Practising your speaking skills.


Are you eager to practice your oral with native speakers? Well, Carlos Martin, a colleage and a virtual friend from Los Cristianos has published this on his wall in facebook.

Dickinson College in the United States is seeking native Spanish speakers for our class on Sept 24 from 8:30-9:20 AM New York time (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ for other cities). Our students will have questions prepared for a discussion in Spanish during the first half about the environment. The second half of the exchange will be in English. If you're a native Spanish speaker who would like to practice English via Skype contact us at this time.
Registration will close once the event is full.

First you have to register here

You should make every effort possible to find somebody to speak with.

Tips for the Oral Exam

The oral exam is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your knowledge, your speaking skills, as well as your ability to communicate.
Before the exam practice working with classmates or practice in front of a mirror, to evaluate yourself.
Maintain your self-confidence and composure.
If you find yourself anxious, take several slow, deep breaths to relax.
Don't talk about the test to other students just before entering the room: their anxiety can be contagious.
Correct yourself if you make any mistakes.
Keep eye contact.
And remind yourself that you are well-prepared and are going to do well.

I have generated a list of questions related to the topics we have studied this year if you want to work with a classmate or with yourself.

Oral Exam

One of the most difficul things when students start studying English is how to ask questions.
As you have been informed, the second part of the oral exam is a conversation with a partner where you may have to suggest something or complain or ask about and answer questions to a given subject.
In the document below you'll have some of the topics we have studied in class this year, with some questions that you might find useful.
