Introduction
The main aim of this resource is to exemplify standards and show how different levels of candidate performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject's curriculum and assessment objectives.
This resource includes
- speaking test criteria
- recordings of three speaking tests
- transcripts including moderator comments to indicate how the teacher/examiner and candidate perform during the test
- moderator comments on where and why marks were awarded.
- common mistakes and guidance about how candidates performed in this particular examination series.
Candidate responses have been chosen from June 2024 Paper 3 to exemplify a range of answers to a selection of Speaking Assessment topics. Details of the Speaking Assessments can be found on pages 10-29 of the Teacher's Notes available on the School Support Hub under the Examination resources tab.
Please note: Information about the candidate and centre has been removed from the start of the recording to protect the identity of the candidate, however it is very important to include this information when submitting audios for moderation.
More information about this examination series can be found in the Principal Examiner
