Πρόκειται για ένα ουσιαστικό εργαλείο που πρέπει να χρησιμοποιηθεί σωστά προκειμένου οι Υποψήφιοι να
αποκομίσουν όλα τα γλωσσικά οφέλη από τη χρήση του και να είναι έτοιμοι να ανταπεξέλθουν με απόλυτη
επιτυχία στις Προφορικές τους Εξετάσεις.
Α. Τι περιέχει το Syllabus για τις Προφορικές Εξετάσεις
Β1-Β2
• Υπάρχουν 8 θέματα για τις Εξετάσεις του Ιανουαρίου 2022 και
10 θέματα για τις Εξετάσεις του Ιουνίου 2022.
• Σε κάθε Επίπεδο υπάρχουν 3 κοινά θέματα που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν και στις δύο
Εξεταστικές Περιόδους.
• Τα κοινά θέματα για το Β1 είναι τα: 1,2,3
• Τα κοινά θέματα για το Β2 είναι τα: 1,2,3
C1-C2
• Υπάρχουν 10 θέματα για τις Εξετάσεις του Ιανουαρίου 2022 και
15 θέματα για τις Εξετάσεις του Ιουνίου 2022.
• Σε κάθε Επίπεδο υπάρχουν 5 κοινά θέματα που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν και στις δύο
Εξεταστικές Περιόδους.
• Τα κοινά θέματα για το C1 είναι τα: 1,2,3,4,5
• Τα κοινά θέματα για το C2 είναι τα: 1,2,3,4,5
Β. Γενικές Οδηγίες για το Syllabus για όλα τα Επίπεδα
• Τα κοινά θέματα είναι σε bold και επαναλαμβάνονται στο τέλος του Syllabus κάθε Επιπέδου.
• Κάθε θέμα ακολουθείται από 4 Ερωτήσεις. Η πρώτη Ερώτηση αφορά το Section 2 και οι άλλες
τρεις Ερωτήσεις αφορούν το Section 3 της Προφορικής Εξέτασης.
Γ. Τα Prepared Topics και Πώς να τα Χρησιμοποιήσετε
• Δύο εβδομάδες πριν τις Εξετάσεις αποστέλλονται τα Prepared Topics για κάθε Επίπεδο.
• Υπάρχουν 5 Prepared Topics για το Section 2 της Προφορικής Εξέτασης κάθε Επιπέδου (B1-B2-
C1-C2) σε κάθε Εξεταστική Περίοδο (Ιανουαρίου και Ιουνίου 2022).
• Οι Υποψήφιοι πρέπει να επιλέξουν και να προετοιμάσουν μόνο ΕΝΑ από τα πέντε θέματα του
Επιπέδου τους. Χρειάζεται προσοχή να μην επιλέξουν κατά λάθος θέμα από άλλο Επίπεδο.
• Παρόλο που και οι δύο Υποψήφιοι μπορούν να επιλέξουν το ίδιο θέμα, καλό θα ήταν να διαλέξουν
διαφορετικό θέμα, έτσι ώστε να μην χρειαστεί να επαναλάβουν τις ίδιες ιδέες όταν θα
ανταλλάσσουν απόψεις.

Δ. Γενικές Οδηγίες για τις Προφορικές Εξετάσεις
• Οι Υποψήφιοι εξετάζονται στις Προφορικές Εξετάσεις σε ζευγάρια. Τα ζευγάρια μπορούν

να καθοριστούν εκ των προτέρων.
• Ο Φορέας δεν επιτρέπει τη συμμετοχή ενός Υποψηφίου στις Προφορικές Εξετάσεις και 2η
φορά ως “Dummy”, για τη δημιουργία ζευγαριού με Υποψήφιο που δεν έχει εξεταστεί,
παρά μόνο στην περίπτωση που δεν υπάρχει κανένας άλλος Υποψήφιος για να γίνει ένα
ζευγάρι.
• Οι Υποψήφιοι δεν επιτρέπεται να έχουν μαζί τους σημειώσεις ή κάποιο άλλο βοήθημα
κατά τη διάρκεια της Εξέτασης. Δεν απαιτείται να ετοιμάσουν κάποιο project σχετικά με το
θέμα τους και ούτε επιτρέπεται να το έχουν μαζί τους κατά τη διάρκεια της Προφορικής
Εξέτασης, σε περίπτωση που το έχουν ετοιμάσει.
• Δεν επιτρέπεται να κρατούν σημειώσεις την ώρα που ο άλλος Υποψήφιος παρουσιάζει το
θέμα του.
• O Εξεταστής δίνει σε κάθε Υποψήφιο ένα φύλλο με τίτλο “Candidate’s Prompts” το οποίο
περιλαμβάνει:
A. Τα 5 Prepared Topics για το Section 2, από τα οποία ο Υποψήφιος θα επιλέξει αυτό που
έχει προετοιμάσει.
B. Prompts για το Section 3 μαζί με ιδέες για κάθε Prompt.
• Παρόλο που οι Υποψήφιοι μπορούν να χρησιμοποιήσουν τις δικές τους ιδέες για να
αναπτύξουν την απάντησή τους, συνιστάται να χρησιμοποιήσουν αυτές που υπάρχουν στο
Candidate’s Prompts, προκειμένου να περιοριστεί το άγχος τους και να εξασφαλίσουν το
καλύτερο δυνατό αποτέλεσμα.
Ε. Η Διαδικασία των Προφορικών Εξετάσεων

Speaking Exam.
ΣΤ. Πώς να Προετοιμάσετε τους Υποψηφίους
Θα ήταν καλό να προετοιμάσετε από την αρχή της σχολικής χρονιάς όλα τα θέματα της
Εξεταστικής Περιόδου στην οποία θα συμμετάσχουν οι Υποψήφιοι ώστε να έχουν την ευκαιρία να
εξασκηθούν εγκαίρως σε όλα τα θέματα και να μάθουν το κατάλληλο λεξιλόγιο. Έτσι, όταν θα
λάβετε τα 5 θέματα για το Section 2, δύο εβδομάδες πριν τις Εξετάσεις, οι Υποψήφιοι θα έχουν
ήδη κάνει επαρκή προετοιμασία και θα μπορούν να επικεντρωθούν σε αυτά με μεγαλύτερη
αυτοπεποίθηση.
Μπορείτε να αφιερώνετε χρόνο για την προετοιμασία για τις Προφορικές Εξετάσεις 1 φορά
την εβδομάδα. Η βαθμολογία του Υποψηφίου στα Προφορικά είναι καθοριστική για την
επιτυχία του στις Εξετάσεις και η σωστή προετοιμασία του στα Προφορικά είναι σημαντικός
παράγοντας και προϋπόθεση για την καλή βαθμολογία του.
Section 1
➢ Αν οι Υποψήφιοι είναι καλά προετοιμασμένοι για το Warm Up Stage θα κάνουν μια πολύ
θετική πρώτη εντύπωση στον Εξεταστή και θα νιώσουν μεγαλύτερη αυτοπεποίθηση για να
συνεχίσουν.
➢ Τα θέματα του Warm Up Stage είναι γνωστά. Οι Καθηγητές μπορούν να επιλέξουν μία
ποικιλία ερωτήσεων για τους Υποψηφίους από τα Indicative Questions, να τις αναθέσουν
σαν δουλειά για το σπίτι και στη συνέχεια να κάνουν εξάσκηση στην τάξη.
➢ Οι Υποψήφιοι πρέπει να εκπαιδεύονται να απαντούν με ολοκληρωμένες προτάσεις και να
αποφεύγουν τις μονολεκτικές ή πολύ σύντομες απαντήσεις. Επίσης, πρέπει να εξασκηθούν
στο να αιτιολογούν αυτά που λένε.
➢ Περισσότερες πληροφορίες και υλικό θα βρείτε στο Teacher’s Handbook: Preparing
Candidates for the LRN Speaking Exam.
Section 2 & Section 3
➢ Χωρίστε τους Υποψηφίους σε δύο ομάδες και αναθέστε διαφορετικό θέμα σε κάθε ομάδα.
➢ Δώστε λεξιλόγιο σχετικό με το θέμα που έχουν αναλάβει να προετοιμάσουν.
➢ Κάθε Υποψήφιος προετοιμάζει το θέμα του και τις 4 ερωτήσεις στο σπίτι.
➢ Στο επόμενο μάθημα, μπορείτε να κάνετε ζευγάρια τους Υποψηφίους που έχουν
διαφορετικά θέματα μεταξύ τους και να ακολουθήσετε τη διαδικασία των Προφορικών
Εξετάσεων του LRN.
➢ Στο τέλος, μπορείτε να παρέχετε την ανατροφοδότηση και τα σχόλια σας στους
Υποψηφίους, επισημαίνοντας τα δυνατά τους σημεία αλλά και τις αδυναμίες τους.
➢ Όταν ολοκληρωθεί αυτή η διαδικασία, δώστε ένα διαφορετικό θέμα σε κάθε ομάδα, για την
επόμενη φορά, ώστε να εξασκηθούν σε όλα τα θέματα όλοι οι Υποψήφιοι.

➢ Όταν οι Υποψήφιοι έχουν πλέον εξοικειωθεί πλήρως με τη διαδικασία των Προφορικών

Εξετάσεων μπορείτε να τους ηχογραφήσετε σε ζευγάρια ώστε να έχουν την ευκαιρία να
ακούσουν και οι ίδιοι τον εαυτό τους.
➢ Αυτή η διαδικασία είναι πολύ καλή για την τελική προετοιμασία του ενός από τα 5 θέματα
που έχουν επιλέξει. Αφού το προετοιμάσουν με τη βοήθειά σας, μπορούν να το γράψουν
σαν έκθεση. Κατόπιν, κάθε Υποψήφιος μπορεί να το ηχογραφήσει για να το ακούει ώστε να
το αφομοιώσει καλύτερα.
➢ Η προετοιμασία των θεμάτων του Syllabus των Προφορικών Εξετάσεων βοηθάει και στην
εξάσκηση για το Writing.
➢ Είναι σημαντικό οι Υποψήφιοι να προετοιμάζονται και για τα άλλα 4 Prepared Topics, ώστε
να είναι σε θέση να εκφράσουν τη γνώμη τους σε όσα θα πει ο άλλος Υποψήφιος στο
Section 2 και στο Section 3.
➢ Περισσότερες πληροφορίες και υλικό θα βρείτε στο Teacher’s Handbook: Preparing
Candidates for the LRN Speaking Exam.

How to use the Syllabus for the LRN Speaking Exams 2022:
B1 - B2
• There are 8 topics for the January 2022 Exams and 10 for the June 2022 Exams.
3 topics of the Syllabus are common and may be used in either Exam Period.
The common topics for B1 are 1, 2, 3.
The common topics for B2 are 1, 2, 3.
C1 - C2
• There are 10 topics for the January 2022 Exams and 15 for the June 2022 Exams.
5 topics of the Syllabus are common and may be used in either Exam Period.
The common topics for C1 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
The common topics for C2 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
All Levels
• The common topics for all levels are in bold.
They are also repeated at the end of each Syllabus.
• Each general topic is followed by 4 questions. The first question covers Section 2 of the Speaking
Exam and the other three questions relate to Section 3 of the Exam.
• It would be advisable that all topics for the specific Exam period be covered before the Exams so
that students will be able to practise and use the appropriate language for each topic. When LRN
sends the 5 topics for Section 2 of the Exam two weeks before the Exams, they will have already
prepared all topics and they will feel much more confident focusing on one of them.
• Both teachers and students can watch the Sample Video Interviews on the Esolnet Hellas YouTube
Channel.
• A recommended way to use the Syllabus would be to put aside speaking time every week. Teachers
can divide their students into two groups; each group is assigned a different topic (4 questions);
the teacher may give each group the vocabulary they need.
Each student prepares their topic (4 questions) at home and during the next lesson, the teacher can
make pairs of one student from each group; the teacher can follow the LRN Interview procedure,
allowing the students to practise the LRN Speaking Exam.
• The teacher can give all the students feedback, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses.
