Oral examination appeared challenging to evaluate due to the presence of human evaluators. The speaking method depends on the test's reliability, determined by the raters' scores. The current study is aimed at evaluating the speaking test's interrater reliability utilized to measure the speaking performance of Common First Year (CFY) students during remote learning. The data were obtained from 56 EFL learners using a scoring sheet and rubrics. Eight raters were responsible for rating the study. The speaking test's reliability was estimated using quantitative data analysis. Correlation coefficients and the Bland-Altman test were employed to assess raters' agreement. SPSS was utilized to analyze the data in this investigation. The study's findings suggested that the speaking exam used in the CFY program during remote learning has shown some reliability on correlations and acceptable norms on the Bland-Altman test.

A better instrument for the exploration of a novel teaching approach has been the increasingly growing scientific tools and techniques such as multimedia technology. Multimedia technology, in particular, in non-native language contexts, plays an essential role in English language education. It also intends to raise awareness of the strategies to effectively deploy non-mutual English speakers as language teachers. The study presents a detailed analysis of the role of multimedia tools and technology. Advantages and disadvantages of multimedia tools and technology are described at length, recommendations are made and conclusion is drawn. It is believed that the use of multimedia technology can ensure effective language teaching and enhance learners' linguistic abilities. Keywords-communicative abilities, interactive models of learning, language teaching, multimedia tools, non-native users of English.

The researcher gathered information from participants using a questionnaire survey and a test administered by the researchers. Using Arabic as a facilitating aid in English classes in Saudi Arabia may positively or negatively impact teaching English as a foreign language, as per the findings of this study.

A high level of creativity is required to adapt to the changing world of innovation. University‐level students are privileged as they get multiple opportunities to learn creative skills. They are facilitated with autonomy and a creative environment. This study aimed to investigate the Psychometric Properties of the classroom creativity climate scale (CCCS) through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in the Pakistani context. The study involved 711 (males = 359, females = 352) Pakistani university students pursuing BS, MS/MPhil, and PhD degrees. Based on CFA, the proposed structure of the scale was confirmed, consisting of 22 items with a Likert‐type response set loaded on four variables: Teacher Support for the Expression of Student Ideas, Student Self‐perception about Creativity, Student Interest in Learning, and Student Autonomy. Alpha reliability coefficients range from .61 to .82 for the full scale. A comparison of demographics among different age groups and degree levels has been conducted. This scale is useful when investigating Pakistanis University students' perception of creativity, diagnosing the creative climate in the classroom, or asking the teachers for a creative environment inside the classrooms.
