There is a detailed 8-page pdf article (both in English and Portuguese) by Willian Hote Scanferla et al. at Codas on April 27, 2026 titled Indicators for evaluating public speaking in adults: a scoping review. It has 42 references!
Their conclusion is that:
“The mapping identified recurring indicators in public speaking assessment: discourse structure (introduction, development, organization, clarity, conclusion), supporting resources, language (audience appropriateness, argumentation, pronunciation, fluency), nonverbal behaviors (eye contact, gestures, posture, facial expressiveness), and vocal expressiveness (volume, rhythm, pitch, articulation, modulation). The predominant form of measurement was the Likert-type scale.”
The fourth reference in this article is to one by Tingting Liu and Vahid Aryadoust in Behavioral Sciences on August 20, 2024 (Volume 14, Number 8) titled Orchestrating Teacher, Peer, and Self-Feedback to Enhance Learners’ Cognitive, Behavioral, and Emotional Engagement and Public Speaking Confidence which I discussed in my post on May 14, 2026.
And the sixteenth reference is to another article which I blogged about on July 9, 2012 in a post titled A new scale (rubric) for evaluating speeches. The twenty-first reference is to the Competent Speaker Speech Evaluation Form from the U.S. National Communication Association (NCA). I blogged about it and others in a post on April 3, 2018 titled Speech evaluation rubrics: how many levels should be on the scale. And which way should it point?
