Week 10

Sunday March 6 period 3 speaking test preparation

Students had ample time to prepare for their speaking tests using the method used Thu March 3 (below)

Speaking Assessment 2 – Week 10 of term (15%)

Video description (non-routine situations) (Part 1)
Follow-up questions related to the video (Part 2)

Demonstrate ability to describe a short video using Aviation English vocabulary
Demonstrate ability to answer questions asked by interviewer
Demonstrate ability to speak fluently using a range of grammatical structures

Week 9

Thursday, March 3 (Period 5)

View a video segment and make a recording in this way

Follow this method explained here
Please understand the method of speaking exam preparation in Vance.docx

1. Watch a video from this list
http://efan101.pbworks.com/w/page/87785011/Videoclips_for_N101_Final_Speaking

2. USE the worksheet I gave you and which many of you filled out

http://vancesclass.pbworks.com/w/file/105680658/Week10videopractice.docx

3. Make a recording of your answers to the questions you wrote on the worksheet

4. Email the recording to vstevens@hct.ac.ae or airdrop it to me during class

AND return the worksheet you worked from

When I get BOTH the recording AND the worksheet

I will provide feedback on the recording written on the worksheet

What happened in this class?

The teacher set the assignment as shown above.

It was displayed on the board and available to the students on their iPads

The teacher modeled what he wanted the students to do

He chose clip 3 from this page with the video clips above
He went over the questions checklist and explained how he would fill it in for that clip
He recorded a sample speaking test in a few minutes
20160303-070801nearmiss.m4a

Please understand the method of speaking exam preparation in Vance’s Classes

Continue this cycle: Please understand the method of speaking exam preparation in Vance.docx

First we introduce the ICAO exam context via PIE (Practice ICAO Exams) site, VIDEO descriptions

http://www.practiceicaoenglish.com/demo/index.html (find this link at Bb Mobile Learn)

Next we provide a CHECKLIST of points you might cover on your speaking final exam

http://vancesclass.pbworks.com/w/file/105680658/Week10videopractice.docx

(This and other links available at http://VancesClass.pbworks.com)

Third, we MODEL what you need to do on the speaking test

You can find sample videos here
http://efan101.pbworks.com/w/page/87785011/Videoclips_for_N101_Final_Speaking

We have three steps for modeling. For each of the videos

(1) We have a Hot Potatoes exercise that each student can complete online

(2) We have worksheets made from these exercises

(3) Students can fill out the written checklist for each of these models

Finally, students can record themselves using the worksheet in step (3) above

Your teacher will correct your worksheet and return it to you.

(1) Make your first two recordings using the completed worksheet

(2) After that try making recordings without using the worksheet

Vance will record in his gradebook each time you have

(1) Completed a Hot Potatoes cloze exercise

(2) Completed a worksheet

(3) Emailed your recording to vstevens@hct.ac.ae

This method is meant to help students improve in their speaking performance. Because teacher time is limited and in order to work efficiently, Vance accepts recordings only from students who have followed the prescribed approach designed to help them improve. These steps must be followed so that available time can be spent on students who are working systematically to improve their performance.
