Acquisition of effective oral evaluation strategies that support learning might be difficult for beginner teachers. The aim of the research is to examine the teachers’ oral evaluation in classroom discourse on the bases of recordings of teacher trainees’ lessons, and also to determine the types of evaluating utterances appearing in teachers’ turns. The study shows the different types of the teachers’ evaluation utterances in the frontal lesson sections on the bases of video recordings of 4 lessons and their transcripts according to the speech acts. It attempts to identify the characteristic features of verbal assessment strategies by analyzing students’ responses and the types of utterances which appear in teachers’ turns. The research contributes to the further examination of motivating assessment strategies which might play an important role in the positive change of student activity and learning outcomes.
