conduct the Speaking and Listening Assessment (ASL) had been uploaded on
the CBSE Academic
Website www.cbseacademic.in vide circular no.: 63 dated 12, September,
2012. It is expected that all the schools affiliated to CBSE have
conducted the Speaking and Listening Assessment as per the guidelines
uploaded at school level in Std IX and added the marks in the SA I and

The CBSE has asked schools that the assessment of Speaking and Listening
(ASL) has to be conducted by every school in class X (2013-14) also.
The weightage of 10 marks will be added in the written paper of 80 marks
to make it 90 marks for each Summative Assessment respectively. As part
of evidence of Assessment schools are expected to maintain the files of
audio recording of the Speaking Assessment of students to be sent to
the CBSE along with the Award list of Speaking and Listening for SA II
Examination. The modified guidelines of the Speaking and Listening
assessment are being uploaded on the CBSE Academic website very shortly.
All the head of schools may schedule the conduct of the school-based
assessment for Std X for SA-II from November 15 till December 15 each
year, to avoid any inconvenience. The monitoring of the school based
assessment of speaking and listening skills will be done by the CBSE
