AS Oral for AQA

The format of the oral is as follows:

20 Mins preparation time
You will receive two stimulus cards for Part 1. Choose 1 and prepare your answers
for it. *HINT* Choose the one that is probably easiest to answer with a prompt,
rather than one you will panic about without a prompt!
Part 1 - Discussion of stimulus card. (5 mins)
There will be 5 questions on your card. You will answer these in the first 2.5 mins. Then
your teacher, having made notes on your answers, will discuss the topic further with you.
This will be on a sub-topic, but once used, you will not use that main
topic again in the test


Part 2 - Conversation (10 mins)

a) Nominated Topic (4 mins). You will be able to bring in a prompt card containing up to 5 short headings (no full sentences or conjugated verbs). A copy must be given to the teacher before the test. You can put a statistic on the prompt card. The teacher can help you produce your prompt card in advance; you can practise it, but not rehearse. This will be on a DIFFERENT Main Topic to your Stimulus card. Your Teacher will make sure of this, so don't worry!

b) Further discussion (6 mins)

You will now discuss the remaining 2 Main Topics with your teacher. Each topic will last 3 mins. Your teacher will ask you questions on these topics, and will try to get the absolute best out of you linguistically.

Don't forget to Use comparisons and all the tenses you can manage, AND give your opinion and JUSTIFY it!


Bonne chance!
