These materials may not be altered or reproduced, stored in any retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic,
electrical, chemical, optical, photocopying, recording or otherwise without the prior permission of the copyright owner.
LOCATION: a quiet place in the school.
DURATION: 5−8 minutes.
PARTICIPANTS: two candidates; assessor; usher.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
A There are 14 word strips supplied − four words on each strip, one of which is
the odd-one-out, OR the examiner may bring solid objects with which to
conduct all or some of this part of the test. The word strips should be cut out
on the dotted lines.
B Pictures supplied.
RECORDING: the examination is to be recorded as an MP3. The recording

is sent to Anglia Examinations, Chichester College, for moderation.
Before the candidates have entered the room, record their full names and
numbers clearly onto the MP3. (This can be done while the candidates are in the
room, but be careful if you record their names and then immediately ask them
again what their names are. At this age, they will realise there is no information
gap, wonder why you are asking again, and may not want to role-play just for the
test.)
After the examination, the usher should ensure that the candidates do not return
to the area where candidates yet to take the test are still waiting.
Task 1: Introduction, 1−2 minutes. Introductory warm-up
The assessor welcomes and reassures the candidates. It is recommended you say,
‘Hello. My name is xxxxx. This is the Primary Speaking test. Are you OK? Good,
let’s begin.’
The assessor encourages the candidates to introduce themselves. If the candidate

has clearly prepared a short introduction and sets off to recite it, allow him/her to
go through it and ask a question at the end. Be prepared to kindly interrupt if this
goes on for too long. Otherwise, conduct the introduction with two or three
simple, specific question prompts from the following:
Anglia Examinations Primary Speaking Test Instructions for Assessors Document 3

 Name (What is your name?)
 What is your Anglia number?
 Age (How old are you?)
 Family (How many people are there in your family? How old is your brother?
Have you got a sister? What is her name?)
 Pets (Have you got a pet? What is its name?)
 ‘Favourite’ food, colour, animal, etc. (What is your favourite food? Do you
like tomatoes?)
Task 2: 2 minutes maximum.
 The assessor shows the candidates one of the word sets, says all four words
aloud and then asks which is the odd-one-out/different one, and why.
 The assessor shows several sets of these to the candidates and asks them in
turn to:
- say each of the four words aloud.
- say which is the odd-one-out, and why.
The assessor says,
‘I have some words here. There are four words on each piece of paper. Three of
the words go together. One word is different. Which word is different and why?
Here is an example. ‘Cat, dog, cake, fish. The cake is the odd–one–out/different
word because it’s food. It’s not an animal.’
‘Now, [<name>]. Can you read these words, please? Which is the odd-one-out/
different one? Why?’
Task 3: 3 minutes maximum.
The assessor has the pictures face down on the table. The candidate picks one.
The assessor says,
‘Now, [<name>]. There are two pictures on the table. Which picture do you want?’
Each candidate picks one.
The assessor points to some objects and actions for the candidates to name in
turn. Taking turns, the candidates find some more. Each of the candidates may
pick another card or stay with the first, according to how well it is going.

e.g.
A: OK, [<name>]. Now, where is the picture? (points to whole picture)

C: A town.
A: Good. It’s in a town. What is this boy doing?
C: [He’s] reading.
A: Thank you. What’s this? (points to dog)
C: It’s …..um……..um…..
A: Is it a cat?
C: No. …..um….
A: It’s a dog. Now, what is the dog doing?
C: It’s running.
A: Good. How many people can you see in the picture?
C: I can see six people.
A: Thank you. What other things can you see in the picture?
If the candidate does not produce the right answer, the assessor gives it. The
assessor should not emphasise the fact that a candidate fails to produce the right
answer. Then the assessor goes on with the test and asks the next question.
Task 3a: Optional Extension (where appropriate) 2−3 minutes maximum.
The assessor may ask any or all of the children to perform a chant, rhyme, song or
poem they know.
When the test is over, thank the candidates and say, ‘Goodbye’.
NB
This is not a compulsory word-for-word script but a strong recommendation for

how the test should be conducted. If circumstances mean that the words should be
slightly changed to get the best from the candidate, as an assessor you have the
right to do this. Conversations often do not run exactly as planned and some
flexibility is allowed to keep the test as stress-free and natural as possible. The
Anglia Examinations moderators will take account of this when monitoring the
recording.
However, remember to keep all meta-language very simple. Name the candidate
frequently. Do not be tempted to chat or add extra information about yourself, for
example. This confuses the candidate and takes valuable testing time.
