About Lesson

The first lesson explains the GESE Grade 5 exam structure, detailing how it fits into the Secure English Language Test (SELT) required for UK citizenship or settlement. Students will learn about the test’s focus on conversation skills, the importance of natural communication, and how examiners evaluate fluency and interaction.

Students will:

  • Understand the relationship between GESE Grade 5 and SELT.
  • Learn the components and topics covered in the exam.
  • Grasp the exam’s conversation-led approach and the significance of everyday English skills.

The GESE Grade 5 is a 10-minute test divided into two parts. The first is a conversation on a prepared topic, and the second involves discussing everyday subjects chosen by the examiner. Candidates must demonstrate B1 level English, particularly in speaking and listening.

By the end of the lesson, students will have clarity on the assessment format and what the examiner looks for. This understanding is vital for guiding their preparation journey and easing any pre-test anxiety.
