Level 2 English

Speaking, Listening and Communicating

What do I need to do?

You will need to prepare for the following 3 activities:

➢ An informal discussion on an unfamiliar topic; 10-15 minutes

➢ A formal presentation/extended explanation on a familiar topic; 5-7 minutes

➢ A discussion in response to another person’s presentation or extended explanation, or a


recorded presentation; 5-7 minutes

Informal discussion on an unfamiliar topic

You will partake in a discussion with at least 2 people about a specific topic to reach a decision
and/or exchange ideas.

You will be expected to ‘listen and respond’ and ‘speak to communicate’.


You will need to ensure you are prepared to take on various roles such as

❑ lead
❑ redirect
❑ question
❑ answer
❑ focus
❑ interject
❑ express opinion
❑ challenge

You cannot just state your opinion.

As a group, you should engage in discussion to establish a shared understanding about the topic,
communicating your own point of view, listening and responding to others.

The discussion topics are

October – December Are food banks really necessary in 2019?

January – March Is climate change fantasy or a fact?

April - June Should cyclists be made to take a test and hold valid insurance to ensure they are
roadworthy?

July – September Should a country impose a limit on the number of children a family can have?

October – December Is veganism a lifestyle choice or a threat to the environment?
