What are the requirements for being an IELTS speaking examiner?

Because there is an IELTS speaking test, candidates need to communicate face to face with the examiner, so it is very necessary to know the examiner. Today, the teacher arranged what conditions should be met as an IELTS speaking examiner.

Because IELTS also has an oral test, candidates must face the examiner, so it is quite necessary to know the IELTS oral examiner. All IELTS examiners must meet the following conditions:

Mother tongue must be English and have experience in teaching foreigners English;

Obtained TEF or TESO certificates, both of which must be issued by Cambridge University and the United States;

Participated in special examiner training and passed the examination of Cambridge University Examination Committee;

Every month, I have to accept the quality spot check of the British Council Examination Department and participate in the qualification re-examination every two years;

Honest and friendly, accurate and fair grading, strict requirements. Not everyone can be an examiner.

So don't worry about the IELTS speaking examiner having a local accent, and don't worry about the seriousness and conservatism of the British examiner. They are also very kind.

Don't take the oral exam too seriously. Just relax。 The key of IELTS speaking test is to examine candidates' English communication ability, not grammar and vocabulary test. For people with poor oral English, there is no need to worry about some grammatical mistakes. Try to say some simple sentence patterns. If you can't answer them, you can ask the examiner to repeat them. Don't panic. For those who have good spoken English, don't try to say some uncommon words, don't use too many subjunctive mood artificially, and don't show off your English in front of the examiner. It is clear how you should know the examiner's mind. In addition, it is inappropriate to pay attention to basic etiquette, befriend the examiner and go forward to shake hands with the examiner. Dress appropriately and generously, boys should not wear vests, and girls' skirts should not be too short.

What needs special reminder is that eyes are also very important. Be sure not to stare at the examiner, and don't look elsewhere at the same time. 85% eye contact is appropriate, and confidence is natural.

Although everyone can say that they are native speakers, middle school students will inevitably feel nervous, but their accent, speaking order and conversation habits (basic etiquette, eye contact) should be kept good, which are the keys to getting high marks in IELTS speaking.
