Now that we learned what it is that FCE speaking is all about. But how do we know whether we handle the test well or not? What sort of things that the examiners are going to base on to assess our speaking for FCE?
Well, here they are:
- Grammar and Vocabulary: the examiner will listen to how accurate your grammar is and will check that you have enough vocabulary to explain clearly what you want to say.
- Discourse management: The examiner wants to see that you can develop your ideas. You need to show that you can give more than just the very short answers. You have a good opportunities to develop your ideas in part 2 of the test.
- Pronunciation: the examiner will listen to how clear your pronunciation is. This doesn't mean that you need to sound like a native speaker's accent, but it means that the examiner shouldn't have to work hard to understand what you are trying to say.
- Interactive communication: the examiner wants you to show that you are able to begin a conversation and also that you are able to listen to what your partner says and respond in an appropriate way. The examiner also wants to check that you don't hesitate too much, and that you are able to take turns with your partner, speaking when it's your turn and also allow your partner to speak.
Now that you know how the examiners access your speaking for FCE. It's time to keep that in mind and practice to improve!
