The amount of students preparing and sitting Cambridge Official English exams is growing every day. Teachers need to come up with ways to add variety to what can be sometimes dull and repetitive English exam preparation classes. That’s why I’ve put together some Cambridge style speaking tests for both B1 and B2 levels, but with a twist.
Last week, a group of students told me that they weren’t coming to class next week because they were going to watch a football match.
But not just any football match, it’s Spain playing in the World Cup. It’s incredible how many of my students are obsessed with football and for them, the World Cup is one of the most exciting sporting events in the calendar. These Cambridge style speaking tests are designed for those students who are preparing for the B1 or B2 exam but also can’t shake that football fever!
If you teach both B1 and B2 level students then why not pick up both speaking papers right here?
B2 First Speaking Paper & B1 Preliminary Speaking Paper World Cup 2022 Edition
B1 Preliminary Speaking Test
The B1 speaking exam consists of 4 parts and tests a variety of speaking skills. The topics are varied but one of them is based around sports, so teaching your B1 students to talk about football in general can be useful. To learn more about the format of the speaking paper and the rest of the exam, visit here for more information.
My lesson material contains a complete speaking exam from Part 1 to 4, with 2 sets of photos for part 2 and a discussion task in part 3. All the parts are related to the upcoming World Cup in Qatar 2022 so it will engage your students.
In part 1 of this test, the candidate is asked questions about their free time and so your students must be clear on the correct use of the present simple. If you need some ideas on how to practice this in class, then check out my post here.
