This study created a questionnaire for students and teachers, and explored the elements needed to improve the upper intermediate level from research result and rubric evaluation. As a result, teachers emphasize the adequacy of correctness of grammar and expression, whereas students emphasize the content such as report configuration and their opinions. The rubric evaluations also showed similar trends. From this result, the authors found it was important to explicitly present that needed elements to improve intermediate level to upper intermediate level by rubric evaluations. The authors also found rubric evaluations were effective in raising awareness of the student's level improvement.
