PET Speaking Part 4 – teacher’s notes Description After a brief introduction to Part 4, students practise a sample task. They then consider some language and other ways in which they can improve their interactive communication before repeating the task. They then look at a sample performance and evaluate the language used. Time required:
60 minutes
Materials required:
photographs from the PET Speaking Part 3 classroom activity
student’s worksheets 1 and 2
sample task
Audio or video recording of Part 4 of the Speaking test (e.g. the PET Speaking test video pack, available from Cambridge ESOL)
OHT of key for student’s worksheet 2 if possible,
6 different colour pens for each student (if possible a range of colours such as blue, red, green, brown, pink and yellow)
to introduce Part 4 and to practise it
to focus on some of appropriate language for PET Speaking Part 4
Aims:
Note: this activity should be done after the classroom activity for PET Speaking Part 3. Procedure 1. If necessary, briefly remind students of the topic of the photographs used in the classroom activity for PET Speaking Part 3. Read out the following instructions for the sample task to the class: Your photographs showed people with letters. Now I'd like you to talk together about the type of letters you like to write or receive and other ways you keep in with people. 2. Explain that Part 4 is always a continuation of the topic in Part 3 so that candidates are already familiar with it and have some ideas about it. Show the Part 3 photographs again and elicit what was on the photographs in this Part 3 (people reading and writing) and what candidates now have to talk about (types of letters that you write or receive and other ways you keep in with people). Brainstorm a few ideas of what they could talk about. Remind students that in Part 4 they have to work together with their partner again. 3. Put students in pairs, repeat the instructions for Part 4 and give them 5 minutes to discuss the topic.

4. Elicit or remind students of the assessment criteria. Explain that Interactive Communication is very important in this part again, as in Part 2. Elicit some examples of what interactive communication involves e.g. asking your partner’s opinion, showing interest, continuing your partner’s idea. 5. Hand out student’s worksheet 1 for students to work in pairs to match the phrases with the headings. Check with the whole class. Where appropriate, elicit an example of how a function could be used in Part 4. Then focus on pronunciation and drill the phrases a few times so that the students sound natural and feel confident using them. 6. Explain that as well as phrases, you can also show your communication skills by showing interest in what your partner is saying. Elicit some ways of doing this, e.g. listening noises (e.g. mmmm), nodding your head, eye , smiling. 7. Change the pairs of students. Ask them to repeat the task, this time focussing on maximising the interactive communication. Time the students for 3 minutes, monitor and take notes for later . 8. At the end, ask students their opinions on their performance. Give them your now or at a later stage. 9. Explain that they will now hear/see/read this task done by two candidates. Stress that this is not a model and that there are some good points and some weaker points compared to their own performances. 10. If you don’t have access to the Speaking test video pack, you could record yourself and a colleague doing Part 4 as an audio recording, using the transcript provided here. If no recording is possible, hand out the transcript for students to read through. If you are using video or audio, play the recording of and give students the transcript (student’s worksheet 2). 11. Ask students to consider briefly if the candidates had similar ideas to their own and to comment on their performance. Add your comments as appropriate. 12. Make sure each student has access to different coloured pens, or can highlight or underline in 6 different ways. Using the transcript, ask students to find and underline in different colour pens examples where the candidates are doing the following: Agreeing (in blue) Continuing your partner’s idea (in red) Disagreeing (in green) Giving reasons (in brown) Giving opinions (in pink) Showing interest (in yellow) 13. Students compare what they have underlined in pairs and then check with the class using the key on an OHT if possible.

14. Play the recording one more time for students. Ask students to follow using their underlined transcripts and to listen to find out if there are any examples of either candidate asking for their partner’s opinion (no there aren’t). Discuss why this might be (they both offer their opinion readily, they both seem to have similar ideas). Point out that it would have been better if they’d asked for each other’s opinion at least once. 15. Summarise Part 4 by giving the following statements for students to decide if they are true or false. The examiner sets up the task and then asks questions during the task. (False. The examiner sets up the task and then takes no further part. Candidates are expected to keep the conversation going themselves, though the interlocutor will intervene if there is a complete breakdown of communication.) The theme from Part 3 is continued in Part 4. (True. This is so that the candidates have already thought about the topic.) It is more important to talk about your own ideas than to ask for the views of your partner and comment on those. (False. both are equally important) You will lose marks if you don’t understand what your partner says. (False. This is ok as long as you can ask your partner for clarification or repetition)
Suggested follow-up activities 1. Teach and practise questions asking for clarification and repetition so that students feel comfortable with these. 2. Discussion activities with roles e.g. a student who doesn’t take turns, a student who only asks for opinions and never gives their own opinion, a student who never agrees with anything their partner says, etc. 3. 2 minute conversations on different topics with different partners.
