Abstract

<jats:p>The Japan Online English Speech Contest (JOESC) was created in 2014 by the Speech, Drama, and Debate Special Interest Group (SDD SIG) of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (JALT). This paper describes what the contest is, how it was created, who participated, and how it was administered. It also explains the various problems encountered, specifically regarding the creation of a judging rubric and the inter-rater reliability among all the judges. Some suggestions for improvement, including greater participation in the rubric-creating process and pre-contest training of judges, will help create a better JOESC 2015.</jats:p>
