This booklet has been composed to assist with the preparation of learners for the 
LanguageCert 
International ESOL Speaking 
exams. It aims to familiarise teachers with the tasks featured in these 
exams, to recommend teaching strategies and speaking activities, and to share some tips from our team 
of expert marking examiners. It also includes three papers that are of the exact same format as the
exam papers used by LanguageCert Interlocutors to conduct o
ffi
cial speaking exams.
All activities, course books, methodologies and strategies used to enhance learners’ 
fl
uency and to 
improve their accuracy will be just as e
ff
ective in preparing them for the LanguageCert speaking exams. 
The 
communicative 
nature of the exam together with the 
consistency 
of the structure of the test 
throughout the six CEFR levels allows teachers to dedicate minimum teaching time to teach to the test 
while at the same time makes preparing for the exam an integral part of the learning process with 
distinctively 
positive washback
.
