Skills you’ll practise
This course is for
CBSE Class 9 and 10 students preparing for the speaking and listening assessment. CBSE schools assess speaking and listening in Classes 9 and 10 through short, timed oral tasks: a one-minute talk on a given topic, a paired dialogue, listening comprehension answered aloud, and describing a picture. This course trains each task with a frame, a timer and a tutor who plays the examiner or your partner and marks against the band descriptors for fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary and interaction. You learn to open and close a talk, keep going, hold a dialogue and defend an opinion. It ends with a full timed ASL-style assessment with a band for each criterion.
level
You can hold a basic conversation but hesitate, translate in your head, or freeze under pressure. We fix that.
