Commentary: |
As with some other speaking tasks, year 4 students performed comparably to year 8 students in expressiveness, but lower in their co-ordination with other performers. There was little change between 2004 and 2008. On average, girls did markedly better than boys, and Pakeha students than Mäori and Pasifika students. |
