SPEAKING TEST PART 3:

COLLABORATIVE TASK
In this part, candidates are asked to respond to a written stimulus which forms the basis of a discussion. They are given a discussion question, together with five written prompts designed to help the candidates by providing ideas for their discussion. Candidates are expected  to answer the question by exploring the different prompts. Candidates can choose which prompts to discuss and are not expected to discuss all five prompts in the time available but should continue their discussion until asked to stop by the interlocutor. Candidates are expected to express and justify their opinions and speculate in order to have a conversation which answers the discussion question. The interlocutor will then ask candidates  a second question designed to encourage them to summarise their discussion and to work towards a negotiated decision. Candidates are not penalised if they fail to reach a negotiated decision. They are assessed on their ability to hold a conversation, to turn-take appropriately, and to use the language of negotiation and collaboration while doing this.

SPEAKING TEST PART 4:

DISCUSSION
This part tests the candidates' ability to engage in a discussion based on the topic of the collaborative task in Part 3.
The interlocutor directs the interacting by asking questions which encourage the candidates  to discuss further and broaden the topics introduced in Part 3. The questions differ from Part 1 in that they ask primarily for an evaluation rather than for information. This part of the test gives candidates an opportunity to show that they are capable of discussing issues in more depth than in the earlier stages of the test.
