OET Speaking Role Play (Nursing): Second Role Play

This video was filmed to help candidates familiarise themselves with the format of the Speaking sub-test. In this video you will see an OET Nursing candidate and an interlocutor undertaking one of the Speaking role-plays. (Note: Please find the feedback below)

While this was filmed for educational purposes, and there is no grade given, we have feedback for this video located here:

Feedback for Sample test 2:

The candidate is generally easy to understand, and stress and intonation are used well to show empathy. She demonstrates fluent speech at normal speed, but with some repetition. Her register, tone and lexis are mostly appropriate and occasional errors in grammar are not intrusive. She introduces herself and shows empathy for the parent’s feelings about the delay. She is sympathetic and non-judgemental throughout the interview. She encourages the parent to describe the symptoms but could explore these more effectively by using specific questions and active listening techniques. She explains the procedure clearly, picking up on the patient’s feelings of anxiety and reassuring her.

Did you know we have a free preparation page? And that you can purchase a feedback voucher?

Please note: This feedback is for this candidate’s performance but includes some useful description about what has been done well and what could be improved on. You can use this description to think about your own strengths and weaknesses.

Do not highlight the same sentence repeatedly for example this girl saying ‘ i would like to explain to you’ she said it many times!!!

[bhimgurung]

Is it okay to underline the important sentence during preparation time?

[dabahiaable]

The first time she said that the child's condition is stable I understood she saying the child's condition is Terrible. 😄 2nd time I understood stable.

Well but I'm is it the duty of the nurse to confirm the diagnosis before Dr s assessment?

[nursedl]

I think the mother wants to know what indications his child if he has ashtma or not, couple of times she ask this question but the nurse keeps giving thesame answer. As Nurses we have independent nursing function and we dont rely on Doctors for all procedures, she could have said the sign and symptoms of pt who has an asthma attack like restless, DoB, irritable and so on. Anyway thank you for posting

[gracelubanga]

She is also not listening to the patient

[kateeryka]
