At Seabird, various courses have been
designed to enhance the four OET testing areas like listening, reading, writing
and speaking which make you prepared for the OET exam. OET exam is an
international English language test which is for the healthcare arena. It
assesses the English language skills of the healthcare experts who want to
practice and register in an English speaking environment. Seabird is a reputed
OET training institute at Mohali. We make sure we have all the materials
available in the particular examination. We have well experienced trainers who
have immense command on the English language on the medical subject. There is
letter writing which includes formal and informal letters, patient referral
letters, pronunciation and appropriate language when dealing with people in
private clinics and hospital setting. There is speed reading and comprehension
for the OET test modules. Speaking includes tone, diction, fluency, accuracy,
volume and it covers the patient scenarios in Australia for specific purposes. You
have to know the text and answer the questions relevant to the text.
A discussion is there prior to taking
the test. The trainer will discuss the mistakes in the class and then personal
corrections are made. The students are given guidance about how to speak,
write, listen and read in OET so as to achieve a good band in the examination. The
results are provided according to the OET grading system which is A, B, C, D
etc. The students are given correction and assessment after the test. In case a
candidate does not get the prerequisite score, he or she needs to give the
whole exam once again. The candidate needs to repeat the failed module. The
fees will be imposed for that module. OET is a profession based English exam
which deals with the medical topics for nurses, physiotherapists etc. The exam
is easier than the IELTS exam. OET lays stress on the four language skills like
listening, reading, speaking and writing. It lays emphasis on communication in
medical and health professional settings. The listening test consists of two
components – In Part A, candidates need to listen to a dialogue between a
professional and a patient. In Part B, candidates need to listen to a health
expert who is in a short conversation on a health related topic. They need to
finish a broad range of open and fixed choice questions.
The reading test has two parts. Part
A is for the duration of 15 minute and Part B is for 45 minutes. The candidates
need to skim three or four short texts. They need to complete a summary by
filling the missing words. This test has been designed to evaluate the reader’s
ability to scan the texts in specified time duration. The candidates have to
read through two passages in Part B on a healthcare topic and answer 8 to 10
multiple choice questions for each text. The writing task asks the candidates
to write a letter and it is a referral letter. A different kind of letter is
required for some experts. Speaking: The speaking test is in the form of
personal conversations with a speaker. The start is in the form of an interview
about the candidate’s background. The candidate has two or three minutes to
make preparations for the role play. The role play is for just 5 minutes. The
sub test score consists of OET graded from A to E. A has the highest grade and
E is the lowest. There is no total grade. One can have the outcomes 16 days
after the test. The candidates get varied grades for every sub test. Several
organizations require the candidates to have B grade in the four sub tests.
