telc language tests are the right choice for you
if you would like to have a recognized appraisal of your language proficiency, or
if you are an instructor who would like to prepare your students for a new challenge.
What is telc?
telc GmbH is a non-profit subsidiary of the German Adult Education Association (Deutscher
Volkshochschul-Verband e.V.). It is part of a long tradition of formal and organizational promotion of
multilingualism in Europe. Our specific contribution began in 1968 with the VHS Certificate in English
(Volkshochschul-Zertifikat Englisch), the first standardised foreign language test in the history of the
Federal Republic of Germany. Since then telc GmbH has greatly influenced standardized language test
development in Europe. Today telc offers approximately 70 general and work-oriented language tests, in
nine languages, all based on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages
(CEFR). Our examinations can be taken worldwide in more than 20 countries through our telc partners.
You can find the examination centre nearest you on our website www.telc.net.
What is the value of a telc Certificate?

The value of a language certificate is determined by the high standards that are applied during the
development, implementation and evaluation of the language test. All telc examinations are based
on the action-orientated approach central to the CEFR and are designed to test the skills of reading,
listening, writing and speaking. These examinations are standardised and are developed according to
stringent scientifically recognised methods of test development. telc GmbH is a full member of ALTE
(Association of Language Testers in Europe, www.alte.org), an organization of internationally recognised
test providers. Many public and private educational institutions in Germany and throughout the world
utilize telc Certificates as a method of qualification. Additionally, many employers use them when
choosing personnel. Every telc Certificate includes a detailed and comprehensive description of the
foreign language competences achieved.
Why is it necessary to have mock examinations?

An essential characteristic of standardised language tests is that the participants know what is expected
of them during the test. The mock examination informs the test taker about the aims and tasks, times
and assessment criteria of the test, as well as the procedures involved in the exam implementation. telc
Mock Examinations are available as a free download at www.telc.net where you can also find additional
practice materials and other useful information.

tion of a hotel or a menu in your own language or the language of the country you work in. You must not
read out what you have prepared. One examiner will ask you some questions, possibly taking on the role
of a guest at the hotel or restaurant.

In this part of the examination you will be given a task to carry out. This may be a problem which has to be
solved or an exchange of information. You may be asked to simulate a telephone conversation. You will be

21
Examiner sheet for use with candidates working in hotels 13

One examiner should play the part of a guest arriving at the hotel. The conversation should start in
the usual way with the guest entering the hotel and being greeted or greeting the receptionist. The
examiner should allow the candidate to structure the exchange as he/she wishes and should respond
appropriately. The examiner should introduce one or two elements the candidate may not have
anticipated, such as:
request for special food for breakfast
Speaking
request for breakfast particularly early
request for equipment or facilities (fax, internet connection)
shoe-cleaning or laundry facilities
These are only given as examples. The examiner should improvise as and when necessary.
If the candidate has difficulty structuring the exchange, the examiner may help or ask questions, but
should remember to keep to the role of guest in the hotel.

Depending on how the candidate has prepared this part of the examination, the examiner will play the
role of either a listener or a guest at the hotel. The examiner should allow the candidate to structure the
exchange as he/she wishes and should respond and ask questions accordingly. The questions may also
be about aspects not mentioned in the material the candidate has brought or mentioned by the candidate
in the description. The candidate should be able to explain that he/she cannot answer a particular
question if this is the case. The examiner should introduce one or two elements the candidate may not
have anticipated, such as:
location of hotel
shops
sports facilities
If the candidate has difficulty structuring the exchange, the examiner may help or ask questions, but this
help should be borne in mind when marking.

You telephone a hotel to book a room. You want a single room with shower for three nights. You will be
arriving late in the evening and want to make sure that your room will still be available. On the day of your
departure, you want to be woken very early as you have to catch an early train. The bill should be sent
to your company who will settle it after your stay. Answer the hotel receptionists questions and ask any
questions necessary to get the information you need to book the room. You may use your own personal
details or make up any details you need for the task. Begin and end the telephone conversation in the
usual way. It is the candidates task to keep the conversation going and to bring it to a close.

At a hotel, you want to complain about your room. You had asked for a non-smoking room and have
found that your room smells of smoke. As well as this it is not possible to open the window. Say what
you want the hotel to do. Answer the hotel receptionists questions and ask any questions you want.
You may use your own personal details or make up any details you need for the task. Begin and end
the conversation in the usual way for a complaint of this nature. It is the candidates task to keep the
conversation going and to bring it to a close.

way with the guest entering the restaurant and being greeted or greeting the waiter. The examiner should
allow the candidate to structure the exchange as he/she wishes and should respond accordingly. The
examiner should introduce one or two elements the candidate may not have anticipated, such as:
request for special food
request for quick service
Speaking
request for equipment or facilities (window table, highchair)

If the candidate has difficulty structuring the exchange, the examiner may help or ask questions, but
should remember to keep to the role of guest in the restaurant.

Depending on how the candidate has prepared this part of the examination, the examiner will play the
role of either a listener or a guest at the restaurant. The examiner should allow the candidate to structure
the exchange as he/she wishes and should respond and ask questions accordingly. The questions may
also be about aspects not mentioned in the menu the candidate has brought or by the candidate in the
description of the menu. The candidate should be able to explain that he/she cannot answer a particular
question if this is the case. The examiner should introduce one or two elements the candidate may not
have anticipated, such as:
particular food and drink
appropriate drinks/starters
food for children or senior citizens
If the candidate has difficulty structuring the exchange, the examiner may help or ask questions, but this
help should be borne in mind when marking.

You telephone a restaurant to book a table. You want a table for six people for 8 p.m. tomorrow evening.
You may be a few minutes late and want to make sure that the table will still be available. You want
to spend the whole evening in the restaurant and so want to make sure that the table will be available
for the whole evening. You will settle the bill by credit card. Answer the waiters questions and ask any
questions necessary to get the information you need to book the table. You may use your own personal
details or make up any details you need for the task. Begin and end the telephone conversation in the
usual way. It is the candidates task to keep the conversation going and to bring it to a close.

At a restaurant, you want to complain about your meal. You had asked for a well-done steak and have
found that your steak is hardly cooked at all. As well as this the potatoes are not properly cooked. Say
what you want the restaurant to do. Answer the waiters questions and ask any questions you want.
You may use your own personal details or make up any details you need for the task. Begin and end
the conversation in the usual way for a complaint of this nature. It is the candidates task to keep the
conversation going and to bring it to a close.

Information
To pass the whole examination, you must get at least 60% of the maximum possible total of points
both in the written and in the oral examination. This means a total of 135 points in the written
examination and 45 points in the oral examination.
If you get more than 60% in each part of the examination, then the number of points you get for
the written examination is added to the number of points you get for the oral examination. The
grade is then calculated according to the following table:
270300 Points Very Good

240269.5 Points Good
210239.5 Points Satisfactory
180209.5 Points Pass
If you fail or do not take one of the parts of the examination (written or oral), you can retake that
part during the same calendar year or the following calendar year. You can retake the whole ex-
amination as many times as you want, e.g. in order to get a better grade.

Information
Introduction
This mock examination has been developed as preparation material for the telc English B1 Hotel and
Restaurant examination. It enables learners to check, with the help of their teacher whether they have
reached the necessary level of language competence to pass the examination. All the information that
teachers and learners need is given in this publication. Learners can become fully familiar with the
examination format so that they know exactly what to do in the real examination situation. The mock
examination can be used to simulate a real examination situation.
Examination Procedure
If you wish to simulate a real examination closely you should read the Instructions for the Written and
Oral Examinations (available from telc GmbH). In order to be able to act as examiners for a telc Oral
Examination, teachers must attend an examiner training session and obtain an examiners licence.
Written Examination
In a real examination
candidates must enter their answers in a particular way so that these can be read automatically.
candidates must write their names and personal details in block capitals so that these appear
correctly on their certificates.
under no circumstances is other material allowed apart from the examination booklets
(dictionaries, grammar books, personal notes etc.).
candidates must be informed that all attempts to cheat will lead to their exclusion from the
examination and make the results invalid.
the times for the different parts of the examination must be strictly kept to.
all material (examination documents as well as personal notes) must be handed in after it has
been used.
the CD with the material for Listening Comprehension may not be stopped during the
examination. All pauses are in the recording.
the order of the parts of the examination must be kept to.

Information
Oral Examination
In a real examination
two examiners are necessary. Both examiners mark the candidate during the examination and
compare marks after the candidate has left the room.
candidates names and marks must be recorded clearly on the score sheets.
candidates are not allowed to communicate with each other during the preparation time. This
will be regarded as cheating and will lead to their exclusion from the examination and make the
results invalid.
no other material may be used to answer the questions than that on the task sheets
(dictionaries, grammar books, personal notes etc.).
the times for the different parts of the oral examination and the total time must be kept to.
candidates must hand in all material (task sheets as well as personal notes) after each
examination.
examiners may not give candidates information about their performance or their marks.
the order of the parts of the examination must be kept to.
During the examination
examiners should not confer with each other or intervene in the examination unless this is really
necessary.
all three parts of the oral examination are designed as communicative tasks.
candidates should try to solve problems of communication or language themselves.
examiners should only help if and when really necessary.
examiners should keep to the time schedule and move from one part to the other smoothly.
After the examination examiners compare marks and transfer these to the answer sheet in the
appropriate way.

Marking, Points and Grades
For the sub-tests Reading Comprehension, Language Elements and Listening Comprehension compare
the learners answers with the answer key (page 41). Give points as follows:
Reading Comprehension, Part 1 Items 15 5 points each

Reading Comprehension, Part 2 Items 610 5 points each
Reading Comprehension, Part 3 Items 1120 2.5 points each
Language Elements, Part 1 Items 2130 1.5 points each

For the sub-test Writing, award points according to the marking criteria (pp. 3738).
For the Oral Examination, award points according to the marking criteria (pp. 3940).
Add together the points for the written examination and the oral examination separately. To pass the
whole examination, the candidate must get at least 60% of the maximum total number of points in
both the written and the oral examination. This corresponds to a total of 135 points for the written
examination and 45 points for the oral examination.
If the candidate has more than the minimum number of points in each part of the examination, then the
number of points for the written examination is added to the number of points for the oral examination
to get the final total. The grade is awarded according to the following table:
270300 points Very Good (Grade 1)

240269.5 points Good (Grade 2)
210239.5 points Satisfactory (Grade 3)
180209.5 points Pass (Grade 4)
In the real examination, if a candidate fails or does not take one of the two parts of the examination,
(written or oral) he/she can retake that part of the examination during the calendar year in which the
examination was taken the first time or the following calendar year and have the points added together
to get the final grade. The entire examination can be retaken as many times as the candidate wishes,
e.g. to pass or to get a better grade.
Marking Criteria
Marking Instructions for Writing

A maximum total of 45 points may be awarded for this part.
The letter is marked according to the following three criteria:
Criterion 1: Content (Guiding Points)
Criterion 2: Communicative Design
Criterion 3: Language

34
Information
A maximum of two further additional points may be awarded as follows:

- 1 point for a wider than average range of vocabulary and structures (language).
- 1 point if the letter contains more than minimum information (content).
These additional points may not be given if the letter
has already been awarded the maximum total number of points
has been awarded no more than C (see below) in any one of the three criteria.
The total number of points (all three criteria plus any possible additional points) is finally multiplied by 3.
If the mark given for Criterion 1 and/or Criterion 3 is D, the whole letter must be awarded zero points, i.e.
please write D for all criteria and 0 for additional points.
Please mark A, B, C or D for the criteria (boxes I,II and III, and 0 or 1 (boxes IV.1 and IV.2) for the additional
points at the end of the answer sheet S30, page 6. If you give D for Criterion 1 because what the candidate
has written does not relate to the task set, mark yes under Wrong topic?.
Criterion 1: Content (Guiding Points)

Assessment is made on the basis of the number of guiding points that have been processed.
A 5 All four guiding points have been processed in an appropriate way.
B 3 Three of the guiding points have been processed in an appropriate way.
C 1 Two of the guiding points have been processed in an appropriate way.
D 0 No more than one guiding point has been processed in an appropriate way.
Criterion 2: Communicative Design

Assessment is based on:
1. whether the guiding points have been processed in a logical sequence
2. the links between the sentences and between the guiding points
3. whether the language used is appropriate to a business letter and to the person the letter is
being sent to
4. the formal characteristics of the letter (reference line, date, salutation, closing formula) and
their appropriacy in a business context
The communicative design of the letter is
A 5 appropriate in all respects.
B 3 appropriate in most respects.
C 1 mostly inappropriate.
D 0 completely inappropriate.
Assessment is based on syntax, morphology and spelling.
The letter contains
A 5 no or only occasional errors.
B 3 a number of errors without impairing the readers understanding of the letter.
C 1 errors that considerably impair the readers understanding of the important parts of the letter.
D 0 so many errors that the text is (almost) impossible to understand.

35
Information
Oral Examination
The marking of the oral examination is carried out during the examination by each of the two examiners
individually. After the candidate has left the room, the examiners reach a consensus on the marks to be
awarded.
The candidates performance is assessed according to the following four criteria:
Criterion 1: Expression
Criterion 2: Task Management
Criterion 4: Pronunciation and Intonation
Criterion 1: Expression
The assessment is based on the extent to which the language used (vocabulary and functional exponents)
is appropriate to the task and the role relationship.
Expression is
A appropriate in all respects.
B appropriate in most respects.
C mostly inappropriate.
D completely inappropriate.
Criterion 2: Task Management

The assessment is based on:
1. the degree of active participation in the discourse
2. the use of strategies (discourse strategies and, where necessary, compensation strategies)
3. fluency
Task Management is
A appropriate in all respects.
B appropriate in most respects.
C mostly inappropriate.
D completely inappropriate.
Assessment is made on the process of task management, not on the end-product.
Assessment is based on syntax and morphology.
The candidate makes
A no or only occasional errors.
B a number of errors without impairing communication.
C errors that considerably impair communication.
D so many errors that communication is (almost) impossible.

36
Information
Criterion 4: Pronunciation and Intonation

Assessment is based on pronunciation and intonation.
Divergences from standard pronunciation and intonation
A do not impede comprehension.
B may occasionally impede comprehension and require extra concentration on the part of the listener.
C considerably impede comprehension.
D make comprehension (almost) impossible.
Scoring the Oral Examination
Each of the three parts of the oral examination is assessed separately using the same criteria. The marks
for the three parts are based on a ratio of 1:2:2, corresponding to 15, 30 and 30 points respectively.

A maximum of 15 points may be awarded as follows:
Criterion A B C D
1 Expression 4 3 1 0
2 Task Management 4 3 1 0
3 Language 4 3 1 0
4 Pronunciation & Intonation 3 2 1 0
Part 2: Describing your Work and Part 3: Task

Criterion A B C D
1 Expression 8 6 2 0
2 Task Management 8 6 2 0
3 Language 8 6 2 0
4 Pronunciation & Intonation 6 4 2 0
The overall examination carries a maximum total of 300 points, giving the oral examination a weighting
of 25 per cent.

MOCK EXAMINATION 1
ENGLISH B1 HOTEL & RESTAURANT
The two main characteristic features of telc examinations are test papers
based on language tasks formulated in a clear and understandable
way and standardised marking criteria applied in an objective way. The
comprehensively dened test specications and uniform marking criteria
ensure that these features apply to all examinations and are identical for
all languages covered by telc programme. This equally applies to the test
format. The mock examination presented here enables teachers and learners
to simulate the precise conditions under which the examinations take place,
both from the perspective of organising the test as well as from the point of
view of the test materials. In this way, it is possible to fully prepare candidates
for the examination. The mock examination can also be used for practice
purposes, for examiner training and for general information.
