Speaking Task 1 – Alternate
Have a friendly conversation with a classmate about a fun day
This assessed Speaking Task 1 should be used after completing Units 1-4 of Let’s Talk 1. The purpose of this assessment is to give students the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the language studied during the first half of this term. Instructors should make time for students to practice the task in advance of the actual assessment.
Keep in mind that this is structured as a communicative task: If students succeed in exchanging information about themselves by communicating in English, they have fulfilled the basic requirement of this assessed task.
