モックテスト 2(Second Edition)

Two young women talking in an office

Some interviewers may interrupt you

G.B.C. テストで役立つ最良の文法、議論、流暢さ、デリバリーを学習します 。長時間の停止は避けましょう。

Introduction

In order to simulate a variety of G.B.C. test situations, your teacher will interrupt you during your answer. Do your best to stay focused, even when you are interrupted. 

Each test has a different style. This is an interrupting-type lesson

Student goal:
Speak smoothly, without long pauses. 

Long pauses can be an invitation for the interviewer or the other speaker to interrupt you.

Teacher style:
Cut in with questions relatively often. 
Be nice! If your student is stressed, back off. 

Warn your student that you’ll interrupt them once in a while to ask them related follow-ups (clarify when, why or how), or abruptly move on to the next question.

General guidelines

  • No need to try and win an Oscar. Just do your best to change your style.
  • Typically ask 3-5 questions in a burst, then give feedback. There should only be about 3 feedback sessions during a mock-test, unless you see a benefit of more or fewer.
  • Make up your own follow-up questions based on student answers. 
  • During feedback, pay special attention to the goal of the class. 

Ask the questions below; skip the ones you feel don't suit the lesson or the level. 

Remind your student that they need to relax and answer the questions as they would in business situations. 

Student-specific goal

Ideally, establish a customized goal for your student. View the most recent G.B.C. score sheet and find a low score that you can teach to. Otherwise, you can use the default—avoiding long pauses. 

For example in Fluency: speaking smoothly and filling pauses.

  • Basically, slow down. Don't rush-and-pause, rush-and-pause.
