Abstract

The study focused on the comparative correlative study Test Rubrics Used as Benchmarks in Assessing International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Speaking Skills. To carry out this project, the researcher searched for IELTS and TOEFL candidates and recruited and finally selected 37 male and female candidates who took both standard tests for various reasons. The statistical results obtained (mainly Pearson's correlation coefficient of correlation moments) showed significant joint variability between IELTS Speaking scores derived from IELTS test bars and frequency band description factors, TOEFL Speaking scores derived from TOEFL test bars, and assessment scores. criteria. The results show that there is a high correlation index (0.862**) between the two tests scoring systems for speaking. The results also reflect a high correlation index (.903**) between the two tests scoring systems, assessing general English proficiency and speaking ability using both tests rubrics.
