One of the examinerstakes on the role of interloctor/rst examiner. The rst examiner gives the instrctions, asks qestions ifnecessary and marks the candidates’ performance.

Introductory talk (less than a minte)The rst examiner/interloctor welcomes thecandidates and briey explains the test.

Part A: About Yourself

Task Sheet 1 with the key words is placed onthe table or pt p on the wall or a board so that

everyone can see the key words.

The interloctor introdces Part A by giving anexample, and then asking candidate A to start.

After candidate A has briey introdced herself/himself the interloctor asks the same candidate tospell something (e.g. name, city, street etc.). Afterthat the interloctor asks for a nmber (e.g. phonenmber, mobile nmber, room nmber etc.).

Now we come to Part B.Your task is to ask for information and giveinformation. We will talk about a few things to dowith a certain topic.Our first topic is ...(e. g. “in the classroom”)I’ll do an example first: I have got this task card “teacher”. So I can ask: “What is your teacher called?” / “What is thename of your teacher?” The answer for example could be: “Anna”.

Would you like to start, please?

The second topic is “Holidays”.

OK, thank you so much. That is enough forPart B.

Finally we will do Part C.Here you have to ask for something and replywhen you are asked. You can also suggestsomething or offer something. Each time youhave to reply when someone talks to you.

I will do an example first: I have got this Task Card here.In this case I can say: “Can I have an apple, please?” You should give a

reply like: “Of course, here you are.” I could alsomake a suggestion and say: “Let’s have somefruit!” You could reply: “That’s a good idea. I’mhungry.”


Part B: Asking for and giving information

The interloctor introdces Part B by explaining thetask and the topic.

The interloctor then pts all Task Cards facedown on the table. He asks every candidate to takeone Task Card each withot trning it over. Thenthe interloctor herself/himself takes one of theremaining Task Cards of Topic 1 and demonstratesthe task. In most cases candidates will react to theexaminer’s implse, ths showing that they havenderstood the task. Shold none of the candidatesreact at all, the examiner will give the reqired

response.

The interloctor asks Candidate A to begin. Thecandidate asks a qestion with the help of her orhis chosen Task Card. The next candidate answersthe qestion. Ths each candidate asks oneqestion and gives one answer.

Having completed the rst rond with Topic 1the interloctor introdces Topic 2. This time noexample is given. 6 Task Cards are pt on the table

face down and the procedre is repeated as forTopic 1.

Please note: If any of the candidates cannotformlate a qestion the interloctor takes over.Shold one of the candidates ask a qestionotside the given topic, the interloctor sholdintervene and remind the candidate of the topic.

After each candidate has asked two qestions andhas given two answers the interloctor ends Part Band goes on to Part C of the test.

Part C: Making requests, suggestions, offersand replying to them

The interloctor introdces Part C and explains thetask.

The interloctor then pts all Task Cards face downon the table. He asks every candidate to take 2Task Cards each withot trning them over. Thenthe interloctor herself/himself takes one of the

remaining Task Cards and demonstrates the task.

Each candidate formlates a reqest, a sggestionor an offer with the help of the Task Cardschosen and directs his implse towards thecandidate sitting next to her or him (CandidateA to Candidate B etc.). When approached thecandidate replies and then formlates a reqest, asggestion or an offer herself or himself. Once allcandidates have made a reqest, a sggestion oran offer, the procedre is repeated.
