Details	Assessing the students’ oral skills can be challenging for instructors whose oral skills have never been assessed in their language learning experience. In this talk, the speaker will share his ideas about how he has been teaching and integrating the four skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking). In addition, based on his experience as a discussion and presentation instructor at a university, he will introduce how he taught these oral skills and how he assessed the students’ performance objectively. It is hoped that the participants can apply these activities and assessment methods in their teaching context.
