Therefore, teaching, learning, assessment and evaluation are inseparable aspects that impact school communities in many ways. In school, assessments of students‟learning and classroom instruction serve multiple purposes. The information obtained from an assessment activity can be used to monitor students‟ progress and the effectiveness of the instruction. In fact, assessment and instruction can be integrated purposefully by constructing assessments appropriately, interpreting assessment information effectively, evaluating students‟ achievement wisely, and providing feedback helpfully to students and their families at conference time.

In the context of English teaching and learning, the assessment should cover the four language skills, namely: listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. But, for many years, those four skills have not been assessed equally. There has been a tendency to put emphasis on assessing reading and writing skills. 

Permendiknas No. 34, 2007 about “National Examination and Standard Competency of Passing-Grade” clearly stated that the final examination on English subject only covered the reading and writing skills. That is why, most of the teachers focused on those reading and writing skills in the teaching learning process and neglect listening and speaking skills. The ignorance of assessing speaking skill in the foreign language learning consequently affected students‟ ability. More importantly, it also affected teachers‟speaking skill.
