SAMPLES OF SPEAKING TESTS AT INTERMEDIATE LEVEL



HERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE WITH TEACHER'S NOTES

Overall assessment

This is a reasonably strong performance as he keeps going well and answers the question. He should score well for fluency and coherence and task achievement.

Points to note – positive

The topic is in the past tense and he generally remembers to use the past tense in his talk.
He correctly identifies and answers the question in the first 20 seconds or so
When he can he corrects himself quickly.
“People thinks, people think”
He has a reasonable range of spoken expressions:
“treat people well”
“inspire confidence”
He pauses quite a lot but he maintains the flow and fluency of his talk
He has an accent but his pronunciation doesn’t cause communication problems

Points to note – negative

He has consistent problems with grammar and with plurals and subject/verb agreement in particular, eg
person/people
She still give me
He repeats the word “advice” too much and doesn’t use enough variations such as “should” “ought to”
He uses the connector “so” too often and incorrectly
