This rubric evaluates Mandarin oral presentations across several criteria: Pronunciation and tones are rated on a scale from affecting comprehensibility to being consistently clear and easy to follow. Use of digital media or visual displays are rated on being confusing or informative and polished. Presentational skills like posture, eye contact, volume, and pacing are rated on demonstrating control, establishing eye contact, being loud enough, and engaging pacing. Interaction with the audience is rated on the response to questions.
