The relevance of EPBI model and field data (P-value = 0, 72541 > 0,05; RMSEA = 0,000 < 0,05; GFI = 1,70 > 0,9; AGFI = 1,43 > 0,9; PGFI = 1,37 > 0,9) reveals that the quality of speaking testing model is fit is worth considering as an assessing instrument of junior secondary school speaking instruction as supported by theoretical concepts, expert judgment, and field tryout results., and judgment by experts, users, and practitioners shows that MPPBS model is reliable as a referred implementation model.
