This paper tries to find out an answer to the following question: What is the Instructor's role in the assessment process? and what are the strategies for assessing speaking in EFL classes from instructors' perspective? Furthermore, The paper has been limited to instructors of Cihan University-Erbil and Salahaddin University-Erbil for the academic year 2022-2023.
