The speaking assessment task

We have decided to integrate listening with speaking. There

are going to be three tasks- One on social life, one on campus
life, one on university lectures. Candidates are asked to first
listen to a minute-long recording. After that, candidates will
have 15 seconds to prepare and 30 seconds to talk to the
computer. They are allowed to take notes when listening. The
social life and campus life tasks are dialogues between two
speakers and the lecture is a monologue. Utterances will be
rated according to fluency and coherence, grammar, lexical
resources and pronunciation.
