To give you an insight into what is involved in the exam, we have laid out a summary of the assessments:

JUNIOR PRELIMINARY GRADE (ages 5-8)

Students will tell a story, or describe a picture, with appropriate expressions.

Once they have finished, the audience will be invited to ask the students questions about the story or picture. Finally, students will present a memorised short poem or nursery rhyme.

JUNIOR GRADE (ages 9-12)

Students must tell an original story or talk about a picture, with proper narrative structure.

The audience will then ask questions about the story, or even about the student’s interests.

Students will present two pieces - one is a memorised poem, the other is a short passage from a book chapter.

SENIOR GRADE (ages 1T2+)

Students will prepare a presentation on at topic, and demonstrate understanding and speaking proficiency. Similar to the previous two assessments, the audience is invited to ask questions on the students’ talk. Next, students will present a monologue or a poem, as well as introduce a book and their reasons for choosing it. Finally, students will perform an announcement-style speech, using rhetoric and expression to communicate their points.
