Assessment

2 marks:

1. Job interview (50%) (video)/ Groups of 2:

Brief: you are either conducting a job interview or you are the candidate. It is a fairly classic job interview, until the interviewer asks the interviewee about his/her ability to demonstrate how he/she handles a difficult situation. So you need to:

1. Prepare the classic part of the job interview
2. Think of a difficult situation you will describe to the interviewee, in order to assess how he/she can deal with it
3. Prepare to demonstrate how you could handle this given situation (as the applicant) -> Obviously here, we are cheating: in real life, you would not know about the situation!

Both of you will be acting as an interviewer and an interviewee. So your video will be in 2 parts.

Please send your video for seminar 5.

2. Question to be defined: presentation, in class, seminar 8 (50%)

Please note you will be able to start working on this assignment only in seminar 7.

Training exercise: REMEMBER! yes, you can improve your accent!

How about trying to repeat word for word what natives say? This will definitely help. Use the transcription tool to read as the person explains things all along… then it will be your turn to speak.
