FCE Speaking section.



This is a video where you can see the way we practice the speaking section of the FCE. In the school, we use a text that let us practice each section of it. In this particular case, the video was taken to show how they work in pairs playing the role of examiner and the student applying to the test. It is very interesting how they get involved in the task given, and become very fluent when they are talking. One of the most important items aspects considered in this test is the fluency, coherence and manage cohesion of the language they have to show while talking with a native speaker.

We can see how Renato is trying to convince Gonzalo about his point of view,
I think this is a good reaction that a student applying for these sorts of
tests should have. You can also find Cecilia explaining to Andrea what she
believes about the two professions shown in the pictures of the book. Ivette
is really taking the conversation seriously because she starts reflecting
about the job and the functions they have in society. Alessandra and
Stephanie show themselves very are so involved in the into the
conversation, and that attitude is the one needed for those examinations.
Haroun is also very convinced of what he is saying, and that is very
positive to show his competence in English. Finally, you see how they change
roles.
