Help please! My co teacher came and asked me to prepare over 30 different practice questions for NEAT (in 3 different sections). Does anybody out there have any materials they have made/found that I could have? I'd love you forever. Thanks

Was just doing a little searching for you and came across this which has a link to some sample questions!

And this is from a Korean self-study book for NEAT, which gives you an idea of vocabulary and topic ares (Writing Level 3):

I've looked through those links you guys gave me, unfortunately they're not what I'm looking for. We're looking for the speaking parts. Explaining pictures, cartoon strips etc. Any further help is greatly appreciated

James, I did a speaking test a few months ago with my high school students, I came across this but my teachers wouldn't let me use it. I think it might be what you are looking for.  :)

Hi again.

Does anybody have any resources that can be used to prepare students for NEAT. Specifically my school has asked me to find picutres, cartoons etc that can be used for speaking.

I suggested buying some books, but unfortunately I don't know any good titles. My google searching didn't prove to be fruitful either. Does anybody know any good titles?

I will post any materials I do find on here for other people to use to!

Thanks

Ugh. NEAT. Yet another new program that we need to familiarize ourselves with.

I wouldn't be too "ugh" about it --NEAT makes NETs relevant.  Students don't learn English because it's a wonderful language that they just love to use when playing with their NET teacher or that will make them more whole or whatever -- it's all about the test and the test hasn't been updated to reflect the supposed communicative syllabus that the gov/representatives purport to have successfully implemented. 

What we do is not currently important nor are we no matter how wonderful we think we are as teachers or how important we believe ourselves to be because we have solid command of English (first language is actually kind of easy).  You know those newspaper reports about how parents believe that students learn better from their KETs?  Well - they do, though that's no fault of ours: KETs drill students in translation exercises and explicitly teach grammar points in the students' first language which is what they need for the current test to get into uni/have careers, etc.

With NEAT, students will learn to use English but only as a byproduct of test prep (realism: how often do/will students use English?  With you?  In your classroom?  Students don't need to know how to speak English save for passing their tests but NEAT is a test that when prepped for will actually improve students' ability to use the language).

~~
OP: if you have to write your own questions, attached are a couple documents related to the test.  The rater system should give you a pretty good idea about what will be expected.  The KICE document is gov fluff related to the test

If you have to make your own prompts, something that you might try is to download comic images that have potential to be relevant to whatever grammar points/vocabulary sets that your students are learning and post them in ppt slides or on worksheets and ask your students to write X number of words/speak for X number of seconds/give a coherent answer to whatever non-display question (i.e. a question without an absolute answer) using whatever grammar point/vocab words the students have learned/are learning.

straight speaking example: comparatives - ranking importance of personal issues with a little bit of why

As an aside, up in the thread it was mentioned that someone's CT had said no to a speaking test.  A possible explanation and what will be a potential issue for the NEAT test is that it's hard for teachers to test students on this sort of stuff (coherent, relevant use of the language/sociolinguistic knowledge for second language speakers) either because of limited language ability or because classes are too big and it would just take too much time.  That prob has also likely contributed to it having taken this long to release this test (and we don't even know yet if it'll replace the Eng portion of the CSAT/KSAT, whatever)

good luck!

and they're mostly unsorted this is just a folder that i've kept loaded with ppts w/ images

If it's alright, I'll be moving this to the lesson plan section, but will wait to ensure the OP finds what he's looking for at the moment.

Wow thanks so much guys! Yes you can move the thread :)

Recently for my summer camp I used the "NEAT Bite" books. There's a different book for each skill so I took them through the Speaking book while my coteacher took them through the others. It's split into units and after teaching them some vocab and phrases they then use that language to talk about what's happening in the pictures. At the end of each unit there's a series of 6 pictures they have to make up a story for using the language they've learned. I thought it was excellent and the students enjoyed it as the content was very up to date and fun. There are a few listening activities included that I just left out to concentrate on the speaking.

You could get your school to order the speaking book for you and just photocopy the parts you need. It comes in 3 levels, I used level two with my 3rd grade middle school students (their speaking level is quite high).

Good luck!
