In this kind of assessment, learners are asked to perform some tasks and subsequently their performance is judged against specific criteria known to them in advance. The criteria will guide them to produce satisfactory performance. This paper discusses performance assessment and scoring rubrics, the tools suitable for assessing performance or products. Furthermore, it spells out how performance assessment may be used with EFL learners in pronunciation class and what scoring rubric is suitable to evaluate the learners' performance. © Asian EFL Journal 2018.
