Speaking
How is the Speaking conducted?
The test takers are given 20 minutes to prepare for Speaking individually. During this time they have the
opportunity to study the task sheets for the three parts of the subtest and think about the topics.
Speaking is always conducted by two licensed telc examiners and lasts approximately 15 minutes with
two test takers. In case of an uneven number of test takers, one group of three test takers will be
examined together. In this case the examination lasts approximately 20 minutes.

What are the test takers expected to do?


The test takers are expected to converse with each other and respond to the arguments of their
partners in such a way that a lively and authentic conversation develops. Inquiries and mutual
assistance in the conversation are viewed positively. Notes taken during the 20-minute preparation
phase may be used in the oral examination, but test takers are not permitted to read directly from
them.

What is the main focus of each part of the examination?

Introduction: Social Contacts (30–60 seconds)


During this part of the examination, the test takers should introduce themselves if they do not know
each other. If they know each other, then they should talk naturally. This part of the examination will not
be marked.

© by telc gGmbH, Frankfurt a. M., telc Hungary English B2 – Mock Examination 1, 2022
Part 1: Presentation (approx. 5 minutes)
In this part of the examination, the test takers should give a short presentation to their partner(s) on
one of the topics listed on the task sheet. After each presentation, their partner should ask questions
about the presentation.

Part 2: Discussion (approx. 5 minutes)


Test takers have the same task sheet with a text to discuss with their partner(s). They should include
their own opinions and ideas about the topic and include personal examples, possible problems and
possible solutions.

Part 3: Task (approx. 5 minutes)


The test takers receive the same instruction sheet. Their task is to plan something together. They
should express ideas, make proposals and react to the proposals of their partner(s). They should clarify
what is to be done, who should take over which job, which problems could occur and discuss possible
solutions. They do not need to reach a consensus.

HELPING LOC AL PEOPLE IN NEED

Every Friday, 65-year-old Holly MacNamara makes her way down the streets of suburban Manchester
to her local foodbank. Here she stands in line to receive a 3-day emergency ration without which,
she says, survival would be impossible. In the past, before her husband Bernard passed away, she
would never have dreamt of ever needing a foodbank. “The hardest part was asking for help”, she
admits. Most of Holly’s life was spent as mother and housewife, so she only receives a very small
state pension and needs help to cope with everyday expenses. “She is by far not the only one”, vicar
and foodbank manager, Robert Swanson tells us. “We have people coming here from all stages of
life – from recently graduated university students that cannot find a job, to people who cannot work
because of illness or misfortune.”

Sadly, food banks have become a necessary part of society in most European countries. The
European Federation of Foodbanks states that more than 8.1 million people across the European
Union rely upon them to help keep themselves fed. While charities should be praised for organising
foodbanks to prevent so many people from starving, the question remains: Why are so many
individuals struggling with poverty and not able to rely on the social security systems of their
respective home countries? “The worst time for me was the five weeks’ wait until my first universal
credit* instalment was paid,” Holly MacNamara states, highlighting the bureaucratic problems of the
system. Robert Swanson agrees: “The fact that so many foodbanks are needed here is partly due to
the unhelpful social security regulations. This is a very worrying trend.”

The state may be failing to support the poor, but others are willing to help, either financially, by
volunteering, or by donating food. Foodbanks are always happy to welcome volunteers who sort
the donations into parcels and hand them out to those in need. Care professionals, such as social
workers, health visitors and schools identify people who might need help and distribute vouchers
for local foodbanks. “In theory, only those with a voucher get a ration, but nobody who stands in
line goes home empty-handed,” the vicar claims.

Marking Criteria for Writing

The Writing subtest is assessed by licensed telc raters. In the case of disagreement, the marks awarded by
the second rater are taken in preference. Spot checks are carried out at the telc head office. In such cases
the telc rating becomes the final score.

Criterion I: Content

Writing Part 1 Writing Part 2


(Interactive Task with Guiding Points) (Productive Task)

Assessment is made on the basis of Assessment is made on the basis of


1. the appropriate choice of type of text = 1. the appropriate choice of type of text =

B appropriate in most respects. 3
C mostly inappropriate. 1
D completely inappropriate. 0

Criterion II: Communicative Design


Assessment is based on
1. the way the text has been organised.
2. the links between the sentences and between the parts of the text.
3. the range and variety of language used.
4. the appropriacy of the register.
The communicative design of the letter is Points
A appropriate in all respects. 5
B appropriate in most respects. 3
C mostly inappropriate. 1
D completely inappropriate. 0

Criterion III: Language


Assessment is based on syntax, morphology and spelling. The letter contains Points
A no errors or only one or two errors without affecting the communicative aim of the letter. 5
B a few errors without impairing the reader’s understanding of the letter at one reading. 3
C errors that make it necessary to read the letter a number of times thus noticeably 1
impairing the reader’s understanding of the communicative aim of the letter.
D so many errors that the communicative aim of the letter is not fulfilled. 0
Information 35

How does the assessment occur?


Each text is assessed by two licensed telc raters, with quality control carried out at telc’s international
headquarters. Each text (Writing Part 1 and Writing Part 2) can be awarded a maximum of 15 points. If
criterion I and/or criterion III are marked “D”, then the whole text receives zero points.

Calculation of the score


Each of the writing samples in the subtest Writing are awarded points according to the three criteria:
Content, Communicative Design and Language. The points are awarded as follows:

A = 5 points
B = 3 points
C = 1 point
D = 0 points

The final score for Writing, Part 1 is multiplied by 3 and the final score for Writing, Part 2 is multiplied by
2. Writing, Part 1 is worth a maximum of 45 points and Writing, Part 2 is worth a maximum of 30 points.

Marking Criteria for Speaking

The test taker’s performance in this subtest is assessed on the basis of four criteria.

1. Expression 3. Accuracy/Language
2. Task Management 4. Pronunciation and Intonation

The test taker’s performance is rated according to whether the criteria are entirely fulfilled, largely fulfilled,
not entirely fulfilled or not at all fulfilled as can be expected of a test taker at B2 level of the CEFR.

The individual criteria will now be defined in more detail, based on the “Can Do” descriptors of the CEFR
in a slightly modified form. There is a table at the end which provides a practical overview. The
descriptors are taken from the CEFR Companion Volume_eng2020.

All criteria are assessed individually in each part of the oral examination.

1. Expression
Assessment is based on
• the extent to which the language used (vocabulary and functional exponents) is appropriate to the
content of the task and the role relationship between the test takers.
• the range and variety of language used.
• the realisation of the speech intentions.

The relevance of the marking criterion Expression to the CEFR is as follows.

General Can express themselves clearly without much sign of having to restrict what they want to say.
linguistic Has a sufficient range of language to be able to give clear descriptions, express viewpoints and
range develop arguments without much conspicuous searching for words, using some complex sentence

forms to do so.
Vocabulary Has a good range of vocabulary for matters connected to their field and most general topics.
range Can vary formulation to avoid frequent repetition, but lexical gaps can still cause hesitation and
circumlocution.
Can produce appropriate collocations of many words in most contexts fairly systematically.
Vocabulary Lexical accuracy is generally high, though some confusion and incorrect word/sign choice does occur

Information 37

2. Task Management
Assessment is based on
• the degree of active participation in the discourse.
• the use of strategies (discourse strategies and, where necessary, compensation strategies).
• fluency.

The relevance of the marking criterion Task Management to the CEFR is as follows.

Asking for Can ask for explanation or clarification to ensure they understand complex, abstract ideas.
clarification Can formulate follow-up questions to a member of a group to clarify an issue that is implicit or poorly
articulated.
Turntaking Can initiate, maintain and end discourse appropriately with effective turntaking.
Can initiate discourse, take their turn when appropriate and end conversation when they need to,
though they may not always do this elegantly.
Can use stock phrases (e.g. “That’s a difficult question to answer”) to gain time and keep the turn while
formulating what they want to express.
Co-operating Can help the discussion along on familiar ground, confirming comprehension, inviting others in, etc.
Can summarise the point reached at a particular stage in a discussion and propose the next steps.
Thematic Can develop a clear description or narrative, expanding and supporting their main points with relevant
development supporting detail and examples.
Can develop a clear argument, expanding and supporting their points of view at some length with
subsidiary points and relevant examples. Can evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of various
options.
Coherence Can use a limited number of cohesive devices to link their utterances into clear, coherent discourse,
and cohesion though there may be some “jumpiness” in a long contribution.
Fluency Can produce stretches of language with a fairly even tempo; although they can be hesitant as they search
for patterns and expressions, there are few noticeably long pauses.
Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with users of the
target language quite possible without imposing strain on either party.

4. Pronunciation and Intonation


Assessment is based on pronunciation and intonation.

The relevance of the marking criterion Pronunciation and Intonation to the CEFR is as follows.

Overall Can generally use appropriate intonation, place stress correctly and articulate individual sounds
phonological clearly; accent tends to be influenced by the other language(s) they speak, but has little or no effect

Sound Can articulate a high proportion of the sounds in the target language clearly in extended stretches of
articulation production; is intelligible throughout, despite a few systematic mispronunciations.

features convey, though with some influence from the other languages they speak.

Assessment

During Speaking, each of the two examiners marks the test takers’ performances individually. After the
test takers have left the room, the examiners reach a consensus on the marks to be awarded for each
test taker.

Calculation of the score

The test takers can receive a total of 25 points in each part of Speaking, with a maximum total of
75 points. This corresponds to 23% of the highest possible total of 330 points.

How Does the Examination Work?

Scoring using the Answer Sheet S30


The Answer Sheet S30 is a thin booklet with four perforated pages. All of the testing results are recorded
on these sheets. Test takers record their answers for the subtests Reading, Language Elements and
Listening on pages two and three. Examiners mark their results for Speaking on page four and raters mark
their results for the subtest Writing on pages six and eight.
A soft lead pencil should be used to fill in the ovals in the marking section, as well as the contact
information at the beginning of the test.

Where are the tests evaluated? How are they evaluated?


The test results are scored electronically at telc headquarters. Each Answer Sheet S30 is scanned and
compared to the answer keys, which are stored in a database. Based on this data, each test taker is
issued a result sheet listing their personal test results and a telc certificate. Additionally, the data which
has been saved for the scoring purposes is used to check and improve upon the quality of the
examinations.

telc raters and examiners


All examiners who evaluate the test takers’ oral performances possess a telc examiner licence. They
have received this licence by successfully participating in a telc training course. The requirements for
becoming an examiner are: experience in teaching English, knowledge of the CEFR levels and an
understanding of the communicative approach. telc licences are not valid indefinitely, rather they must
be renewed at regular intervals. The examiner is required to attend another training course in order to
renew their licence. All raters who evaluate the test takers’ written expression have solid experience
with telc tests. They have been trained in the test format at telc headquarters, continue to attend
scaling events to ensure that their rating standards remain consistent and, each rater must also
possess a valid telc rater licence, which must be renewed at regular intervals.

Written Examination
The written examination lasts 150 minutes and consists of the subtests Reading, Language Elements
and Writing.

Before starting the examination, the test takers should fill in the information section on the Answer
Sheet S30. In order to prevent misunderstandings, the invigilator writes the name of the examination
centre, the date and the six-digit test version number on the board. The invigilator also needs to inform
the test takers that dictionaries, mobile phones or other electronic devices are not allowed
(Instructions §§ 15 and 16).

After the test takers have filled in the Answer Sheet S30, the invigilator should hand out the test
booklets. The starting and ending times should be written on the board and should be visible for all of
the test takers.
Information 43

Oral Examination
The Oral Examination consists of two subtests: Listening and Speaking. The subtest Listening takes
about 20 minutes.

How long does Speaking take?


Speaking examinations carried out with two test takers take approximately 20 minutes, about 15 of
which are needed for the examination conversation itself. The remaining five minutes are used by the
examiners for assessment purposes. In the case of an uneven number of test takers, one group of three
test takers will be examined together. In this case the examination itself lasts approximately 20
minutes. The very first part, Social Contacts, is not marked and is meant as a warm-up only. The time
allowed for examining is divided into three parts: Part 1 (Presentation), which should take about four
minutes, Part 2 (Discussion) and Part 3 (Task), each of which should take about five minutes.

Preparing for the examination


All test takers have the opportunity to prepare individually for the three tasks of Speaking by using the
task sheets. There must be an invigilator in the preparation room in order to ensure that the test takers
do not speak to each other and that they do not use any electronic devices such as mobile phones.
(Instructions §§15 and 16).

The test takers are allowed to take notes during this time, which they are allowed to use during the oral
examination. Therefore, the examination center should provide stamped paper in the preparation room.
The test takers are not allowed to make marks on the task sheets.

What do the examiners do?


The examiners make sure all time restrictions are adhered to. They provide a transition from one
section to another and ensure that the test takers are each given adequate time to speak. The
examiners are asked to keep the amount of speaking that they do to a minimum. They should only
intervene when the conversation falters, comes to a halt or is dominated by one person. In the first

© by telc gGmbH, Frankfurt a. M., telc Hungary English B2 – Mock Examination 1, 2022
scenario, they should attempt to revive the conversation by using a short utterance or question to
restimulate the conversation. In the second scenario, they are asked to speak directly to the less active
participant in order to reintegrate them in the conversation.

It is theoretically possible that both examiners intervene in order to revive a faltering conversation.
However, it is recommended that one examiner takes the role of the interlocutor and the other the role
of the assessor. These roles should be continued throughout the examination conversation.

The examiners record their marks on the Score Sheet M10 during the examination. Each examiner
evaluates the test takers’ performances individually. Each test part is to be assessed using the four
evaluation criteria for Speaking, which means that each examiner needs to make twelve assessments
per test taker. After the test takers have left the room, the examiners compare their assessments. This
exchange helps the examiners to re-evaluate their observations and to reach a consensus. Then the
results are entered onto Answer Sheet S30.

PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 41 FOR POINTS AND GRADES


44 Information

Additional details about Speaking


In all three parts of Speaking, the test takers should strive for a natural conversation. The examiners
have more of a moderating role and less of a guiding role. The desired course of the conversation
should be supported by the correct seating plan. The test takers should be able to see one another
clearly in order to avoid the impulse to continuously look at the examiners.

If the examiners are forced to intervene, they should be careful how they do this. For example, open
questions such as “What do you mean?” or “Could you explain?” or restating aspects that the test takers
have already mentioned during the conversation are very useful strategies to accomplish this. The
additional topics which have been mentioned by the test takers in Part 1 (Social Contacts), can be
brought up again if the conversation comes to a halt or if the utterances seem to have been memorized
in advance.

The test takers are allowed to use notes that they have created in the preparation time, however, they
should not read them directly from the paper. If this occurs, it is the responsibility of the examiner to
point out to the test takers that the tasks are intended to encourage free speaking.

Framework for the Oral Examination


Although every examination conversation is different, in the interests of consistency and reliability
examiners should always adhere to a standard framework. The following typical prompts demonstrate
how the interlocutor gives the examination the necessary structure, leading the test takers through all
the parts and ensuring that the test takers have the same opportunities to demonstrate their skills. If
the interlocutor needs to encourage the test takers to speak, open questions should be used (What do
you think …? How …?).

EXAMINATION PREPARATION

MOCK EXAMINATION 1
telc HUNGARY ENGLISH B2

The two main characteristic features of telc examinations are examination papers based
on clearly formulated language tasks and standardised and objective marking criteria.
These features apply to all English examinations covered by the telc programme. The
mock examination presented here enables teachers and learners to simulate the precise
conditions under which the telc English B2 examinations take place, both from the
perspective of organising the test as well as from the point of view of the test materials.
In this way, it is possible to fully prepare test takers for the examination. The mock
examination can thus be used for practice purposes and for general information.
