About Speaking and Presentations
GoConqr OriginalWhat you will find
The unit splits into two broad kinds of material. The first is exam speaking practice. There are flashcard decks for picture comparison, such as Picture Comparison - Eating out and Picture Comparison Free time activities, plus conversation prompts like Family: Discussion Questions and CONVERSATION - EDUCATION. Several decks and slides cover FCE speaking Part 1, B2 Speaking Part 2 and KET speaking preparation. The mind map CAE Speaking Phrases groups language for expressing opinion, agreeing, disagreeing, speculating and building on a partner's ideas.
The second is spoken language study. Discourse - Key Terms for Spontaneous Speech lists terms such as adjacency pairs, hedges, fillers, deixis and minimal responses. The Spoken English mind map covers Grice's Maxims, formal and informal register and hedge terms. Many more decks and maps cover talk theory and spoken discourse.
Where to start
- For exam speaking, open the CAE Speaking Phrases map and learn a few phrases for agreeing and speculating.
- Move to a picture comparison deck and say your answer aloud before turning the card.
- Try the MONOLOGUE PRACTICE - C1 deck, which offers ten topics from consumerism to reality shows, for longer turns.
- For presentations, follow one of the flowcharts on how to give a presentation in English, then read the notes on signposting.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see the whole topic. Then take a quiz to check what stuck. The Spoken language terms quiz suits language students, while the Singposting and Vocal Variety quizzes suit anyone preparing a talk. If a question catches you out, go back to the matching map or deck and try again.
Where it fits
Speaking and Presentations sits in the Communication Skills strand of English language. Most of the material is aimed at school students, so teachers can pick decks and maps for pair work or revision and use the quizzes as quick checks.
Choose one deck or map today and give it a go, then add your own cards for the phrases you want to remember.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start if I have a speaking exam?
Start with the CAE Speaking Phrases mind map for useful language, then work through the picture comparison decks and the FCE speaking Part 1 decks. The page also lists KET speaking preparation and a B2 Speaking Part 2 slide set, so you can pick the one that matches your exam.
What do the spoken language resources cover?
They cover the features of real talk. Discourse - Key Terms for Spontaneous Speech includes adjacency pairs, hedges, fillers and minimal responses. The Spoken English mind map adds Grice's Maxims and formal and informal register. There are also quizzes, notes and many more decks and maps to revise from.
Are there resources for giving presentations?
Yes. There are flowcharts on how to give a presentation in English, mind maps such as Presentations and Handling Q&A Session, notes on signposting and a Vocal Variety quiz. Together they cover structure, delivery and answering questions, so you can plan a talk and then practise it.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account is only needed if you want to save quiz scores or create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams are mentioned?
The listed resources mention FCE, CAE, KET, B1 Preliminary (PET), B2 First, IELTS, TOEFL and Trinity ISE II, along with GCSE English Language and A-level English Language. Check each resource's content to see that it matches your exam board and level.
What if I cannot find the topic I need?
Try a nearby search term, such as spoken language, discourse or speaking Part 1, since similar material is often titled differently. If a gap remains, make your own mind map or flashcard deck from what you have learned. Teachers can do the same for a class.
