Section outline

    • The aim of this resource is to:

      • support teachers in conducting the Speaking test
      • demonstrate the role of the teacher/examiner and the structure of the Speaking test
      • give an indication of different levels of candidate performance.

      The videos in this resource are demonstrations only. The candidates and teachers volunteered to take part so that we could provide this support for our teachers. The tests were marked and commented on by a Cambridge moderator. 

      Moderator comments highlight where each candidate gains marks and could make improvements, and final marks have been awarded to give an indication of the level. Grades and certificates were not given to any of the participants. 

      Important note: Centres are required to submit audio recordings (not videos) to Cambridge International for moderation.  More information can be found in the Cambridge Handbook. 

      For examination from 2028 

      Candidates are allowed to make notes in the 10-minute preparation time. The notes must be handed to the teacher/examiner before the start of the test and stored securely until certificates are issued.
