CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation), the flagship project of CBSE has clearly outlined the significance of speaking and listening skills as part of co-scholastic areas of achievement by every learner and also stresses the clear integration of assessment of speaking and listening skills as a part of the curriculum transaction.

During this exchange, while assessing students' speaking - listening skills, mark/s would be deducted for Speaker II as:

• as he has not responded to the question properly.
• He has only provided the answer in one word.

• ​The Listening Comprehension section tests the student’s ability to listen for basic interpersonal, instructional, and academic purposes.
• A number of sub-skills need to be developed in the everyday classroom transaction. The Listening Assessment comprises a variety of tasks. These tasks are graded according to the length of the task and the difficulty level.
• The Speaking skill had acquired a very important place as a communication skill. Like listening skills, a number of sub-skills of speaking need to be consciously developed among students.

Thus, it is concluded that during the assessment of students' speaking-listening skills, mark/s would be deducted during this exchange for the second speaker.
