This article presents a review and analysis of a documentary corpus related to the assessment of oral language in the context of education between 2000 and 2022, aiming to identify the trends in this field and the inflection points that generate tensions and may open new lines of research. Based on a hermeneutic analysis that enables an interrelation of information, four trends emerge in the assessment of oral language: works that suggest oral evaluation instruments, works that include proposals for evaluating the orality of a foreign language, works related to the assessment of oral discursive genres, and alternatives for the assessment of oral language in the classroom. The intersection of these trends configures inflection points entailing two contradictions in the comparison with that stipulated and naturalized in oral language assessment: 1) the formation of discursive subjects: between what is taught and what is evaluated; and 2) feedback: between the given meaning and the constructed one. This implies a need to conceive dialogical assessment as a possibility for the transition to an interdimensional assessment in teaching oral language.

Palabras clave : assessment; oral language; dialogue; contradictions.
