This paper aims to investigate more effective ways of performance assessment of English speaking that can be available in Korean secondary schools. Questionnaire data and written comments collected from thirty-six English teachers were analyzed. The results indicate that most of the participants think that performance assessment of speaking has validity and reliability, but that it is time-consuming and difficult to score students' speaking performance objectively. Participants were found to think of the usefulness and importance of assessing speaking in the order of pictured-cued description, oral interview, question-and-answer, role play, oral presentation, discussion, story-telling, and dialog completion task. This study suggested more useful ways of performance assessment of speaking skills of Korean secondary EFL learners such as oral interview, role play, question-and-answer technique, which are time-efficient and more practical, presenting a combination of analytic and holistic scoring systems.
