Introduction
These instructions are for the teacher(s)/examiner(s) who are responsible for conducting and assessing
the Cambridge IGCSE French speaking tests at your centre. In these instructions we use the word
‘you’ to refer to the teacher/examiner conducting the speaking tests.
The purpose of the speaking test
The purpose of the speaking test is to assess candidates’ spoken performance in Cambridge IGCSE
French.
To achieve this it is important to:
• create a supportive atmosphere and encourage each candidate to speak
• follow all of the instructions
• conduct each test using the questions and prompts exactly as they are printed in the teacher/
examiner scripts provided in this booklet
• record the speaking tests of all candidates.
Structure of the speaking test
The structure is as follows:
Task Duration Task focus

Preparation time 10 minutes
Greeting (non-assessed) approximately 30 seconds
Role play approximately 2 minutes Candidates respond to transactional
questions to, for example, accomplish a
task or obtain goods/services.
Topic conversation 1 4 minutes Candidates respond to questions on one
specific sub-topic from Topic Area A or B to
share views, opinions and experiences.
Topic conversation 2 4 minutes Candidates respond to questions on one
specific sub-topic from Topic Area C, D or E
to share views, opinions and experiences.
The test does not need to last exactly 10 minutes. For example:
• if the role play lasts less than 2 minutes, you do not need to add extra questions
• if the role play lasts more than 2 minutes, do not reduce the time allocated to the topic conversations
• if the topic conversation lasts 3½ minutes or less, even after asking extension questions, you
must ask up to two further questions of your choice on the same topic as the other questions to
make sure that the conversation lasts 4 minutes.

Preparation in advance of the speaking test
Before starting the speaking tests at the centre, you must:
• read these instructions, including the mark schemes, carefully before conducting your first test
• read the guidance in the Cambridge Handbook about the conduct of non-coursework speaking
tests
• study the scripts for both the role play and topic conversations
• make sure that there are two separate rooms available: one room where candidates prepare for
the test (this will be the preparation room) and one room where candidates take the test (this will
be the examination room)
• check that the recording equipment is working properly
• write the syllabus number, centre number and your name on the working mark sheet. Complete
the boxes at the top of the working mark sheet with the correct details about your centre and the
exam.
You must NOT share the topics of the topic conversations with candidates before their test.
You must NOT share the topics of the topic conversations with the candidates during their preparation
time.
Note: if more than one teacher/examiner is marking the Cambridge IGCSE French speaking tests at
the centre, you must all agree the approach and standard of marking before conducting the first test.
Please read the factsheet about internal moderation, which can be found on the samples database at
www.cambridgeinternational.org/samples
On the day of the speaking test
Before each candidate’s test
You must:
• select a candidate card using the randomisation instructions on page 14
• give the candidate card to the candidate in the preparation room
• tell the candidate that they have 10 minutes to prepare
• tell the candidate they must not write anything during the preparation time
• make sure that the candidate is supervised under exam conditions during the preparation time.
Note that the exam conditions must be maintained until the test is complete.
• find the correct role play questions and topic conversation scripts in this instruction booklet for the
candidate you are about to examine
• write the candidate’s name, their candidate number, the candidate card number and topic
conversation numbers on the working mark sheet.

6
During each candidate’s test
1 At the start of the test, press ‘record’ on the recording equipment. Do not stop or pause the
recording at any point during the test.
2 Say your name, the candidate’s name, their candidate number, the candidate card number and
the date. For example:
‘Teacher/examiner name: Mr John Smith

Candidate number: 0031
Candidate name: Anita Cheng
Candidate card number: 3
Date: [the date on which the test is conducted] ’
3 Start the timer or look at a clock to note the start time of the test. (You should monitor the timing for
each part of the test (role play: approximately 2 minutes, topic conversation 1: 4 minutes and topic
conversation 2: 4 minutes); you may want to restart the timer for each part.)
From this point onwards, all parts of the test must be conducted in French.
Role play
4 Greet the candidate using the prompts provided. This is not assessed.
5 Set the scene for the role play by reading out the role play scenario exactly as it is printed in this
instruction booklet.
6 Ask the first role play question exactly as it is printed. If there are two parts to the question (e.g.
‘When …? Why?’), you should pause and wait for the answer to the first part before asking the
second part.
Note: You can repeat any role play question if the candidate has not understood or did not hear
but you must not rephrase any of the role play questions. If the candidate still cannot answer
one of the questions after you have repeated it, move on to the next task.
7 Listen to the candidate’s answer.
8 Assess the candidate’s answer using the role play mark scheme on page 10 and write down the
mark on the working mark sheet (WMS). When you are awarding marks, start at the bottom band
and work upwards. Find the band which best fits the candidate’s response. Then award the mark
for that band. The purpose of the role play is to communicate an appropriate response to each
task. A short response to a task, if it communicates fully and is correct, is worth 2 marks.
9 Repeat the process described above in points 6–8 for each role play question, until you have
asked all of the role play questions.
10 When the role play is complete, tell the candidate that the role play has finished and that it is time
to start the topic conversations.
Remember, you cannot stop or pause the recording during a test.

13 Ask each question exactly as it is printed. You must ask all five questions in the order shown.
If there are two parts to the question (e.g. ‘When …? Why?’), you should pause and wait for the
answer to the first part before asking the second part.
14 Listen carefully to and acknowledge the candidate’s answer to each question.
15 If the candidate does not answer a question, or answers very briefly and you think that they
could give a fuller response, follow the instructions in the table below. You can encourage fuller
responses by asking extension questions such as ‘Tell me more about …’, ‘What else can you tell
me about …?’, ‘Is there anything else you want to say about …?’.
Questions If the candidate does not If the candidate still If the candidate still
give a relevant answer does not give a relevant does not give a relevant

Peux-tu me dire autre chose à ce sujet ?
• If the topic conversation lasts 3½ minutes or less, even after asking extension questions, you
must ask up to two further questions of your choice on the same topic as the other questions
to make sure that the conversation lasts 4 minutes.

recording, follow the instructions in the Cambridge Handbook about failed recordings.
After completing all of the speaking tests at the centre
• Add up the marks for each candidate and write the total mark in the appropriate column. Check all
additions carefully.
• If more than one teacher/examiner is marking the Cambridge IGCSE French speaking
tests at the centre, you must make arrangements to internally moderate all of the teachers’/
examiners’ marking so that all candidates are assessed to a common standard. You can find
further information about the process of internal moderation on the samples database at
www.cambridgeinternational.org/samples
• You must write the internally moderated marks for all candidates on the working mark sheet(s) and
submit these marks to Cambridge International according to the instructions set out in the Cambridge
Handbook and on the samples database at www.cambridgeinternational.org/samples
• The centre must submit a sample of candidates’ speaking test recordings to Cambridge
International for external moderation. Please check the requirements for the centre on the samples
database at www.cambridgeinternational.org/samples

for the role play and reminds candidates that the test will contain two topic conversations. There are
corresponding teacher/examiner scripts for each candidate card.
The candidate cards and topics for conversation should be allocated to candidates in sequence as
shown in the table below.
• If you are conducting more than 30 tests in a day, return to the beginning of the sequence after the
30th candidate.
