 of letter such as a letter of transfer or discharge. Along with the task instructions, you will receive stimulus material (case notes and/or other related documentation) which includes information to use in your response. Speaking sub-test The Speaking sub-test consists of two profession specific role-plays and is delivered individually. It takes around 20 minutes to complete. In each role-play, you take your professional role (for example, as a nurse or as a pharmacist) while the interlocutor plays a patient, a client, or a patient’s relative or carer. For veterinary science, the interlocutor is the owner or carer of the animal. The Speaking sub-test has the following structure: In each Speaking test, your identity and profession are checked by the interlocutor and there is a short warm-up conversation about your professional background. Then the role-plays are introduced one by one and you have 3 minutes to prepare for each. The role-plays take about five minutes each. You receive information for each role-play on a card that you keep while you do the role-play. The card explains the situation and what you are required to do. You may write notes on the card if you want. If you have any questions about the content of the role-play or how a role-play works, you can ask them during the preparation time. The role-plays are based on typical workplace situations and reflect the demands made on a health professional in those situations. The interlocutor follows a script so that the Speaking test structure is similar for each candidate. The interlocutor also has detailed information to use in each role-play. Different role-plays are used for different candidates at the same test administration. © Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment ROLEPLAYER CARD OET © Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment CANDIDATE CARD OET Sample role-play NO. 2 PODIATRY Podiatry Clinic PATIENT You have developed a very rough, hard surface on your right big toe.
