🏆IMPROVE YOUR SPEAKING SKILLS

📌Here's a lovely idea that you can apply using this 4-minute video tutorial: https://youtu.be/CBV_VTvWnEo on IELTS SPEAKING PART 1:

🎯Before watching, the students exchanged ideas about what they already knew regarding the IELTS Speaking test 🎯While watching, they took down notes about what to expect and the strategy. 🎯Afterwards, we had a whole-class discussion based on their observations. 🎯Then, we watched the video again, this time with a focus on useful vocabulary. 🎯Finally, the students practised in pairs. If you haven't got a speaking partner, no worries, record your answer, play it back and try improving it progressively.

💡Worked fantastically well, definitely worth a try!

🥇IMPROVE YOUR SPEAKING SKILLS

📌Whether you are a teacher looking for materials, an IELTS candidate, or a learner of English trying to develop your fluency, here's an effective idea that you can apply using this 6-minute video tutorial: https://youtu.be/8FmRUhtLAgo on IELTS SPEAKING PART 3:

🎯BEFORE WATCHING THE VIDEO: try answering this question, by giving as many details in support of your opinion as possible: Is it acceptable for coworkers to spend time together outside of work? Record your answer (you might use your phone for this). 🎯WHILE WATCHING, take down notes about what to expect and the tips & tricks for delivering an extensive spoken discourse. 🎯AFTER WATCHING THE VIDEO, try to remember and jot down useful vocabulary, linkers, idioms & expressions. 🎯 WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN and check if you got the vocabulary right and whether there are other phrases you'd like to write down. 🎯FINALLY, keep in mind the tips and strategies you have been shown, as well as the vocabulary you wrote down, and make another attempt at answering the question. Record your answer and compare it with the first attempt. Not yet fully satisfied? Try it again. As many times as it takes. Practice makes perfect!

💡How did your practice go? Did you notice any improvement from one answer to another?

📌CAMBRIDGE ENGLISH: ADVANCED (CAE) Speaking Part 4

🎯To understand what is required and to get some tips on how to do well, I asked my students to watch the video and fill in the gaps in each step of the presented strategy: 🔎Introduce the answer & ___________ 🔎Answer & __________________ 🔎____________ your contribution 🔎________________ & __________ your partner 🔎Agree & ______________ 🔎Disagree & ______________

💡I also encouraged them to jot down any useful language they could pick up, in order to make it easier for them to introduce & link their ideas. Hope it helps. Let me know if you have questions.

📌In both speaking prep and assessment for CAE, I've noticed that candidates have a hard time conducting a successful conversation debating the ideas and then working towards a conclusion in Part 3.

🎯To help my students with both the strategy and the language, I played them the video and asked them to extract info from it on two columns:

COMMUNICATIVE AIM          I      USEFUL LANGUAGE (e.g. Initiate conversation)    I      (e.g. May I begin?)

🎯Then, they talked about the notes they took, filled in more ideas and practiced in pairs/ groups of three, following on from the strategy and language they'd observed. 💡I recommend this to any candidate before sitting the exam. Let me know if you have questions.
