Incorporating 9 speaking criteria will assure you a top grade in OET speaking test. Watch this video to get a comprehensive idea on OET criteria.
Your performance on each of the two Speaking role-plays is scored against nine criteria and receives a band score for each criterion. The nine criteria are separated into two different segments: Linguistic and Clinical Communicative.
LINGUISTIC CRITERIA:
1. Intelligibility: The impact of your pronunciation, intonation and accent on how clearly your listener can hear and understand what you’re saying
2. Fluency: The impact of the speed and smoothness of your speech on your listener’s understanding
3. Appropriateness of Language: The impact of your language, tone and professionalism on your listener’s understanding and comfort
4. Resources of Grammar and Expression: The impact of your level of grammatical accuracy and vocabulary choices on your listener’s understanding
CLINICAL COMMUNICATION CRITERIA:
5. Relationship-building: The impact of your choice of opening to the conversation and demonstration of empathy and respect on your listener’s comfort
6. Information-gathering: The impact of the type of questions you ask and how you listen to the responses on your listener’s understanding
7. Information-giving: The impact of how you provide information and check this information is being understood on your listener’s comfort and understanding.
8. Understanding and incorporating the patient’s perspective: The impact of how fully you involve the patient in the conversation on your listener’s understanding and comfort
9. Providing structure: The impact of how you organise the information you provide and introduce new topics for discussion on your listener’s understanding
Make sure to incorporate these 9 criteria into your speaking, so that you could score a high grade.
