Speaking

You’ve got to study your Presentation Skills and take a short test.
After you’ve taken your test (and obviously you’ll all receive great marks on this) we’ll actually start working on your presentation that you will do in class. It will be a presentation on an international business in an English speaking country.

In both year 1 and year 2 (2019-2020) you are going to do the same presentation.

Provisional dates for your presentations can be found here (this is not certain yet!!!):

Please make sure you don’t just copy your text from Wikipedia (or whatever website – that would really just be plagiarism) because we want to hear the story in your words! Of course you can use everything you read to write your own presentation.

2018-2019
Before actually doing your presentation in year 1, you’ve got to study some sentences that you can (and should) then use in your presentation. Click on presentation sentences to open the document.

In year 1 you have to give a presentation on a city in an English speaking country.
This can be Great Britain but also the United States of America, Canada or Australia or…….(you name it!)
In year 2 you have to do a presentation on an international business in an English speaking country.

Year 1: Click on Presentation for more information.
Year 2: Click on Presentation for more information.

In year 2 you will also do some speaking during your Pearson exams. This is a very different way than the presentation above. However, these presentations are really good preparations!

In year 3 you’ve got to do your speaking exams through SPL. You will receive the information for your exam at a later date.

For speaking, it’s good to read out loud, sing along, copy what people (on TV or on the radio) are saying to get the right pronunciation. Check out the exercise below for some practice!
