This research uses a qualitative approach. The instrument used to determine argumentative speaking ability is the observation sheet. Observations were carried out by three lecturers namely researchers and two other lecturers. The situation chosen is an oral assessment situation because it is more formal and natural. Data analysis was done by evaluative descriptive techniques and mixing analysis. The results of the study showed that in general the argumentative speaking abilities of college students on oral assessment were quite good with a value of 6.05. This value is obtained from the average value of the ability to make opinions 6.52, the value of the ability to compile evidence 5.76, the value of reasoning ability 6.15, and the value of convincing abilities 5.78. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that the learning program should better emphasize argumentative communicative aspects with improvements in all aspects of argumentative speaking.
