IELTS Speaking
Signposting Language–Speaking Part 3
Teacher’snotes
Aim:
Better able to use a range of discourse markers / connectives (Assessment
Criteria –Fluency and Coherence) when answering typical speaking part 3 style
questions (e.g. speculate,compare, agree/ disagree).
Instructions
1.
Write the words belowon the board. Tell Ss that in speaking part 3, you’re often asked to do
one or more of these things. Check Ssunderstand speculate (= make guesses about something).
∑compare
∑comment on
∑speculate
∑explain
∑agree or disagree
Tell Ss you’re going to answer a part 3 question. Can they tell which of the above you are doing?
Say:“We eat unhealthy food and don’t get enough exercise. A lot ofpeople can’t control their
weight.”
Ss probably won’t be able to tell you which of the above you are doingor you’ll get a variety of
answers. Tell them to listen again, but you’ll change it slightly.
Say: “I think it’s because we eat unhealthy food and don’t get enough exercise. That’s the main
reason thata lot of people can’t control their weight.”
Ss should identify that you are explaining. Ask why it was easier the secondtime (because you
used signposting words–it’s because…, that’s the main reason that…)
Tell Ss that signposting helps the listener follow your message. They’re going to look at
signposting answers in part 3 of the speaking test.
2. Hand out worksheet 1. Ss skim read the candidates’answers. Elicit the topic (qu1)
= food.
3. Ss in pairs match a function to a candidate’s answer (worksheet 1, qu2)–feed back.
4. Ss complete ex 3 +4on worksheet 1. Feed back by going through each speech bubble in turn
(e.g. InA,which phrases does he use to agree or disagree? To talk about past and present?etc)
5. Sswork in pairs to write down what they think the four questions were. Hand out worksheet 2 so
they can check how close their suggestions were.
6. Ss write the signposting language onto the table and try to add phrases of their own. Feedback
onto the board and check / rephrase any expressions Sssupply.
7. Put Ss in pairs to roleplay candidate / examiner. They ask / answer the questions fromthe top of
worksheet2. ‘Examiner’ should give feedback about how well they used signposting language.
Alternative suggestion/ follow up
At stage 7, instead of answering the same questions, you could ask Ss to suggest a topic (e.g.
transport, the environment, animals, careers, etc). They then write questions which require
answers which speculate, agree / disagree, explain, interview each other using their
questions.

ANSWER KEY -
Signposting Language –Speaking Part 3
Worksheet 1
was the topic?–Food
e two things C(and A to some extent –comparing past and present)
comment on the past and present A
speculate about the future D
explain / give reasons for something B
agree or disagree with a statement A
3 and 4 (phrases to introduce opinion in bold)
ANo, I’m not sure I entirely agreewith that because nowadayssupermarkets tend to be located quite
far away from residential areas. So if you haven’t got a car, I think it would be really difficult to do your food
shopping. In the past, you could walk to a local shop in your village. These daysmost of them have closed
down as a result of supermarkets taking their trade away…
BIn my opinion, the main reason forthe popularity of fast food is becauseit’s so convenient. We’re
so readily tempted to a burger or a pizza becausethey’re veryeasy to get hold of. You also see ads
everywhere for fast food. And it always looks delicious so you think…’Mmm…actually a burger would be
nice’…
CWell, I supposethere are many differences, but I think the main one isthat you tend to expect
something more special…and probably less healthy, when you eat in a restaurant. Whereaswhen you eat at
home, you’ve cooked it yourself so, unless you’re a chef, it’ll probably be less interesting, but not as
unhealthy…
DI really believe that in the future, we’lleat very different types of food. Firstly, I thinkpeople will
definitelystop eating genetically modified food –it’s got to be really bad for you. I doubt thatpeople willjust
eat pills –eating is too pleasurable. IfGM foods becomeless popular, I actually think that we mightstart to
value healthy, tasty, natural food…
