued emphasis on this role.
The objective of MUET is to measure the English language proficiency of pre-university students for entry into tertiary education. MUET comprises all the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. It measures and reports candidates’ level of proficiency based upon an aggregated score range of zero to 300. The scores correlate with a banding system ranging from Band 1 to Band 6. A results slip is issued to every candidate who completes all four components of the test.

Salam,
I was searching for an article entitles "How well do commonly used language instruments measure English oral proficiency?" when the web browser 'hits' your informative blog.
I am finding instruments that can measure ESL learners in their oral skill. Perhaps the marking scheme in MUET's speaking skill can be one of the examples of how to measure their skills. But it is rather good if I can have instruments that are already tested, by research I mean, in assessing ESL learners' oral skill. Do you come across any of the instrument that perhaps can be share? I need to use the instrument for my research. Thank you...
