IGCSE (0547) PAPER 3: SPEAKING

STRUCTURE OF THE EXAMINATION Test 1: Role Plays (about 5 minutes) 30 marks Test 2: Topic Presentation/Conversation (about 5 minutes) 30 marks Test 3: General Conversation (about 5 minutes) 3o marks

Test 1: Role Plays Each candidate gets one card containing two role play situations (Role Play A and Role Play B). Each of these situations consists of five tasks (numbered 1-5 on the Role Play Cards). Candidates may not make written notes during their preparation time. They may take the Role Play Card they have prepared into the examination room.

Examples

Test 2: Topic Presentation This part of the examination starts with a two-minute presentation by the candidate on a topic of their choice which they will have prepared in advance. The teacher/Examiner will follow up the presentation with specific questions on the topic bringing the total time for the Topic Presentation and Topic Conversation to approximately 5 minutes. Candidates must choose a topic in which they have a personal interest. Suitable subjects might be, for example: ‘School life’, ‘Hobbies and pastimes’ (general or specific), ‘My country’, ‘Life in another country’, ‘My ambitions’, ‘Holidays’. Candidates should NOT present ‘Myself’ or ‘My life’ as topics as these can often pre-empt the General Conversation section. Candidates may use illustrative material, e.g. photographs, if this seems appropriate to their topic, but are not allowed to use written notes of any kind. The teacher/Examiner must allow the candidate to speak for one to two minutes uninterrupted on their chosen topic before starting the Topic Conversation. The teacher/Examiner would try to probe, explore, ask for explanations, enlargements, descriptions (how? when? why? tell me a bit more about...etc.).

Test 3: General Conversation The teacher/Examiner will indicate to the candidate the point of transition from Topic Conversation to General Conversation. Questioning in the General Conversation must not cover the same material as the Topic Conversation, e.g. if the candidate has talked about Sport in the Topic Conversation, it is not appropriate for the teacher/Examiner to return to this topic in the General Conversation. The General Conversation MUST last the stipulated 5 minutes for each candidate. The teacher/Examiner will cover two or three of the Defined Content Topics in this section of the examination. Examples of suitable topics are school (subjects, number of periods, times, games, etc.), home, town, journey to and from school, free time (evenings, weekends), holidays, hobbies. The types of questions the candidate will be asked, such as when? how many? how long? with whom? with what? how? etc. to more searching questions such as why? tell me about... what do you think about? The use of vocabulary or phrases from the candidate’s first language should be avoided, except in the case of particular institutions e.g. names of examinations, types of school, etc.
