AssessorThe English Speaking Board - Liverpool, Соединенное КоролевствоI assess the speaking and listening skills of children and young people in schools and colleges. These children range from the age of 5 up to 18 years. I travel to the school and watch them perform practiced speaking and listening pieces (poems, prose, speeches, debates, book readings). I then assess their ability against a set criteria, write individual reports, and decide if they have passed or failed. The English Speaking Board is a British examining board for Speaking and Listening skills.
