FOCUS OF THE SPEAKING TASKS
TASK 1, Role-Play
A role play based on one topic. This is allocated by Pearson at the time of assessment.
All role plays are marked for communication only.
Students are required to refer to past, present and future events in this assessment at both Foundation and
Higher tiers, using different timeframes.
Task 3, Conversation
Students are required to convey information, give points of view, develop and initiate conversation and
discussion and produce extended sequences of speech.
The conversation is based on any two themes and is in two parts.
PART ONE: The student selects one topic from one theme in advance of the assessment. The choice of topic
must be agreed between the student and the teacher and must be selected no later than two weeks before
the assessment takes place. This part of the conversation task starts with this first topic and then may move
on to other topics within the same theme.
PART TWO: The conversation must be on a different theme. This will be prescribed by Pearson through
instructions on a sequencing grid.
Students are required to refer to past, present and future events in this assessment, using a range of tenses
and timeframes.
Teachers must ensure that an equal amount of time is allocated to both parts of the conversation.
