UNDERSTANDING OET SPEAKING

• STARTING THE CONVERSATION
• CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION
• COMMUNICATING THE PATIENT
• VOICE AND LANGUAGE TONES

3

• STARTING THE CONVERSATION

• You dont need to wait for the patient to ask you
  a
• question or speak.
• You start the dialogue by explaining the
• predicament to the patient and his family
• Why then do you insist on speaking before the
  OET person and take charge of the conversation
  and start talking.

4

• CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION
• If there is pause and then the dialogue resumes,
  you must keep it going until it is essential.
• Instead of the OET person, it should be you who
  has that spark.
• So continue the conversation. And you must
• coerce the patient into speaking if he wont.

5

• COMMUNICATING THE PATIENT
• Now that the patient has started speaking, it is
  your time to pay close attention to what he has
  to say.
• If you dont pay close attention to what the
  patient is saying, you wont be able to discern
  what he needs from you and hence wont be able
  to offer a pertinent and useful response.
• Communication is a two-way process in which both
  persons interested in the conversation
  participate by speaking and listening.

6

• VOICE AND LANGUAGE TONES
• This implies that every aspect of your speech,
  including tone and phrasing, will be scrutinized.
• You must be aware of and comprehend your
  audience if you want to get along.
• What age is the patient? What state is the
  patient in? How happy or unhappy is the patient
  feeling? Respond to these inquiries since they
  will undoubtedly affect the language.
