Important information about your speaking test for the final exam (worth 25 percent of the grade)
Dear Students
Your final exam will be a speaking role-play assignment, I have already given you your role play topic sheets in class for each group.
You have plenty of time, within your groups, to prepare the conversation and memorize it for the test on the 10th of December.
Please note that you will have to MEMORIZE this conversation and not simply read it from a script.
You must make the conversation as long and as detailed as possible but you will have a time limit of 15 minutes.
The conversation should be at least 5 minutes for you to receive a passing grade (D).
This is a group grade task (not individual grade) so you should not allow lazy students to cause your group problems. If you think a student is doing no work and you want to get them out of your group (at least three of you must agree about this) tell me and we will sort it out.
YOU ALL MUST SPEAK to achieve a good grade, and you should not have some group members speaking much more than others.
The vocabulary, phrasing, grammatical structures (etc) for the test should be drawn from the kinds of things we have done in class.
