ASSESSMENT OF YOUR ORAL EXAM

As you do the test, I’ll focus on these areas of your English:

Accuracy
Are you using a wide range of grammatical structures? Are you using these
structures correctly?

Pronunciation
You don’t need to have a perfect English accent, but you need to be clear at
all times. Pay special attention to the sounds learned/ practiced in class.

Range
Are you using a wide range of vocabulary? Is the vocabulary appropriate for
the subject you’re talking about? Are you using this vocabulary correctly?

Organization
Are you able to speak fluently? Is what you’re saying relevant to the subject
of the discussion? Is what you’re saying clear and well organised? Are you
connecting your ideas and organising what you are saying?

Task completion
Did you try to reach an agreement? Did you justify your options and tried to
counter-argue the ones you listened to?
