IELTS Speaking Part2 test is actually the mini-presentation/monologue part, in which students have to speak for 1 or (preferably) 2 minutes on the topic given by the examiner, including the four sub-points on the topic card(picture).
This task is the ultimate test of the candidates’ abilities to speak fluently and tie ideas together. And of course they also need to show the good pronunciation, grammar, lexical resource and ability to stay on task. 雅思口语考试的Part2,叫做独自描述或小型陈述,在这个部分中,考生需要用一分钟时间准备(组织语言),而后独自描述考官给出的话题1-2分钟时间,描述内容要涵盖话题卡上要求涉及到的4点要求。这个部分主要考察考生说英语的流利度以及组织语言的能力,当然还要辅以不错的发音、语法、词汇以及完成任务的能力。
Teachers find Speaking Part Two to be a challenge, both in terms of giving students as much practice as they need and in actually teaching for this part of test rather than just doing tasks in class. I have found that one of the best ways to both provide enough practice and to make sure you are teaching as well as practising it is to tie Speaking Part Two in with other parts of the exam.很多教师认为Part2的讲解比较有挑战,这体现在到底在课上用大量的时间让学生练习,还是用大量的时间讲授口语素材。我发现,一个比较好的方法是:将雅思口语的Part2部分与雅思考试的其他部分连接起来讲解,这不但能给学生足够练习的机会,还可以确保我们在让学生练习的时候,有充足的素材去讲授。
Here are some examples. 下面我们举几个例子。
Linking IELTS Speaking Part Two and Speaking Part One
将Part2部分与Part1部分串联在一起
Although students will never get the same topics in both Speaking Part One and Part Two of one test, many of the typical topics for Speaking Part One (hobbies, friends and family, hometown, home, festivals and celebration, media and the arts, technology, etc) could come up in Speaking Part Two instead. This means that you are very justified in doing questions of both types in one lesson. You could, for example, do Part One-style personal questions on hobbies, brainstorm suitable vocabulary, then do mini-presentations on the same topic. 虽然考生不可能在同一次口语考试的Part1和Part2中被考到完全一样的话题,但是在Part1中依然有很多经典题目,是与Part2中的话题卡关联很大的,如:(hobbies, friends and family, hometown, home, festivals and celebration, media and the arts, technology, etc)。这就意味着老师们有充足的理由在一节课上同时将Part1和Part2的题目一起讲解。比如,我们可以在讲解一部分关于爱好(Hobby)的问题时,让学生脑力风暴相关的词汇,而后在相同的话题卡(Hobby)中再次运用到这些资源。
