The Speaking paper, which lasts for approximately 19 minutes, consists of 3 parts. The typical arrangement is of two students and two examiners, one acting as interlocutor and assessor, the other as assessor.
Part 1: Conversation between the interlocutor and the candidates
Part 1 consists of the interlocutor asking the candidates to introduce themselves by giving information about themselves and offering opinions. This 'ice-breaker' will last approximately 3
minutes.
Part 2 Conversation between the two candidates
Part 2 consists of a two-way conversation between the two candidates who will be required to use visual and verbal prompts to carry out a task. This task will require the candidates to evaluate, compare, give opinions or speculate about a particular subject and will last approximately 4 minutes.
Part 3 Long turn plus discussion
Part 3 consists of a long turn by Candidate A during which he or she responds to written questions on a prompt card (2 minutes). Candidate B is asked to respond with their own views on the topic in question (1 minute) and then both candidates respond (1 minute). The process is then repeated with Candidtae A taking a long turn and Candidate B responding.
