Abstract
This chapter reviews the literature pertaining to the present study. As the whole research can be chronologically broken down into three main phases, covering (1) building an argument for embedding nonverbal delivery into speaking assessment, (2) the formulation and (3) the validation of the rating scale for group discussion in formative assessment, this chapter is accordingly organised into five sections, with the first section reviewing nonverbal delivery relating to the first phase, and the other four sections consecutively addressing the related literature concerning rating scale development and validation.
