Students need opportunities to be creative and express themselves while learning a new language, during both classroom activities and tests at the end of a term or unit. The focus of the author's practice when assessing students' knowledge is to use creative dialogue techniques as a way to prevent students from simply repeating a given dialogue they had studied or prepared. But how can teachers motivate students to interact creatively. In this article, the author presents an interactive evaluation method for use with upper-beginner and intermediate students in communicative English courses. This method--which can also be used to give students general practice--draws from interactive oral tests the author has used and is an attempt to make students use language within a communicative context. In the process, students exchange information and do not use language predictably, enabling them to converse while being assessed or while practicing.
