Now it's time for you to listen to that recording of your self test.
Analyze what you did in each part.
Part one, part two.
Part three in terms of the rubric is not about how you feel, but how you do it according to the rubric
fluency and coherence, pronunciation grammar lexical ability.
Upload your recording it to the outer website so you can get a transcription of your speaking performance,
examine your grammar and lexical by looking at that transcription, check your pronunciation.
If the transcription is is accurately typing out all of your words, that means your pronunciation is
on point.
Make make notes in all these areas so you can see where you can improve and do better on the next self
practice test.

This allows for you to make comments about how you're doing in each section or if you're working with
a partner.
This is where your partner will make comments about how well you did according to the rubric, and you
can do the same thing for your partner.
Partnerships and study groups are great.
