9、ics of BEC V Speaking,BEC命题思路是测试非英语母语国家人士在真实商务情景下针对具体工作需要进行有效交流的实际能力。这种命题思路决定了整个BEC口语测试方式是work-related can-do statement, 即考生需要在口试中展示其对于剑桥考试委员会BEC大纲中的目标行为(can-do)的掌握和应用。这是BEC考试的指挥棒。因此，口语考试具有以下三个特点： Situational(情景性): Functional(功能性): Interactive(互动性):,Situational(情景性):,强烈的情景性：除第一段对话外，其余部分都被设计为针对具体工作需要

10、进行有效的交流的实际能力，大纲中共列出了三大主题范围：Social&Tourist, Work and Study。 共分成上述的十二个话题范围（topic areas）。这些任务来自商务人士的真实需要，考生应从不同的身份出发考虑如何完成具体商务任务。考察商务交际离不了这些范围。,Functional(功能性):,抛开商务工作情景，BEC口试仍是一种水平测试。并非针对商务知识检测。每个部分都综合体现了明确的语言功能， 即：functions/communication tasks。因此，口语考试的命题也是：task-orientation的命题指导方针。 交际教学法和测时法的体现 考核应用英语

11、同时完成多个语言功能的能力。如：同意、反驳、证实、预测、建议、询问、观点表达、事实确认等。,Interactive(互动性):,考生交互参与。2：2的规定考试形式。体现了语言交际的互动性。 不同考生间存在信息差，需要通过交流获取信息，完成对于一个特定话题的认识和分析。这显然是语言交际功能的反映。 考生除了展示语言能力外，还应表现出相应的交际技巧和应变能力。这也是BEC口试的重点和难点。例如：举例分析：,General Skills for Spoken Tests,应试策略 礼仪 口试策略 应试策略总汇 All parts 考试中的忌讳和策略,Spoken Test Skills for Pa
