Let Us Speak

The Book of Speaking Tests is meant to be useful and practical material for schoolteachers, created in
order to help them test students and improve their level.

Preface

The Book of Speaking Tests is a set of 24 speaking tests for students at A2 level. They were created
for teachers who want to rank their students into the appropriate speaking level. It came out
from the lack of standardized speaking tests identified by groups of teachers from four different
countries (the Czech Republic, Romania, Turkey, and Bulgaria), working on an Erasmus+ project,
Let Us Speak, aiming to develop and improve students speaking level and verbal interaction and
lower their fear of speaking.

The authors wish to have and offer unified tests for Primary Schools in accordance with the CEFR
for Languages. The Book of Speaking Tests comes out together with the Speaking Assessment
Guide, a handbook providing guidance for teachers to assessing students at A2 level with detailed
instructions provided.

General description

In the speaking test for A2 level students take part in pairs, or, if there is an uneven number of
students, in threes. There are two teachers who play the roles of an interlocutor and an assessor. The
interlocutor speaks to the students, sets the tasks, and conducts the test, while the assessor does
not play an active role during the test. The assessor sits aside at a distance from which a clear view of
the students being examined will be ensured. The examiners must be familiar with both roles as they
change their roles after five pairs have been examined.

The maximum time allocated to pairs of students is 11-13 minutes.


Timing

The students are examined in pairs by two examiners, one of whom is


an interlocutor and the other is an assessor. The interlocutor conducts
Interaction
the speaking test, and naturally all the test parts. On the other hand,
the assessor does not interact with the students.

Part 1 - Interview: giving personal information answering general


questions on familiar topics
Part 2 - Interactive activity: prompt card activity collaborative tasks
involving asking and answering questions using prompt cards
Task Types
Part 3 - Picture description: individual speech describing a picture as
an individual monologue
Part 4 - Real situation: structured dialogue talking with the
interlocutor in a structured dialogue about a real situation

The students will be given marks for their pronunciation, range of


vocabulary, grammar, and interaction with the other student and
Marks
interlocutor during the speaking test. Points between 0 and 100 can be
awarded.

Icons used

We use the following icons for better orientation in the test. Their meanings are explained below.

The interlocutor is talking.

Instructions and important notes the interlocutor must be aware of.


They usually give the interlocutor some advice to:
ask students something
hand over something
elicit something, etc.

Interaction either between the students themselves or the interlocutor


and the student.

The Book of Speaking Tests is a set of 24 speaking tests for students at A2 level. They were created for
teachers who want to rank their students into the appropriate speaking level. It came out from the lack
of standardized speaking tests identified by groups of teachers from four different countries (the Czech
Republic, Romania, Turkey, and Bulgaria), working on an Erasmus+ project, Let Us Speak, aiming to
develop and improve students speaking level and verbal interaction and lower their fear of speaking.

The authors wish to have and offer unified tests for Primary Schools in accordance with the CEFR for
Languages. The Book of Speaking Tests comes out together with the Speaking Assessment Guide, a
handbook providing guidance for teachers to assessing students at A2 level with detailed instructions
provided.
