Speaking Examiner
The speaking examiner plays a key role in assessing the language skills of the candidate. The assessment of speaking skills usually accounts for at least 20% of the candidate’s overall score. Accurate and standardized assessments contribute to the reliability of the results. Candidates for examiners learn how to objectively and precisely assess speaking skills, which directly affects the credibility and accuracy of examination results. Training is held once a year for individual voivodeships: Greater Poland, Lower Silesia, Lubusz, Kuyavian-Pomeranian, and Opole.
