E9 G - Practise an exam-style conversation with AI

Mini-Beschreibung: Practise short exam-style conversations, presentation questions and mediation prompts with AI. Ask for E9-G-level language and feedback after the task. The goal is clear communication, not perfect English.

Target: English as a first foreign language, Year 9, G level, Baden-Württemberg.

Learning path: English first → understand → respond → ask → hint → improve → use again.

Privacy first: Use fictional names, profiles and application data. Do not enter your real address, phone number, school details, private social-media data or passwords. Recordings are optional and private. Do not upload them without clear permission. Use only a school-approved AI tool if your class allows it.

Einleitung

You can use AI as a practice partner. It can play an examiner, ask short questions and give feedback. You stay in control: keep your own first version, check AI facts and feedback, and decide what you want to improve.

Important: Ask the AI to wait until the task is finished before giving feedback. Communication comes first. A clear accent is enough; you do not need to sound like a native speaker.

I-can-Ziele

I can understand short exam questions in clear English.
I can respond with short connected answers and reasons.
I can ask for repetition or clarification.
I can give a short presentation and answer follow-up questions.
I can mediate key information from German into simple English.
I can improve my answer after feedback and try it again.

Vorwissen

Before you start, try these useful chunks aloud:

Function	Useful English
Give an opinion	I think ... because ...
Ask again	Could you repeat the question, please?
Check meaning	Do you mean ...?
Add a reason	One reason is ...
React	I agree. / I am not sure about that.
Gain time	Let me think for a moment.

Listening and Viewing

First viewing: no transcript. Watch a short part and focus on the situation, the speakers and the type of questions. Do not try to understand every word.

Task 1 – understand: Watch about the first two minutes once. Write three key words only.

Task 2 – respond: Pause after one examiner question. Give your own short answer.

Task 3 – use again: Watch the same part again. This time, notice how the candidates react and continue speaking.

Transcript rule: Use subtitles or a transcript only after your first listening attempt.

Second viewing: conversation and interaction

Watch a short interaction. Listen for:

a direct answer,
a reason,
a reaction to the other speaker,
a question or suggestion.

The video is a model for speaking practice. Your school task can be shorter and simpler.

Reading: exam card

Fictional task card

You are talking to an examiner about school life.

Examiner: What do you like doing after school?

Examiner: Tell me about a good day at school.

Examiner: Which school activity would you recommend to a new student? Why?

Your goal: Give two or three sentences per answer. Add one reason. Ask for help if you do not understand.

Context vocabulary

Topic	Words and chunks
School	subject, lesson, break, project, club, timetable
Free time	meet friends, play, watch, practise, relax
Opinion	I think, in my view, for me, because
Interaction	really, I see, good idea, maybe, what about you
Presentation	first, next, another point, finally
Mediation	the main point is, it says that, you need to know

Use words you know well. A simple correct sentence is better than a difficult sentence you cannot control.

Pronunciation and fluency

Practise in thought groups, not word by word:

I think / the school club is useful / because you can meet people.

Focus on:

clear key words,
small pauses,
complete ideas,
understandable speech.

Do not stop for every small grammar mistake.

Speaking: AI exam simulation

Use a fictional profile only.

Fictional profile	Information
Name	Jamie
Age	15
Interests	cycling, music, school media club
Future idea	a short work-experience week in a local shop

AI prompt:

Act as a friendly English examiner for Year 9, G level, Baden-Württemberg.
Use E9-G-level language: frequent words, short clear questions and moderate speed.
Ask one question at a time.
Use this fictional profile only: Jamie, 15, likes cycling, music and the school media club.
Do not ask for real personal data.
Do not correct me while I am answering.
If I get stuck, first repeat or simplify the question. Then give one short hint.
After the complete task, give short feedback on:
1. task completion,
2. interaction,
3. clear language,
4. one grammar point to improve.
Then ask me to try one answer again.

Conversation cycle: understand → respond → ask → hint → improve → use again.

Short exam round

Round A – conversation

AI asks 4 short questions about school, free time or plans.

Your answer:

2–3 connected sentences,
one reason,
one reaction or follow-up question during the round.

Round B – presentation

Speak for about 45–60 seconds about: A school activity I would recommend.

Then the AI asks two short presentation questions.

Help levels

Level	Help
Help 1	Repeat the question.
Help 2	Use easier words.
Help 3	Give me three key words, not a full answer.
Help 4	Give me a sentence starter.

Use the smallest help you need.

Mediation

Do not translate every word. Give the important information in simple English.

German prompt:

Der Jugendtreff ist am Freitag von 16 bis 20 Uhr geöffnet. Der Eintritt ist kostenlos. Jugendliche können Brettspiele spielen, Musik machen oder an einem kleinen Kochkurs teilnehmen. Für den Kochkurs muss man sich bis Donnerstag anmelden.

Situation: Your English-speaking exchange partner asks what they need to know.

Your task: Give 3–4 key points in English. Then answer one follow-up question.

Possible start: The youth centre is open on Friday. The main point is ...

Writing

After the speaking task, choose one short follow-up.

Text type	Task	Length
Email	Invite a fictional exchange partner to a school activity.	70–90 words
Opinion text	Is AI practice useful for speaking?	80–100 words
Short report	What helped you during the simulation?	70–90 words
Job-related text	Write a short fictional work-experience message.	70–90 words

Use a clear beginning, middle and ending. Keep your first version before you revise it.

Functional grammar

Communication first. Focus on a few useful accuracy goals.

Goal	Example
Question forms	Could you repeat the question?
Reasons with because	I like the club because it is friendly.
Modal verbs	We could meet after school.
Past events	Last week we worked on a project.
Future plans	I am going to join the club next term.

Do not try to fix everything at once.

Feedback after the task

Ask for feedback after the whole round.

Check	Question
Task	Did I answer the question?
Interaction	Did I react or ask something?
Clarity	Was my main message easy to understand?
Accuracy	What is one important language point to improve?
Next try	Which answer should I repeat now?

Check AI feedback. If a correction looks strange, compare it with your class notes, textbook or teacher feedback.

Fehleranalyse

Problem	Better strategy
Very short answer	Add one reason with because.
You do not understand	Ask for repetition or easier words.
Long pause	Use Let me think for a moment.
Grammar blocks speaking	Finish the message first. Correct one key point later.
AI gives too much help	Ask for key words only.

Transfer

Use the same cycle with a partner, without AI:

question → answer → reaction → follow-up → feedback → second try

Can-do-Check

I can ...	Yes	Not yet
answer a short exam question with a reason	□	□
ask for repetition	□	□
react to another speaker	□	□
speak for about 45–60 seconds with a clear structure	□	□
