Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language
The Speaking Test for Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language (0510 /0511) requires candidates to respond to a range of speaking tasks. Before the test period, we send Centres a range of Speaking test materials (Speaking Cards and Teacher’s/Examiner’s Notes). The examiner, and not the candidate, selects the assessment material.
The test consists of:
- Introduction: a welcome and an explanation of the format of the test
- Warm-up: a non-assessed 'warm-up' conversation (approximately 1-2 minutes)
- Part 1: an interview (2-3 minutes)
- Part 2: a short talk (3-4 minutes)
- Part 3: a discussion (3-4 minutes)
The total duration of the Speaking test, from the beginning of the introduction to the end of Part 3, should be 10–15 minutes and recorded in full.
