ASSESSING PRODUCTIVE SKILLS: MODERN METHODS AND GLOBAL STANDARDS

Abstract

Annotation. This article analyzes modern methods and international standards for assessing productive language skills - that is, speaking and writing. In the global education system, the assessment of productive skills should be aimed not only at determining grammatical correctness, but also at determining content, fluency, coherence, speech strategies and communicative effectiveness. The article compares the criteria of international assessment systems such as CEFR, IELTS, TOEFL, and shows their advantages in accurately measuring students' language competence. The role of formative assessment, rubrics, portfolios, multi-stage written assignments, evaluator-interviews, real-world context-based tasks, and digital assessment tools is also highlighted. According to the research results, an integrated and communicative approach is the most effective method for objectively assessing productive skills. The article is of practical importance for teachers, methodologists, and language testing specialists.
