No 8680, Conference Papers from Graduate School of Management, St. Petersburg State University

Abstract: The research deals with linking the speaking component to CEFR levels and provides tools for estimating the difficulty of oral tasks. The subject-specific course "Academic Communication Skills in English" (2d year, the GSOM) is at the focus of attention. The research includes: the course programme analysis with the aim to link its components to CEFR levels; collecting data on the tasks difficulty from students' perspective; bringing together the linkage results and the students' perspective. The systematic approach to linking oral tasks at all levels ensures the GSOM educational programmes consistency. The research is in progress.
