Speaking Assessment Unit 1-4 - March 27, 2014

For the students who were absent today....

The speaking exam is now unlocked, so please do the exam tonight, Thursday night.  The deadline for submission is 8:30am tomorrow March 28th.  It must be completed before the written exam.

When doing the speaking exam, please remember the following:

• do not prepare the questions ahead of time - we would like to hear you speaking naturally like you are having a conversation
• do not read the question, just answer the questions.  You can, however, read out the number of the question
• do not spend more than 5-7 minutes on the entire speaking exam.  Please give complete, focused answers
• please remember you can make your video "unlisted" and only share the link with your instructor
• when notifying your instructor that you have completed the exam, please send the youtube link in an email to your instructor.  I will test it and make sure it opens properly & email you back letting you know.

Good luck everyone!  Looking forward to listening to them :)
