Students are divided into groups of 3-4 and assigned roles of Candidate A, B, C, or D. They complete two tasks: an individual 2-minute presentation where they present points on a topic to the group, and a 10-minute group discussion where they discuss the points, reach a consensus, and conclude with the best option. For the presentation, students have 2 minutes to prepare and present while the others take notes. A 2-minute preparation period follows before the group discussion where they discuss the points and try to reach an agreement within 10 minutes.

2. Method
 Students are divided into groups
of four (4).
 If cannot get complete groups of
four, minimum 3 students in a
group. But minimize number of
groups.
 Eg. In a class of 29 students:
 5 groups x 4 students = 20
students
 3 groups x 3 students = 9
students

3. Method…cont.
 The students are “labelled” as
Candidate A, Candidate B,
Candidate C and Candidate D.
 Students need to complete 2
tasks:
 Task A – Individual Presentation
 Task B – Group Discussion

4. Task A Individual Presentation
 Students are given their task
sheets.
 They read the situation given.
 If they do not understand the
meaning of any word, they can ask
the examiner(s).
 They are given 2 minutes to prepare
their points.
 They are given 2 minutes to present
their points.

5. Task A…cont.
 While a candidate is presenting
his/her points, the other
candidates jot down the points.
 They use these points for the
Group Discussion.
 When Candidate D has finished
presenting his/her points, 2
minutes is given to prepare for
Task B.

6. Task B Group Discussion
 Candidates are not allowed to
discuss during the 2-minute
preparation.
 Any candidate can start the
discussion.
 A consensus/conclusion has to
be reached within the 10
minutes of discussion.
 They are to conclude on the BEST
option.

7. Task B Tips
 Before the Speaking Task starts,
candidates can strategize for
Group Discussion.
 Out of the 4 candidates, each
may volunteer to:
 start the discussion
 conclude the discussion
 be the time keeper
 The time keeper signals the
other candidates on the timing
to conclude the discussion.
