Indayani, Rizky Amalia (2017). Analytic Scoring Procedure in Speaking Assessment At Hospitality Program of State Vocational High School 1 Buduran Sidoarjo.
A Thesis. English Education Department, Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, Sunan Ampel State Islamic University, Surabaya. Advisor: Dra.
Arba’iyah Yusuf, M.A.
Key Words: Analytic Scoring Procedure, Analytic Rubric, Speaking
Students are categorized as a good or bad speakers depend on someone who assesses their ability while speaking. It is common that speaking assessment for classroom purposes done by the teachers has been done without any theoretical basis. So, the
teachers just use their feel judgment to score the students’ performance. By doing
that, the teachers determine the score based on their impression without making an analysis of the aspects of speaking ability. Thus, the research is aimed to figure out whether the teacher’s rubrics for speaking assessment of hospitality students at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran comply with the characteristic of Analytic Scoring Procedure or not. The subjects of this research are the teacher and the students of tenth grade students of Hospitality Program at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran. There are 2 rubrics used by the teacher. The researcher used descriptive qualitative method to present the data. Here, the researcher collected the data used three techniques, those are; observation checklist, interview guideline, and documents. The data was obtained from document and interview. After collecting the documents, the researcher analyzed it by using checklist rubric about the valid analytic scoring rubric for oral assessment adapted from two theories. First, the theory from Mary J. Allen in her book Developing and Applying Rubric,1 and the Theory from Susan M. Brookhartin his book by the title “How to Create and Use Rubrics for Formative Assessment and Grading”. In conclusion, these rubrics are
compliant enough with the characteristics of analytical rubric based on Allen’s theory
in both created process and the natures. In particular, rubric for presentation is compliant by having 70% compliant to the characteristic of analytic rubric based on the created process and 70% compliant based on the natures. Additionally, rubric for conversation based on the created process characteristic is compliant by having 70% compliance and 100% compliant based on the natures.

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
This study is about analytic scoring procedure in speaking assessment at
hospitality program of state vocation high school 1 buduran sidoarjo. This
chapter discusses the area of the study that be covered in some headings;
background of study, research questions of the study, objectives of the study,
significance, scope and limitation, then definition of the key terms.
A.Background of The Study
Speaking seems intuitively the most important of all the four language
skills (listening, writing, reading, and speaking) since people who know a
language are referred to as a ‘speaker’ of that language, as if speaking
included all other skill knowing that language1
. Through speaking, somebody
shows their idea or their feeling. Moreover in English class, the teacher will
know students idea through speaking. As another skill, the teacher conduct
speaking test to measure that students understand and have a progress during
study in the class.
A speaking test is a procedure to measure speaking ability that
requires the learner to speak or to produce utterances and he/she is assessed
1
2
on the basis of his/her utterances2
. The learners will know their progress,
strengths and weakness during study the lesson in the class. Furthermore,
through speaking test the teacher knows their students about their progress.
In an elementary level, a speaking test may be focused on assessing
one or two aspects of speaking skills such as the pronunciation, intonation,
and stress. In advanced level, the assessment is focused on the language
function. Unfortunately, when speaking assessment is concerned, not all
teacher when evaluates students using a detail description about how to
develop a good scoring guide or a scoring sheet. Experts in language testing
have discussed types and techniques of language testing without giving
information on how to score the test3
.
Presently, learners are demanded to speak English during their English
Lesson or in full case for English for Specific Purposes Students such students
of Vocational High School in a hospitality program. They are forced to speak
English fluently because the purpose of their study is getting in touch with
many foreigners in their working world.
Students are categorized as a good or bad speakers depend on
someone who assesses their ability while speaking. It is common that
speaking assessment for classroom purposes done by the teachers has been
done without any theoretical basis. So, the teachers just use their feel

judgment to score the students’ performance. By doing that, the teachers
determine the score based on their impression without making an analysis of
the aspects of speaking ability. Thus, the researcher directly shows the use of
analytic scoring procedure in assessing speaking ability of students used
English for Specific Purposes. Analytic schemes have also been found to be
particularly useful for scorers who are relatively inexperienced4
.
Most of researchers find out the effectiveness of those scoring
procedure by comparing both of analytic and impressionistic. In this research,
the researcher wants to find out resemblance of the teacher’s rubric for
speaking assessment with the characteristic of Analytic Scoring rubric and
make it related with English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It should be
analytic because this scoring procedure is more effective than the holistic
one5
. There are several studies which is similar to this study. The first study
is by Luu Trong Tuan, 2012, University for Natural Resources and
Environment, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Teaching and Assessing Speaking Performance trough Analytic Scoring Approach. The aim of this research was to examine if the analytic scoring approach in teaching and assessment
would be more effective for improving students’ speaking performance6

research also explored the students’ attitude towards the implementation of
analytic scoring approach in speaking teaching and assessment.
The second study is Ying-Yung Chuang, Cheng Shiu University,
China Taiwan. Foreign Language Speaking Assessment: Chinese Taiwanese
College English Teachers’ Scoring Performance in the Holistic and Analytic
Rating Methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate college English
teachers’ scoring performance of the Holistic and Analytic rating methods,
their views and concerns with the components of oral skills, and whether
teachers’ background variables influenced their scoring performance.
This research only focuses on the teachers’ rubric in assessing
speaking of hospitality students at Vocational High School 1 Buduran
Sidoarjo. This school was chosen as the research place because the quality of
the school. Some of big institutions whether domestic or foreign have
cooperation with this Vocational High School. Relating the vision of SMKN 1
Buduran that is become an education and training institution which is able to
produce professional, independent and competing graduates in national and
International social work7
. In particular, Hospitality Program there is student
exchange program which some of students has a chance to go overseas to job
training. The program collaborates with Malaysia. thus, the students of
hospitality program must speak English very well.

B. Statement of the Research Problem
Based on the background of the study, the researcher analyzed the compliance
of the teacher’s rubric for speaking assessment with the characteristic of
Analytic Scoring rubric. In line with the statements described above, the
researcher formulated the problems as follow:
Do the teacher’s rubrics for speaking assessment of hospitality students at
State Vocational High School 1 Buduran comply with the characteristic of
Analytic scoring procedure?
C. Objectives of the Study
Related to the problems above, the researcher has formulated the major
objective of this study to describe the resemblance of teacher’s rubric for
speaking assessment for English for Specific Program in terms of;
To figure out whether the teacher’s rubrics for speaking assessment of
hospitality students at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran comply with
6
D. Significance of Study
By completing this study, the researcher expected which brought much
benefit to many people. The analytic procedure of speaking assessment
provided a double function: as a valid and reliable instrument and as a
diagnostic procedure or remedial teaching. Therefore, it serves as feedback
both for the students and teacher.
1. For the Teacher
By doing an analysis in teachers’ scoring rubric used in assessing
speaking, we can give more suggestion whether the rubric has already
complied with the characteristic of analytic procedure or not. So, the
teacher’s assessment for hospitality students will be more effective and
the teacher can further make a decision on which speaking skill needs
more practice in the remedial teaching.
2. For Business Travel Students
By doing this research and knowing that the procedure of scoring is based
on the analysis of features, this scoring procedure can be used as feedback
for the learner to improve his/her performance. So, after knowing the
results of each student, they will know which language component that
7
E. Scope and Limit of the Study
The scope of this study is English teaching. Specifically, the main data
is taken from the rubrics for assessing speaking in Individual presentation
with expression of intention as the material and short conversation with
expression congratulating others as the material. The elements and the
characteristics of the rubrics are analyzed in both created process and the
natures of an analytic rubric.
Furthermore, the study is limited to the teacher who has created and
used the rubric for assessing students’ speaking skill. He is an English teacher
for seventh grade of Hospitality students at State Vocational High School 1
Buduran.
F. Key Terms 1. Hospitality
Based on Cambridge Advance Learner Dictionary, hospitality is defined as
a term when people are friendly and welcoming to guests and visitors. So,
hospitality students are only a group of people at State Vocational High
School 1 Buduran Sidoarjo who learn particular topics for hospitality
where the English is needed to be used in certain situation especially for
8
2. Speaking
Speaking is an interactive process of constructing meaning which is
comprised of producing and receiving information (Brown, 1994; Burns &
Joyce, 1997). Besides, speaking also classified to monologue and
dialogue8
. In education world, speaking practice is not just producing some
words in specific purposes. But, it must be assessed so both of the teacher
and learner will know someone’s ability in speaking.
3. Analytic Scoring Procedure
The procedure of scoring based on analysis of features is called analytic
(Lyoyd-Jones, 1997; White, 1985; Spandel and Stiggins, 1990). This
procedure provides two advantages especially for classroom purposes: as
an instrument to measure the students’ speaking proficiency and as a
diagnostic procedure for remedial teaching.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the researcher attempts to provide two sub-sections. The first is
the review of related literature which describes the basic theories used in this
research. The second is review of previous study; explains the differences of this
study from others which are conducted by other researchers.
A. Scoring Procedure of Speaking Test
The scoring procedure of a functional speaking test on the contrary is more
complicated as it requires the rater to pay attention to the overall components of
speaking skill at one time.1
The functional speaking test can be done in an
interactive communication or transactive one (Brown and Yule in Mukminatien,
2000: 39). Interactive communication is referring to the function of language to
maintain social interaction like interview and role play. The transitive interaction
is referring to a type of communication that is focused on conveying the
massage, and not on the interaction, like storytelling, giving speech, reading an
announcement, presenting a report, and many others. 2
According to Underhill in Nur Mukminatien (2000: 39) there are two
approaches in the scoring procedures of a speaking test, the analytic approach
1
Mukminatien, Nur. 2000. The Advantages of Using an Analytic Scoring Procedure in Speaking Assessment, TEFLIN Journal, Vol. XI, No. 1 Agustus 2000. Universitas Negeri Malang.

10
and the impressionistic approach3. First is scoring the learners’ speaking ability
by separating the components of speaking skill into sub skills, and the rater
scores each component, and then sums the sub scores into final score. The latter
is scoring/judging the learners’ speaking ability on the basis of the rater’s general
impression on the learners’ performance without necessarily separating the
speaking components.
B. Analytic Scoring Procedures
Jones et.al, defines that the procedure of scoring based on analysis of features is called analytic. Trong Tuan also states that analytic scoring is
assessment which the objectives of the final product is broken down into criteria
parts, and each part is scored independently.4
The procedures of this method
involve the separation of the various features of a discourse into categories for
scoring purpose, meanwhile the final score from this analytic is the rating which
is calculated and summarized from the total score for all of the parts that are
being evaluated. Therefore, to avoid bias towards the whole product, it is
necessary for the teacher to treat each criterion or part as separate. Related to this
research conducting in analyzing an analytic scoring procedure that the teacher
used in assessing speaking in Hospitality at State Vocational High School 1

Buduran, there are the advantages and the disadvantages of scoring procedures.
It is described as follow:
1. Advantages and Disadvantages of Analytic Scoring procedures
a. The Advantages
Analytic scoring is preferred over holistic schemes by many speaking
specialists for a number of reasons.5 It means that analytic scoring
provides more useful diagnostic information about students’ speaking
abilities in term of where their weaknesses are and where their strengths
are. Downing and Haladyna (2006) argues that analytic scoring has been
considered as more interpretable scoring approach because it can access
the examinee’s specific strengths and weaknesses and can identify the
particular components of speaking discourse that an examinee needs
developing.
Park (2004) identified that the explicitness of the analytic scoring
guides offers teachers a potentially valuable tool for providing speakers
with consistent and direct feedback6. He also adds that analytic scoring are
particularly useful for second language learners. Moreover, another author
examines that some learners who acquire English as their second language
may probably have excellent speaking skill in terms of its content and

12
organization, otherwise they may have much lower grammatical control;
others may have an excellent control of sentence structure, but may not
know how to organize their speech in a logical way. Thus, the analytic
scoring scales take a role when the same rubric categories repeatedly are
used to show students’ knowledge if they have made progress in some or
all aspects that being assessed7.
b. The Disadvantages
Another major of analytic scoring is the disadvantages of it. In this
case, rating speaking performance takes a lot of time since examiners are
required to make more than one decision for every speaking performance8.
When scoring analytically, an examiner has to check, consider, and score
each criterion of the speaking ability and then gives a total score
depending on the coefficient put forward. Hughes (2003) warned that in
scoring analytically, the criterion scored first may effect on subsequent
criteria which are scored later, making the overall effect of a speech
diverted to an individual criterion.
An additional problem with some analytic scoring schemes is that
even experienced essay judges sometimes find it difficult to assign
7

numerical scores based on certain descriptors9. In this aspect, there are
possibilities for scorers to disagree with one another. It is more difficult to
achieve intra- and inter-rater reliability on all of the dimensions in an
analytic scoring scheme than on a single score yielded by a holistic scale.
This disadvantage is inevitable, especially with trained or
un-experienced scorers. Grammar-related categories are somewhat wrong –
right categories whereas other categories are judgments. Focusing on
wrong – right categories will always be easier than judgments.
2. Analytic Oral Language Scoring Rubric
A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for students’ work that includes
descriptions of levels of performance quality on some particular criteria. The
main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances. Some performance
performances that might assess with rubrics are Oral communications
including Making a speech to the class, reading aloud, conversing in a foreign
language.
The genius of rubrics is that they are descriptive and not evaluative. Of
course, rubrics can be used to evaluate, but the operating principle is you
match the performance to the description rather than “judge” it. Thus good
rubrics have to State standards, curriculum goals, and instructional goals and
objectives are the sources for what types of performances your students
9
14
should be able to do. Rubrics are usually categorized by two different aspects
of their composition. One is whether the rubric treats the criteria one at a time
or together. The other is whether the rubric is general or is task-specific and
only applicable to one assessment.
There are two approaches in the scoring procedures of a speaking test, the
analytic approach and the impressionistic approach10. Analytic rubrics
describe work on each criterion separately. Holistic rubrics describe the work
by applying all the criteria at the same time and enabling an overall judgment
about the quality of the work.
Indonesian teachers mostly tend to use numeric scores in interpreting
students’ score. Even though particular measurements and the details of
scoring method are included, the levels of the students’ achievement during
the learning process and the explanation of their result are significantly
needed. In connecting to this, some specific scales in different criteria and
levels are considered. Therefore, most classroom purposes, analytic rubrics
are best11. Focusing on the criteria because students can see what aspects of
their work need what kind of attention. It will also be used to make decisions
about the future. For example, it is a diagnostic procedure for remedial
teaching and as a procedure to teach something next year.

3. Characteristics of Analytical Scoring Procedure
a. Created Process
Rubrics provide the criteria for assessing students' work. They can be
used to classify virtually any product or behavior, such as essays, research
reports, portfolios, and works of art, recitals, oral presentations,
performances, and group activities. Judgments can be self-assessments by
students; or judgments can be made by others, such as faculty, other
students, fieldwork supervisors, and external reviewers. Rubrics can be
used to provide formative feedback to students, to grade students, and to
assess courses or programs.
As mentioned above, rubric is divided into two kinds: holistic rubric
(one global, holistic score for a product or behavior) and analytic rubric
(separate, holistic scoring of specified characteristics of a product or
behavior). Specifically, as this research is focused on analytic rubric, there
are some particular characteristics explained by Allen in these following
details12:
1) Based on the standards
Standards are typically one-sentence statements of what students
should know and be able to do at a certain point. There are many
sources that teachers can find examples of goals and standards that
12
16
might be appropriate for students. There are national and state
standards as well as numerous websites with many good choices.
Regarding to this, there are three steps in deciding the standards:
reflect, review and write. Basically, it is unnecessary to start from
scratch, which can confine teacher’s thinking. However, it is necessary
to look at the work of others; therefore, considering what do teacher
really wants the students to know and be able to do when they leave
the grade or school. This is called as reflection. As a result of this
reflection, teacher might reach consensus on a few things you most
value and agree should be included in the standards. Teacher might
actually write a few standards or, teacher might produce a long list of
possible candidates for standards. Furthermore, reviewing is the next
step. Then, the last one is writing. After writing the standards, it is
considerable to make guiding questions to the standards makers or
teachers’ partners.
2) Designed to assess created authentic task
Authentic assessment does not compete with traditional assessments
like tests. Rather, they complement each other. Each typically serves
different assessment needs, so a combination of the two is often
appropriate. As teacher wants to find a way students can demonstrate
17
consider the authentic task is also designed based on the standards and
the real world. Therefore, as the task for students is good, the analytic
rubric should be created and scaled based on the task given as well.
3) Consists of the characteristics of good criterion
Criteria here mean indicators of good performance on a task. In order
to concept an analytic rubric, questions such as "What does good
performance on this task look like?" or "How will I know they have
done a good job on this task?" frequently need to be appeared. In
answering those questions teacher will be identifying the criteria for
good performance on that task. Teacher will use those criteria to
evaluate how well students completed the task and, thus, how well
they have met the standard or standards. Regarding to this, the first
thing to be considered is the number of criteria is the essential
elements of the task; the next one is everything on every task is not
assessed; and the last is numbers of criteria are based on the kinds of
assignment.
4) The same number of levels of performance for each criterion within a rubric
As mentioned before, keep the number of criteria manageable.
Teacher does not have to look for everything on every assessment.
18
rubric, three levels for two other criteria, and four levels for another
criterion, all within the same rubric. Rubrics are very flexible. There is
no need to force an unnatural judgment of performance just to
maintain standardization within the rubric. If one criterion is a simple
either/or judgment and another criterion requires finer distinctions,
then the rubric can reflect that variation.
5) Additional descriptors to each level of performance
Descriptors are recommended but not required in a rubric. As
described in rubrics, descriptors are the characteristics of behavior
associated with specific levels of performance for specific criteria. For
example, in the following portion of an elementary science rubric, the
criteria are observations are thorough, predictions are reasonable, and
conclusions are based on observations. Labels (limited, acceptable,
proficient) for the different levels of performance are also included.
Students will be more certain what are expected to reach each level of
performance on the rubric if descriptors are provided. Furthermore, the
more detail a teacher provides about what good performance looks like
on a task the better a student can approach the task. Teachers benefit
as well when descriptors are included. A teacher is likely to be more
objective and consistent when applying a descriptor such as "most
19
such as "acceptable." Similarly, if more than one teacher is using the
same rubric, the specificity of the descriptors increases the chances
that multiple teachers will apply the rubric in a similar manner. When
a rubric is applied more consistently and objectively it will lead to
greater reliability and validity in the results.
6) Assigning point values to performance on each criterion
As mentioned above, rubrics are very flexible tools. Just as the number
of levels of performance can vary from criterion to criterion in an
analytic rubric, points or value can be assigned to the rubric in a
myriad of ways. For example, a teacher who creates a rubric might
decide that certain criteria are more important to the overall
performance on the task than other criteria. So, one or more criteria
can be weighted more heavily when scoring the performance. For
example, in a rubric for solo auditions, a teacher might consider five
criteria: (how well students demonstrate) vocal tone, vocal technique,
rhythm, diction and musicality. For this teacher, musicality might be
the most important quality that she has stressed and is looking for in
the audition. She might consider vocal technique to be less important
than musicality but more important than the other criteria. So, she
might give musicality and vocal technique more weight in her rubric.
20
7) Equal intervals between the point values in a rubric
Analytic rubrics are flexible tools. Shape them to fit teacher’s needs,
not the other way around. In other words, points should be distributed
across the levels of a rubric to best capture the value you assign to
each level of performance. So, feeling bound by any format constraints
when constructing a rubric is not necessary. The rubric should best
capture what you value in performance on the authentic task. The
more accurately your rubric captures what you want your students to
know and be able to do the more valid the scores will be.
8) Checking the rubric
As a final check on a rubric, teacher can do any or all of the following
before applying it: let a colleague review it, let students review it -- is
it clear to them, check if it aligns or matches up with standards, check
if it is manageable, consider imaginary student performance on the
rubric. The last suggestion, imagine that a student had met specific
levels of performance on each criterion (for an analytic rubric). Then
make sure if that performance translates into the score that is
seemingly appropriate. Of course, teacher will never know if he/she
really has a good rubric until it is applied. So, working to perfect the
21
and then try it. Find out what needs to be modified and make the
appropriate changes.
b. Natures
Scoring rubrics are explicit schemes for classifying products or
behaviors into categories that vary along a continuum. Some particular
natures are identified based on the advantages and the function of analytic
rubric; it can be identified as these following points:
1) Helps to examine efficiently complex products or behaviors
Specific criteria in analytic rubric help teacher a lot in examining
complex products created by students or behaviors that are going to be
measured. The levels also give specific and clearer explanation for
characteristics that have good or bad scores.
2) Helps to precisely define targets or expectations
The specific criteria mentioned in analytic rubric can facilitate teacher
in indicating the definition of targeted or expected achievement for
students’ products, performances, and behaviors that are going to be
assessed.
3) Criterion-referenced
Each criterion of the criteria mentioned in the rubric has to have
22
or expected. In addition, the description should be referenced based on
the criterion.
4) Ratings can be done by students to assess their own work or others
In analytic rubric, as there are specific definition of the target and
expectation, the scales are also clear enough for people who read it, so
the assessment is possibly applicable for the students who has their
works or even other students to assess their friends.
5) Gives diagnostic information to teacher
As this is talking about analytic rubric, the result of the assessment
process using the rubric should be analytic as well. It means the
information should be clear and detail based on the criteria and the
explanation about the target that students have to achieve.
6) Gives formative feedback to students
As explained in the previous point, analytic rubric is accessible for
everyone, both students and teacher to assess something. This means,
the feedback that is reflected as a result of measurement using the
rubric is clearer for everyone as well; moreover for students whose
23
7) Easier to link to instruction
When teacher gives task to students, there must be instructions as well.
Therefore, every criterion in the rubric has to be connected to the
instruction from the teacher as well.
8) Accessible for formative assessment
According to Susan, analytic rubric is designed to assess formative
assessment. The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student
learning to provide on-going feedback that can be used by teacher to
improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning.
Specifically, it helps students to identify their strengths and
weaknesses and target areas that need works.
9) Adaptable for summative assessment
As explained above, analytic rubric is created for formative
assessment; as consequences, summative assessment can be measured
by this rubric when it is adapted. The goal of summative assessment is
to evaluate students learning at the end of an instructional unit by
comparing it against some standards. It often has a high point value.
10)Can be combined when overall score for grading is needed
It is easier for teacher to wrap up the result of students’ achievement
during the learning process or the result of the task by combining the
24
countable and it can be rated based on the grade, the analytic rubric is
considerable.
C. English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
Over the last three decades, English for specific purposes (ESP) has become
a successful field13
. English was born in the 190s as a technical texts-analysis
area14
. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has boomed in regular education
such in Vocational High School. Some of vocational High School inserts ESP in
learning English. In addition, the approach to language description for English
Academic Purposes developed by Swales (1990) has been embraced by ESP15.
Based on Swales, 1992: 300 English for specific purposes (ESP) is a
subdivision of a wider field, language for specific purposes which is defined as
the area of inquiry and practice in the development of language programs for
people who need a language to meet a predictable range of communicative
needs16
.in addition, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is a learner-centered
approach to teaching English as an additional language which focuses on
developing English communication skills in a specific discipline, such as
accounting, management, education, law, engineering, IT technology, health and

medicine. It involves teaching and learning the specific skill and language
needed by particular learners for a particular purpose.
In other hand, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) as a learner-centered
approach, its main purpose has been that of fulfilling the specific needs of target
learners to satisfy either their professional or vocational demands17
. Typically,
ESP has functioned to help language learners cope with the features of language
or to develop the competencies needed to function in a discipline, profession, or
workplace18
.
D. Previous Studies
It has been prove that Analytic scoring procedure more advantageous
compared to the impressionistic one. But, some researchers have studied some
issues dealing with Analytic Scoring procedure in different focus and different
sub. The findings of studies almost show same result.
The first study is by Luu Trong Tuan, 2012, University for Natural
Resources and Environment, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Teaching and Assessing Speaking Performance trough Analytic Scoring Approach. The aim of this research was to examine if the analytic scoring approach in teaching and
assessment would be more effective for improving students’ speaking

performance19
. The research also explored the students’ attitude towards the
implementation of analytic scoring approach in speaking teaching and
assessment.
Then the second study is by Ying-Yung Chuang, Cheng Shiu University,
China Taiwan. Foreign Language Speaking Assessment: Chinese Taiwanese
College English Teachers’ Scoring Performance in the Holistic and Analytic
Rating Methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate college English
teachers’ scoring performance of the Holistic and Analytic rating methods, their
views and concerns with the components of oral skills, and whether teachers’
background variables influenced their scoring performance. 20
The third study is by Daruwan Srikaew, Kamonwan Tangdhanakanond,
Sirichai Kanjanawasee, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. English Speaking Skills Assessment for Grade 6 Thai Students: An Application of Multivariate Genenralizability Theory. This research studies an analytic rating scale for an English speaking skills assessment designed for Grade 6 Thai students learning
English as a foreign language. The results showed that fluency was the greatest
variance component of the composite score of the analytic rating scale, followed
by ideational function, cohesion, vocabulary and syntax, and pronunciation

respectively. Reliability of the composite score for the speaking analytic rating
scale was high. It was found that the reliability coefficients for each component
would be reliable when six or more tasks are used and the number of raters is
from 6–10 and above. The dependability increased more when the number of
tasks increased and when the number of raters increased. It was also found that a
reliable high Phi Coefficient (over .80) could be obtained using only 6 tasks and
3 raters21
.
The forth study is by Chunguang Tian, Binzhou University. On the Construct Validity of an Analytic Rating Scale for Speaking Assessment. This paper aims to study the construct validity of an analytic rating scale for speaking
assessment. The Multi-facet Rasch Modeling method and the correlations
analysis are combined to investigate the construct validity. the analytic rating
scale can reflect the students’ speaking ability22
.
The fifth study is by Cynthia S. Wiseman, City University of New York. A Comparison of the Performance of Analytic vs. Holistic Scoring Rubrics to Assess L2 Writing. This study compared the performance of a holistic and an analytic scoring rubric to assess ESL writing for placement and diagnostic
purposes in a community college basic skills program. The study also

28
investigated whether each category in the two six-point rubrics were useful. Both
scales appeared to be measuring a single latent trait of writing ability23
.
The last study is by Nur Mukminatien, State University of Malang. The Advantages of Using Analytic Scoring Procedure in Speaking Assessment. This article intends to describe the advantages of Analytic Scoring Procedure and to
make a proof that Analytic scoring procedure is more advantageous compared to
the impressionistic (holistic) one. Besides directed to show that using an analytic
procedure in speaking assessment, in which the scoring procedure is based on
the analysis of features of speaking ability, is more advantageous than using an
impressionistic one (sometimes called a holistic approach) for two major
reasons.
Most of researchers find out the effectiveness of those scoring procedure by
comparing both of analytic and impressionistic. In this research, the researcher
wants to find out resemblance of the teacher’s rubric for speaking assessment
with the characteristic of Analytic Scoring rubric and make it related with
English for Specific Purposes (ESP).

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
This chapter deals with the procedures for conducting the study. It covers
Research design, subject of research, data and source of data, research process,
research instrument, data collection technique, and data analysis technique.
A. Research Design
This study designed to obtain information and description concerning
teachers’ rubric for speaking assessment then found out whether the teacher’s
rubric resemble to the characteristic of Analytic Scoring procedure or did not.
Therefore, the design of this study was descriptive-qualitative since the
purpose of this study is to describe the resemblance of a rubric. This
descriptive study used to gain certain information about a certain
phenomenon that happens when this study is conducted1
.
Based on Wallace, J, qualitative research is a method that uses to
analyze the data which cannot be counted. This research was coded the data
based on explanation of informants. Moreover, qualitative research was
concerned with developing explanations of social phenomena2
.

B. Subject of Research
The research subject of this research is the English teacher of
hospitality program in SMKN 1 Buduran, Sidoarjo. He is Mr. Mochammad
Anwar, which is only English teacher of hospitality program.
Mr. Anwar finished is graduated from English Education Department
of STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo in 1999. He started to teach since 2000/2001.
During his career, he had teaching experiences in three different schools.
First, he taught at SMA Tribhakti Tanggulangin from the academic year
2000/2001 to 2009/2010. Then, he started to teach English in MA Mambaul
Hikam Tanggulangin from the academic year 2002/2003 to 2009/2010. At
the same year, he also started to teach English in SMKN 1 Buduran. In 2010,
he decided to resign from two previous schools before and focused on
teaching English in hospitality program at State Vocational High School 1
Buduran.
C. Setting of the Research
1. Place
The research was conducted at SMKN 1 Buduran which was
located in St. Jenggolo No. 1B Sidoarjo. The research was focused on
Hospitality program because this is a program where the students have
31
their future career3. Therefore, there would be more chance for the teacher
to use authentic materials in English language teaching.
2. Time
The research was done starting from 6th June 2016. Document
analysis was started from 6th of October until a week before the last
interview. The interview was done on 11th June 2016. To complete the
missing data, the second interview was done on 29th of October 2016. By
conducting the interview after school hour and on the weekend, it would
not disturb the teaching and learning process.
D. Data and Source of Data
1. Data
The data that is used in this study is elements of the rubric used by the
teacher in assessing students’ speaking skill for two lessons and materials.
Particularly, the first rubric is a scoring procedure for individual
presentation which is used for ‘expression of intention’ lessons. The
second rubric is used for assessing short conversation and the material is
about ‘congratulating others’. In addition, teacher’s responds towards
interview given by the researcher will support the data got from the
rubric’s observation checklist.
3
32
2. Source of Data
Related to the data that are needed in this research, as the document is
the teacher’s rubrics; the documents is obtained the teacher’s file. Also,
the respondent of the interview of this study is the teacher as well.
Therefore, the source of the data here is the English teacher for seventh
grade of Hospitality students at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran,
Sidoarjo.
E. Research Instruments
1. The main instrument
The main instrument in this research was the researcher. The
researcher collected the data from Document study (Rubric Checklist)
and teachers. The researcher analyzed the rubric and interview from
the teacher.
2. Instrument Tools
There were two instrument tools that were used in this research:
a. Interview guidelines are questions for the subject of this research
and this is often used to obtain the subject perception and attitudes
of the issues. The methods are highly structured, formal interview,
taped, and transcribed. In this researcher, the researcher used
interview style semi-structured. From this style the researcher
33
Analyzing the interview data used two key ways. The first is
thematic generation is describe the perspective of the subject and
make the conclusion. The second is citation is directly quote the
subject’s sentences. In this case the researcher should directly write
the name of the subject4
. The researcher used both of two ways to
answer the research questions.
b. Observation Checklist
The observation checklist is needed to analyze the rubrics. The
document needed to be analyzed in the teacher’s rubric for
speaking assessment of hospitality students at State Vocational
High School 1 Buduran. To analyze the rubric, the result of
interview with the teacher was used. The result of both Checklist
rubric and interview answered the research question.
c. Document
Document study was the record or history of the data that the
research analyzed. The document in this study is the teacher’s
rubric for assessing speaking in tenth grade of hospitality students
at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran. To analyze the rubric,
the result of interview with the teacher was used. The result of both
Checklist rubric and interview answered the research question.
4
34
d. Tape Recorder
This interview has been done orally. In interviewing the teacher,
the researcher use recorder in order to keep the data. As the result
of interview is used as a supporting data as the in answering the
research question, it is very important to make sure that the data
would not be lost.
F. Data Collection Technique
In this research, the data was collected from the rubric used by the
teacher to assess students’ ability in speaking. The researcher asked the rubric
and analyzed it by using checklist rubric; did an interview with the teacher’s
to enrich understanding of the data. There are three kinds of interview, they
are: formal, informal, and standardized interview5. This study used formal
interview because the researcher had an interview with some of the teachers
of Hospitality program at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran Sidoarjo.
The result of both Checklist rubric and interview answered the research
question.
G. Data Analysis Technique
The researcher analyzed the data by using descriptive qualitative
method. The data was obtained from document and interview. After collecting
5
35
the documents, the researcher analyzed it by using checklist rubric about the
valid analytic scoring rubric for oral assessment adapted from two theories.
First, the theory from Mary J. Allen in her book Developing and Applying Rubric,6
and the Theory from Susan M. Brookhartin his book by the title
“How to Create and Use Rubrics for Formative Assessment and Grading”7.
So, to analyze the information from the whole data, it would be conducted by
using descriptive manner as follow8:
1. Identified the data based on the statement of problem
2. Classified each information based on each item of the interview and
observation
3. Verified and interpret the data
4. Draw the conclusion
H. Checking Validity of Findings
In checking validity of the findings, the researcher used triangulation
technique. As explained by Angen, triangulation in qualitative research is
generally used as technique to ensure that data of the research is rich, robust,

comprehensive, and well-developed.9 Additionally, Creswell also revealed
that using a single method can never adequately shed light on a phenomenon;
therefore multiple methods or techniques are needed in order to get deeper
understanding.10
In Denzin, there are four types of triangulation; those are methods
triangulation, triangulation of sources, analyst triangulation, and
theory/perspective triangulation.11 When analyzing data, the researcher also
crosschecked the findings using theory/perspective triangulation; as several
Analytic scoring procedure theories were regarded. Furthermore, analyst
triangulation was applied as well; besides the researcher, expert lecturers,
including the advisors also have ensured the findings.
I. Research Stages
In this research stages, the research explained the process of conducting
the research, including: preliminary research, planning, collecting data,
analyzing, and concluding data, as these following explanations:
1. Preliminary research
For the preliminary research, the researcher made an appointment with
the teacher at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran Sidoarjo to have

37
a consultation among this research. The researcher asked some
questions about practicing speaking and the way to assess it to make
sure that the teacher assesses it by using a rubric.
2. Planning
After conducting the preliminary research, the researcher made the
instruments for collecting the data of the study. A checklist rubric was
provided for assessing the compliance of teacher’s rubric with the
theory of analytic scoring rubric. Those checklist rubric as the
instrument of this study had to be validated first to the lecturer. After
passing the process of instruments validity, the researcher conducted the
research by using the instruments of research.
3. Collecting Data
In this stage, the researcher collected the data from a rubric used by
APH’s teacher to assess their students’ speaking ability. Then, the
teacher’s rubric was analyzed by using a document checklist to collect
some data from it.
4. Analyzing
After collecting the data, the researcher analyzed the teaching stages of
the lesson plans with the guidance of the theory in the literature review.
The result of the analysis was written descriptively. The researcher
38
answering the following research question and the result of the analysis
were written quantitatively at the findings and discussions.
5. Concluding data
The research summarized all information which found by the researcher.
The researcher served the data quantitatively. Then, the researcher
discussed all information concerning the research to obtain the research
data. Finally, the research concluded the research findings to answer the
CHAPTER IV
FINDING AND DISCUSSION
This chapter presents the collected data from teacher’s analytic scoring rubrics
and teacher’s responds towards the interview, also the analysis of it. The results of the
checklist also the teacher’s responds are showed as research findings. Furthermore,
the analyzed data is explained in discussion part.
A. Research Findings
Following the research question that discuss about the teachers’ rubric
compliance with the characteristic of analytic scoring procedure, the researcher
serves the data that found at State Vocational High School 1 Buduran. This
section contains on the detail information about the result of research which is
used two kinds of instrument those are observation checklist and interview. The
result of observation checklist presented in tabular form which is followed by the
result of teacher’s explanation supporting the checklist made by the researcher
which is taken from the interview section. The teacher’s explanation is presented
descriptively.
In particular, the two analytic rubrics are used in this research. Both of
those rubrics are rubric for assessing speaking skill of Vocational students
40
made by team teaching of that school then distribute to each proper class. Based
on the lesson plan which the researcher gained from the teacher, the first rubric is
created for assessing students speaking skill on learning material expression of
intention in individual presentation. The second rubric is for dialogue
congratulating others material.
Although those rubrics are created by the same person, but each rubric
has differences in some aspects based on created process and natures. From the
checklist of analytic rubric criteria, both of the first rubric and the second rubric
show several dissimilar results in some points of analytic rubric’s characteristics
stated by Allen as explained in theoretical framework in chapter 2.
1. The Compliance Assessing Rubric with Analytic Scoring Procedure Based on Created Process
Compliance with effective analytic scoring procedure has particular indicators
from two points of view. This section is focused on the created process’ point of
view; this following table explains about the result of the observation checklist
for the first rubric which assesses individual presentation and short conversation,
41
Table 4.1
Characteristic of Analytic Rubric based on Created Process
The table above is an illustration about the result of the observation checklist.
Specifically, related to the research question which tries to figure out the
compliance of the teacher’s rubric for assessing individual presentation and
rubric for assessing short conversation based on created process, these following
tables represent explanation about the result of the analysis using the observation
checklist and the interview.
42
Table 4.2
Characteristic of Analytic Rubric “Based on the Standard”
Aspects Rubric
The teacher just refers to the material that would be delivered. There is no reflection, and the rubric by using the standart of teaching refers to the material that would be delivered.
√
The table above shows that both rubrics are not based on the standard,
because the rubric developers did not make an official standard in creating the
rubric with the three steps based on the theory. In addition, the teacher’s respond
to the interview shows that there is no standard exactly in creating an assessment
rubric for speaking test, but he always considers what kind of task that he will
