The four sets of experimental tests are given in two locations for thirty sixth graders each. The survey was also conducted for student participants. The study also finds rater reliability between three teacher raters and a computer rating. The findings are as follows: Content validity of test items was confirmed and reliability of test items on listening were high, but reliability of test items on speaking was slightly low. The inter-rater reliability on three evaluators was remarkably high, but the inter-rater reliability on the computer was somewhat low.
