Opis (eng)

Abstract: The main aim of the study was to determine whether the assumed components of L2 speaking proficiency constitute the construct itself. The subsidiary aim was to check inter-rater reliability, in order to establish whether the raters used similar criteria while testing speaking proficiency. Thirty philological class students were tested individually by two independent raters on five trait categories (pronunciation, grammar, lexis, fluency, content). The results indicate that the ratings are reliable and that the construct of L2 speaking proficiency comprises all of the assumed components. This provides support for the use of a five-trait-category model in testing speaking proficiency in an L2 in practice. However, due to the size of the sample and its nature, the model needs further empirical testing
