1. Do you think the content and tasks in this test are appropriate for English Language teachers? Why or why not?
Frankly speaking, I was impressed by the test you made. It is application form of TOEIC speaking test that we already took last week, but it contains distinctive contents more relevant to qualification of English language teachers. So, I think this test is appropriate for assessing English teacher's speaking ability. In addition, it requires more deep comprehension about students from teachers, which is important point for becoming a teacher. At the same time, it also expects future teachers to have professional knowledge and good situation-handling ability. Considering this, I think we need this kind of test for appreciating teacher's speaking ability rather than current system.
2. If this were a formal/real test you needed to take in order to get English teaching qualifications or employment, how would you prepare for each section?
As you know, this test is some question types like other tests as well, so, I think, it is possible to prepare it properly. First, to prepare not only the section A but also other sections, it is needed to have exercise for better pronunciation and intonation. For the section B, with basic language rules accompanied, getting familiar with various describing expressions would be helpful for future teachers. Of course, as a future teacher, it is surely needed to have professional knowledge on English, especially on lexis and grammar, and to experience various ways of learning to prepare the section C. In preparing section D, understanding student's problem and giving them encouraging advices are essential points to teachers, so it is needed to expect those kind of situation and prepare various valuable advices. And section E requires us to know about various teaching methodology and concepts. So we should learn these things, making our own ideas about the concepts. Lastly, to prepare section F and G, we should always aware of various school problems; they can be classroom problems related to student's learning English, and overall English education system in our country.
This is just a test, so it inevitably has some type of questions to solve. Therefore, I think with overall speaking proficiency and hardworking attitude, we can prepare this test strategically.
3. Which section of the test was the most difficult for you and why?
Overall, I felt this test is more difficult than TOEIC speaking test. But especially, question 10 of the section D is difficult for me because it wasn't easy to guess about what is reason of the student's problem and suggest valuable advices quickly. There was no preparation time. I just needed more time to think and make some advices because I think advice should be helpful and encouraging to student, and also be valuable.
