2nd. TERM SPEAKING EXAM PROJECT

SPECIFICATIONS PERIODO 2021 –
2022 CII

Directions: You will be given a set of 5 possible topics for the 2nd. TERM SPEAKING EXAM
PROJECT. You have to choose only ONE of the topics and record a video of about a
minimum of 1:30 minutes with a maximum of 3 minutes. The task is individual. You can edit
your video adding pictures or you can record the actions as you prefer. Make video about the
topic that you choose based on the content covered during classes (that includes vocabulary
and grammar based on units 4, 5 and 6).
The most important is that your voice can be heard all the time or most of the time. Be
careful when recording the video and DO IT SAFELY, that means to be careful with
surroundings in order to avoid accidents or robberies. You just need to send the link of
your video in the task that the teacher creates for you to provide the link of your video. If
you are reading in your video, you will lose points.

When submitting the link to your video, please add the topic you chose and a working link that
must be stored in your institutional One Drive). CHECK THE LINK WORKS since there WON'T be an
opportunity to resend it. The only OFFICIAL and ACCEPTED method of receiving the exam is
through
the resource created for that purpose on MOODLE. NO WHATSAPP MESSAGES, EMAILS, OR
MOODLE
MESSAGES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Note: You must appear all the time in your speaking exam project video.

NOTE: You MUST send me the link of your video by using the one drive of your
institutional university email, but it doesn't work, you are free to send the link in any
other platform that you desire, or you can use you tube. Please, do not send me the
link of your video on google drive due to my google drive storage is full, so I did not
have space to receive information on google drive. If you send me the link of your
video, but it is not available to see it, I will not check it due to you do not give me the
permission to see it, so you will have zero. Please, be sure to check that your link is
available, before you are sending your task.
