Even if you have few ideas, you should be prepared to comment on what the examiner has asked you, and not adopt a role which is too passive. Avoid over-rehearsing the interview part of the test with your partner before the test, as this can lead to inappropriate answers.To prepare for SpeakingTo prepare for SpeakingPractise a variety of paired or small group activities in class. Familiarise yourself with the Speaking test format, which will help you give a more effective performance and can also help with nervousness.To prepare for SpeakingTo prepare for SpeakingCandidates with a quieter disposition should be encouraged to develop strategies to ensure that they are able to take their turn. Suitable thematic areas for discussion can be found in many business coursebooks and there is a list of topic areas in the BEC Handbook. Take opportunities to show what you are capable of and try to produce an extended sample of language for the examiner to assess. Listen carefully to instructions and questions asked throughout the test and focus your answers appropriately. Ask for repetition of instructions if you are unclear about what to do.InteractionInteractionAttempts to dominate your partner will be penalised. Be sensitive to the norms of turn-taking and respond appropriately to your partner’s utterances, as well as inviting opinions from your partner. Avoid cutting across or interrupting impolitely what your partner is saying.InteractionInteractionTry to avoid long silences and frequent pauses. Be prepared to initiate discussion in Part 3, as well as respond to what your partner has said. Don’tDon’tDon’t prepare long responses in advance, as it is unlikely that questions will be answered appropriately. Don’t try to give your views during your partner’s long turn. Don’t try to dominate your partner or interrupt in an abrupt way. Don’t worryDon’t worryDon’t worry when you cannot remember or do not know an occasional word. Don’t worry if you disagree with your partner. As long as you are polite and not overbearing, this is all part of interactive communication. Don’t worry about being interrupted by the examiner. For administrative reasons, it is important that tests do not overrun.Vantage Timing (2 candidates)Vantage Timing (2 candidates)Part 1 Interview 3 min Part 2 Mini-Presentation 6 min Part 3 Collaborative Task 5 min Total 14 min Vantage Timing (3 candidates)Vantage Timing (3 candidates)Part 1 Interview 5 min Part 2 Mini-Presentation 8 min Part 3 Collaborative Task 7 min Total 20 min Allowing Time in SpeakingAllowing Time in SpeakingIn Part 2 1 minute for both Candidate A and B to prepare and/or make notes for their own topic 1 minute for the presentation In Part 3 30 seconds for both candidates to read the task 3 minutes for the discussion Areas of Speaking assessmentAreas of Speaking assessmentGrammar and Vocabulary Discourse Management Pronunciation Interactive Communication Grammar and Vocabulary Grammar and Vocabulary Grammatical and lexical forms Control Range Appropriacy Discourse Management Discourse Management Individual performance Extent Relevance Coherence Cohesion PronunciationPronunciationComprehensibility: Ability to produce comprehensible utterances Intonation Stress Individual sounds Interactive CommunicationInteractive CommunicationAbility to take an active part in the development of the discourse Turn-taking Initiating Responding Development nullTime for questionsnull了解自己现有英语水平和商务背景知识 误区： BEC初级考试没有参加的必要性，该证书没有任何意义和含金量。第一起点就是中级证书，中级考过了，再选择高级。 选择合适的级别 Choose the right level剑桥通用英语五级水平考试（MSE）与 BEC 及IELTS的对应关系剑桥通用英语五级水平考试（MSE）与 BEC 及IELTS的对应关系剑桥通用英语 商务英语证书 雅 思IELTS 五级水平考试 CPE 9 8 CAE BECH 三级 7 6 FCE BECV 二级 5 4 PET BECP 一级 3 2 KET 1     选择合适的级别 选择合适的级别 The overall passing rate for BEC V of May 2008 session is 40%, the passing rate in China 38%, candidates from other country-77% null选择合适的级别 要有足够的学习及备考时间 Enough Learning Hours and preapration (Proposed learning hours)nullBEC Recognition BEC Recognition BEC认可BEC Recognition BEC认可 More than 10,000 employers, universities and government bodies around the world recognise Cambridge ESOL qualifications, including…BMW AstraZeneca Nestlé PricewaterhouseCoopers Siemens Johnson & Johnson Coca-Cola Motorola IBM KPMG BP Amoco Microsoft HSBC KLM Shell DHL WHO Airbus Ernst and Young P&G World Bank For more recognition information visit: www.CambridgeESOL.org/recogntion/search.php nullnullnullSupports 支持 Online support 在线资源Online support 在线资源a comprehensive website http://www.cambridgeESOL.org/ with Teacher Resource section, teaching tips, ideas and activities, Handbooks, sample materials, past paper packs and Examination reports 以上网站提供教师资源、教学 提示 春节期间物业温馨提示小区春节期间温馨提示物业小区春节温馨提示春节物业温馨提示物业春节期间温馨提示 、课堂活动及建议、考试手册、样题、历年 试题 中考模拟试题doc幼小衔接 数学试题 下载云南高中历年会考数学试题下载N4真题下载党史题库下载 、历年考试报告 regular seminars for teachers 定期提供教师 培训 焊锡培训资料ppt免费下载焊接培训教程 ppt 下载特设培训下载班长管理培训下载培训时间表下载 newsletters and Research Notes 剑桥实时通讯及研究报告 Teaching Resources website 教师资源网站www.cambridgeesol.org/teach.
