Abstract
'Why should instructors use rubrics to evaluate oral presentations? Assessing oral presentations is a complex ritual, as it involves multiple activities that need to be monitored simultaneously. A rubric is an assessment tool that is transparent and can also transcend the subjective bias of English language instructors. While using rubrics in evaluating oral presentation is nothing new, the few available studies in the Bangladeshi context suggest that this practice might not be very familiar to instructors and learners, particularly in an EFL country like ours. The primary focus of this paper is to find out the potential of rubrics in evaluating English oral presentations in Bangladesh. especially in private universities. At the same time, this paper looks at teachers' perspectives regarding rubrics in evaluating oral presentations. The outcome of this study, on the one hand, suggests that the proper use of rubric can have a positive effect on learners' preparation and performance of oral presentations by gradually increasing their metacognitivc awareness, and on the other hand, benefits EFL instructors in terms of justifying students' evaluation and providing constructive feedback.
