    UNIVERSITY OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCE

    FACULTY OF ENGLISH
    SPEAKING TEST FOR GEP 4 (Units 16 – 20)

    SPEAKING TEST GUIDELINES


    Please announce the information below and suggested conversation topics to the students in
    your class once you receive them so that they can make proper preparation. Some in-class
    practice is recommended prior to the speaking test.

    BEFORE THE TEST


    Each student chooses a partner in their class to prepare a conversation of about 1.5 - 2 minutes.
    The preparation is made at home before the test date. If there is an odd number of students, teachers
    may provide support by assigning someone in the class to help the remaining student. The
    supporting student may be awarded with bonus marks. See the suggested conversation topics on
    the next page.

    DURING THE TEST


    PART ONE: Conversations (1.5 - 2 minutes; 60% marks)
    - Invite the students to sit down.
    - Ask the students to introduce themselves and then sign the exam marking sheet.
    - Ask the students to start their conversation.
    PART TWO: Discussion (40% marks)
    Ask each student 2-3 questions to clarify a few points they mentioned in the conversation or to
    help them expand on the topic/their answers.
    Notes:
    - After the students have finished, write their grades next to their signatures and tell them what
    grade they have achieved.
    - If time allows, you might also briefly explain where they did well and where they were weak and
    why you awarded the given grades.
    For the final speaking test, students are expected to work with their partner towards making a
    complete conversation of about 1.5 - 2 minutes using the language functions they have learned in
    Units 16-20. Students can simulate one of the suggested situations below or make up their own
    situations and prepare a conversation in advance.
