their peers.

 Ask students to reflect on their own performance and identify areas for
improvement.

 Facilitate a brief class discussion on common challenges and strategies for

overcoming them.

6. Full Practice Simulation (20 minutes):

  Conduct a full simulation of the CAE speaking exam.

 Pair students and assign roles (interviewer and candidate) for Part 1.
