E10 M - Complete an English communication exam simulation

Einleitung

English first. Understand → respond → analyse → communicate → feedback → revise → transfer.

In diesem aiMOOC simulierst Du eine vollständige Kommunikationsprüfung Englisch für Klasse 10 auf M-Niveau in Baden-Württemberg. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf monologischem Sprechen, dialogischem Sprechen und Sprachmittlung. Das Sprachtraining ist B1-orientiert: Du arbeitest selbstständig, sprichst zusammenhängend, reagierst spontan, begründest Standpunkte und vermittelst Informationen adressatengerecht.

Media warm-up: Look at the image for 20 seconds. Then speak for one minute: What makes communication successful? Use at least three ideas such as clarity, listening, reacting, examples, eye contact, structure or suitable language.

Viewing task: Watch selected parts of the Cambridge B1 speaking example. Do not copy its exam format: it is not the Baden-Württemberg communication exam. Instead, notice transferable skills: extending answers, reacting to another speaker, negotiating and keeping a conversation going.

Offizielle Grundlage – Stand 02.10.2026

Die Simulation orientiert sich an den vom Kultusministerium Baden-Württemberg veröffentlichten zentralen Prüfungsmaßstäben für die Realschulabschlussprüfung 2026/2027 in der Pflichtfremdsprache. Für die Kommunikationsprüfung gelten aktuell folgende Eckpunkte:

Bereich	Aktueller Prüfungsrahmen
Reihenfolge	Monologisches Sprechen → dialogisches Sprechen → Sprachmittlung
Dauer	ungefähr 15 Minuten pro Schülerin bzw. Schüler; die drei Teile haben ungefähr den gleichen zeitlichen Umfang
Prüfung	Einzel- oder Tandemprüfung; individuelle Leistungsfeststellung
Unterbrechung	keine Pause zwischen den drei Prüfungsteilen
Vorbereitung in der Prüfung	keine Vorbereitungszeit für die einzelnen Prüfungsteile
Bewertung	10 Punkte Monolog + 10 Punkte Dialog + 10 Punkte Sprachmittlung = 30 Punkte

Das Schwerpunktthema des Monologs wird von Dir gewählt und mit der Fachlehrkraft abgestimmt. Du sprichst frei und zusammenhängend; Stichworte als Gedankenstütze sind erlaubt. Kurze Rückfragen zum Vortrag sind möglich. Im Dialog sollst Du spontan in einer möglichst realitätsnahen Situation agieren und reagieren. Bei der Sprachmittlung vermittelst Du sinngemäß: Es geht nicht um wortgenaues Übersetzen. Verständlichkeit, Relevanz, Situation und Adressat stehen im Mittelpunkt.

Für die ordentliche Realschulabschlussprüfung 2027 ist die Kommunikationsprüfung in der Pflichtfremdsprache laut Kultusministerium für den Zeitraum 22. Februar bis 2. März 2027 vorgesehen.

I-can-Ziele

Nach dem Kurs kannst Du sagen:

I can present a prepared focus topic in connected, mostly free speech.
I can react spontaneously and keep a discussion going.
I can negotiate options and work towards a shared decision.
I can mediate the relevant meaning between German and English for a clear purpose.
I can repair communication when I do not know a word.
I can speak clearly without trying to imitate a particular accent.
I can evaluate my performance only after the full simulation and revise it strategically.

Sicher und fair arbeiten

Verwende in diesem Kurs nur fiktive Profile, Bewerbungen, Lebensläufe und Personen. Ton- oder Videoaufnahmen sind freiwillig und sollen privat bleiben. Lade keine Aufnahme ungefragt hoch und sende sie nicht automatisch an externe KI-Dienste. Wenn Du KI beim Lernen nutzt, prüfe Angaben und Quellen und bewahre Deine eigene Textfassung. Ziel ist verständliche Kommunikation, nicht Akzentfreiheit oder die Nachahmung kultureller Klischees.

Vorwissen aktivieren

Answer in English. Do not translate the whole prompt.

Quick check	Your short response
What helps you structure a short talk?	introduction – main points – conclusion
How can you disagree politely?	use a softener, give a reason, respond to the other idea
What can you do if a word is missing?	paraphrase, describe, give an example
What is mediation?	pass on the relevant meaning for a person and purpose

30-second challenge: Explain the difference between translation and mediation in your own English words.

Listening and Viewing

Listen for interaction, not perfection. While watching, note three moments when a speaker:

extends an answer with a reason or example;
reacts to another person;
keeps speaking after a hesitation.

Natural-speed listening: Listen for connected speech and reduced forms. Your goal is not to copy an accent. Identify the key message even when individual words blend together.

Reading: Know the task before you speak

Read this compact exam map once, then close it and explain it orally.

Part	Main communication goal	What matters
Monologue	present a self-prepared focus topic	structure, information density, clear media use, free speech, suitable vocabulary, fluency
Dialogue	act and react spontaneously	understand the situation, include the partner, maintain interaction, use connected language
Mediation	convey meaning between German and English	relevant information, purpose, audience, intercultural appropriateness, compensation strategies, intelligibility

Reading check: Which part requires a prepared focus topic? Which part is explicitly spontaneous? Which part is not a word-for-word translation?

Context vocabulary

Use phrases because they serve a function. Do not memorise long scripts.

Function	Useful English
Structure a talk	I’d like to focus on… / My first point is… / To sum up…
Add evidence	For example… / This shows that… / A useful example is…
Give an opinion	From my point of view… / I would argue that…
Invite a response	What do you think? / Would you agree with that?
Build on an idea	That’s a good point, and I’d add…
Disagree politely	I see your point, but… / I’m not fully convinced because…
Negotiate	Could we combine these two ideas? / What if we…?
Reach agreement	So, shall we go with…? / That seems like the best compromise.
Repair communication	What I mean is… / Let me put it another way…
Mediate	The main point is that… / They need to know whether… / In this situation, it means…

Pronunciation for intelligibility

You do not need an accent-free performance. Aim for clear word stress, useful pauses, sentence stress and understandable intonation.

Try this rhythm drill aloud:

The MAIN point is…
I AGREE with part of that, BUT…
Could we COMBINE the two ideas?
What I MEAN is…

Record yourself only if you want to. A private recording is enough. Listen once for clarity, not for accent imitation.

Functional grammar for communication

Grammar is useful when it helps you do something.

Purpose	Functional grammar	Example
suggest	could / might / why don’t we	We could run a lunchtime workshop.
compare	comparative forms	The podcast is cheaper, but the workshop is more interactive.
negotiate consequences	first conditional	If we choose the workshop, more students can take part.
speculate carefully	might / may / could	This might attract younger students.
justify	because / since / the reason is	I prefer the guide because it has a clear purpose.
connect ideas	although / however / therefore	It is expensive; however, it could have a lasting effect.

Micro-task: Give one suggestion, one comparison, one conditional sentence and one polite disagreement about a school event.

Speaking toolkit

Monologue: a five-part mental map

Use keywords, not a full script.

Open: name your focus and why it matters.
Frame: tell the listener what you will cover.
Develop: explain two or three strong points with examples.
Connect: link details to a wider issue, experience or source.
Close: summarise the main message clearly.

A useful presentation is not a memorised text. If you forget a sentence, keep the idea and say it differently.

Dialogue: react, build, negotiate

A strong contribution does more than state an opinion. Use this cycle:

listen → react → add → ask → negotiate → decide

Example: I see why you prefer the workshop. It would be interactive. I’m worried about the cost, though. Could we run one smaller workshop and use the rest for the bilingual guide? What do you think?

Mediation: meaning before wording

Use this mental filter:

Who needs what information, for what purpose, right now?

Do not carry every word across. Select what matters, adjust it to the listener and keep the situation moving. If one word is missing, describe it. If a speaker gives irrelevant detail, you do not need to transfer all of it.

Writing bridge

Speaking and writing share planning, audience awareness and clear organisation. Before the simulation, write only a keyword plan, not a speech.

After the simulation, transfer one idea into a short written form:

Formal email: ask a fictional youth centre for information about an English-language workshop.
Informal email: explain the agreed plan to a fictional exchange partner.
Application / CV: create a fictional profile for a student volunteer role.
Report or article: report on the fictional school communication project.
Opinion text: state a view and refer to a named, checked source.

Keep all names, organisations and applications fictional.

Hilfen vor der Simulation

Use these supports before you start. Once the simulation begins, close them.

Problem	One useful strategy
I need more time.	Let me think for a moment. Then continue.
I do not know a word.	Describe its function, appearance or use.
I did not understand.	Ask once: Could you repeat that, please?
My partner dominates.	Can I add something here?
We disagree.	Summarise both ideas, then suggest a compromise.
I lose my structure.	Return to one keyword and state the next main point.

Complete exam simulation

Important: No feedback, correction or coaching during Parts A–C. Finish all three parts first. A partner, teacher or examiner should take silent notes only. If you work alone, use a timer and respond aloud. Optional recordings remain private.

Timing: approximately 15 minutes per learner. Aim at roughly equal speaking time across the three parts. In a tandem simulation, the shared dialogue naturally takes longer overall because both learners contribute.

Part A – Monological speaking

Time: about 5 minutes per learner. No preparation time now.

Use the focus topic you prepared earlier and agreed with your teacher. If this is only a training run and you do not yet have one, use the fictional practice focus:

Practice focus: “How can a school help teenagers communicate confidently in English outside normal lessons?”

Your task:

Present the topic in connected, mostly free speech.
Use keywords only as prompts.
Develop two or three clear aspects.
Include at least one concrete example.
Use one visual only if it genuinely helps understanding.
Be ready for one or two short follow-up questions.

Possible examiner follow-up questions for the fictional practice focus:

Which idea would be easiest to start next month, and why?
What could make students reluctant to take part?
How would you know whether the project was successful?

Do not answer these questions in writing first.

Part B – Dialogical speaking

Time: about 5 minutes per learner contribution. No preparation time.

Situation: You and another student are on the planning team at the fictional Northbridge Secondary School. The school has a budget of €600 for one English Communication Week project. You must discuss the options and agree on a recommendation.

Option	Short information
lunchtime conversation café	low cost; easy to repeat; needs student volunteers
podcast recording day	creative; produces a lasting result; needs equipment and planning
guest workshop	expert input; interactive; uses most of the budget
bilingual school guide	useful for visitors; practical mediation; less live speaking
mini debate festival	lots of spontaneous speaking; needs confident moderators

Your job: discuss advantages and disadvantages, respond directly to your partner, compare priorities, make suggestions, challenge at least one idea politely and reach one shared recommendation.

Examiner role: do not correct language. Only intervene if communication stops completely.

Part C – Mediation

Time: about 5 minutes. No preparation time.

Fictional situation: A German-speaking student, Lena Weber, wants to join a weekend media workshop at the fictional Riverside Youth Hub. The English-speaking coordinator, Sam Carter, needs information from Lena and gives practical instructions. You mediate orally between them.

Learner rule: Do not translate every word. Pass on what is relevant for the person and purpose.

Partner / examiner card – read one turn at a time:

Speaker	Turn
Lena – German	„Kannst du fragen, ob ich am Samstag noch teilnehmen kann? Ich bin 16 und habe schon einmal einen kleinen Podcast für die Schule gemacht.“
Sam – English	Yes, there are two places left. The workshop starts at 9:30, but everyone should arrive fifteen minutes early to set up the equipment.
Lena – German	„Ich komme mit dem Bus. Falls er Verspätung hat: Muss ich dann anrufen? Und brauche ich meinen eigenen Laptop?“
Sam – English	If she is more than ten minutes late, please ask her to call us. She does not need a laptop, but headphones would be useful if she has a pair.
Lena – German	„Gut. Ich habe Kopfhörer. Außerdem bin ich Vegetarierin. Ist das Mittagessen im Preis enthalten?“
Sam – English	Lunch is included. We have a vegetarian option, but we need to know about allergies before Friday afternoon.

Finish the situation naturally. You may ask for one turn to be repeated if needed.

Feedback – erst nach Part C öffnen

STOP: Open this section only after all three parts are finished.

The official framework allocates 10 points to each part.

Part	Official focus	Self/peer questions after the run
Monologue – 10	5 points content/presentation + 5 points language	Was the talk informative, clearly structured and supported by useful media? Was it mostly free, fluent and lexically appropriate?
Dialogue – 10	5 points situation/reaction + 5 points language	Did the learner understand the situation, react, include the partner and maintain the exchange? Was the language connected, fluent and suitable?
Mediation – 10	successful bilingual mediation	Were the relevant details transferred promptly, appropriately and understandably? Were compensation strategies used when needed?

Feedback protocol:

First say what the listener could understand clearly.
Then identify one communication strength in each part.
Then identify one high-impact improvement in each part.
Give evidence from the performance, not labels about the person.
Do not penalise a recognisable accent by itself; focus on intelligibility and communicative success.
Choose only two priorities for the next run.

Useful feedback language: Your main message was clear because… The conversation moved forward when you… The mediation worked because you selected… Next time, make the structure clearer by… A useful repair strategy would be…

Fehleranalyse

Sort errors by impact.

Type	Question	Response
Communication-blocking	Did the listener misunderstand or did the exchange stop?	Repair and practise this first.
Meaning-changing	Did grammar or vocabulary change the intended message?	Correct the pattern and reuse it in a new sentence.
Noticeable but understandable	Was the message still clear?	Improve it later; do not let it stop fluency.
Accent difference	Was the speech understandable?	No need to imitate another accent.

Revision task: Choose one 30–60 second section from your performance. Say it again with one improvement only: clearer structure, stronger interaction, better mediation choice or more intelligible phrasing.

Transfer

Use the same communication strategies in new contexts.

Negotiate: Two fictional students must choose between a school podcast, a debate club and an international online meeting.
Present: Explain a checked source about a topic from your English course without reading full sentences.
Mediate: Help a fictional German visitor understand English instructions for a youth event and pass a German question back.
Apply: Turn your spoken strengths into a fictional formal email and short CV profile.
Source check: Compare a claim from an AI tool with an official or reliable source before using it in a presentation.
