Revise CIE IGCSE English Language 7.3.7 Timing and sustaining the conversation with the worksheets, lessons, revision guides, flashcards, and answer marking.
The teacher/examiner should normally allow 7-8 minutes for each candidate. If a candidate 'dries up' after a few minutes, teachers/examiners should be ready to explore another aspect of the topic or theme; they should keep trying to make conversation so that the candidate is given every opportunity to demonstrate their ability. Questions should be rephrased (rather than repeated) in an attempt to continue the dialogue.
