In this lesson Lizzie Hoskins is working with a KS4 class who are building up an NVQ portfolio at level 1 based on the National Language Standards. The students are preparing for a speaking assessment which involves working in pairs either as a customer or sales assistant set in the work context of a shoe shop. 

The teacher presents a gapped dialogue which she has made using Task Magic software. Students complete this in writing initially working together as a group facilitated by the teacher who questions them as they work through the dialogue. This is a revision of work covered in a previous lesson. 

The students then work on the speaking task in pairs. The teacher assesses the pairs and at the end of the clip, she refers to the assessment again and discusses with the students which aspects of the National Language Standards have been covered.
