• In the past few years, several articles have come out in Japan which describe techniques that encourage and measure oral communication, referred to in this paper as TEMOC. This paper asks the following questions: Are TEMOC in fact a valid measure of the learners' oral proficiency? Dose language learning result from regularly monitoring and rewarding the use of spoken English in the classroom? And, in what way does the regular measure of oral communication complement the established testing norms of many Japanese schools? The results of this three-year study found that TEMOC may have some educational value in Japanese language classes, provided they are used fairly and consistently. This study suggests that TEMOC have the potential to be a valid measure of the learners' oral ability. Under certain circumstances, TEMOC may even help learners to better acquire the target language. However, other findings warn against using TEMOC as a measure of grammatical knowledge or written skills.
