- show interest in what your partner says
- ask questions; answer your partner´s/the examiner´s questions
- interact with your partner and/or the examiner throughout the exam
- move the conversation forward (develop the discussion)
- take control together and keep the conversation going
- come to a conclusion of some sort
- use eye contact in a good conversation
- use body language to encourage your partner
- the communication should be interactive
- be resourceful in your use of language
- show an ability to extend when it is possible
- don´t get stuck, paraphrase if the word does not come (don´t spend time struggling)
- find a way of expressing yourself
- balance fluency and accuracy
- monitor what you say as well, be accurate
- put preparation into good use; study before the exam
- be able to overcome nerves (this can influence your performance)
- practise sufficiently before the exam using a stopwatch (so that you have a feeling for how long a minute is:)
- make sure you can maintain your flow long enough (e.g. be able to speak for 2 minutes non-stop) so that you don´t stop too early
- probably the more prepared you are, the more relaxed you are
- make sure you know the format of the test (types of tasks)
- don´t be put off when the examiner interrupts you because of the timing
- preparation is KEY
