Abstract
The objective of the research was to apply an alternative evaluation to the oral production of the students of level 2 of the Medicine Career of the Public Health Faculty of the Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo. For this purpose, a field, bibliographic and educational research with descriptive interpretation was applied, using a different rubric from the traditional one, which included pronunciation criteria and fluency in techniques and activities such as: interview, role-play, reading aloud task, dialogue completion task and picture-cued tasks. The evaluation was applied to a sample composed of students from the second level class "D" (Control Group) and "E" (Experimental Group). The control group used a traditional evaluation, while the experimental group adapted the criteria of fluency and pronunciation to the rubric. The data obtained from the groups were processed, analyzed and interpreted through statistical bar charts, which were compared and allowed to conclude that the evaluation of the experimental group affects the practice of the oral production of the English language, since considering the pronunciation and fluency as feedback in the techniques used, they improved the learning of the students regarding the speaking skill.
