Процедура проведения конкурса устной речи (Speaking)

 

Во время выполнения устного задания участник не может выходить из аудитории, где проводится конкурс. Для проведения конкурса пары участников формируются организаторами методом жеребьевки.

В каждой аудитории для проведения конкурса находятся два члена жюри.

Распределение обязанностей между членами жюри при проведении конкурса:

Член жюри №1: проведение беседы с участником конкурса и заполнение протокола ответа (прилагается),

Член жюри №2: заполнение протокола ответа.

Члены жюри могут поочередно выполнять обе функции.

Все инструкции участникам даются на английском языке.

Преподаватели начинают вести беседу и задают каждому участнику 2-3 вопроса для того, чтобы снять напряжение, расположить их к беседе и подготовить к выполнению устного задания олимпиады.

Время, отводимое на данный этап задания, 1 – 2 минуты.

Первый этап — монологическое высказывание по предложенной теме. Члены жюри сообщают участникам конкурса основную информацию о первом задании. Участники высказываются по очереди. Длительность ответа каждого участника — 2 - 3 минуты.

Второй этап — диалогическая речь в виде беседы участников друг с другом. Длительность беседы — 5 -7 минут. Члены жюри могут задавать наводящие вопросы по мере необходимости, могут остановить беседу, если она начинает выходить за обозначенные рамки.

Максимально отводимое время на пару участников для выступления составляет 10 –12 минут. При нечетном количестве участников вместо последней пары одновременно проходят собеседование три участника.

Ответы участников оцениваются двумя экспертами в соответствии с прилагаемыми критериями (см. Критерии оценивания конкурса устной речи). Максимальное количество баллов – 30 баллов.
