About A2 speaking activities
A2 speakers can communicate in simple, routine exchanges on familiar topics and describe past experiences, plans and preferences in simple terms. They can ask for and give directions, make arrangements and express simple opinions with reasons.
Worksheets include role plays for everyday situations, information gaps, picture-based discussions, ranking tasks and question cards. Exam-style tasks reflect A2 Key Speaking, where candidates answer interview questions and then discuss a set of pictures with a partner, saying what they like and why.
Teacher copies provide model language and follow-up questions. Print or download as a PDF, or share a class link so students can view the worksheet on their devices without an account.
Teaching tips: A2 speaking activities
- Teach phrases for giving reasons, such as I like it because..., and require them in every answer.
- Use role cards with a clear goal so each pair knows when the task is finished.
- Practice follow-up questions such as What about you? to keep conversations going.
- Set a time limit and ask pairs to report one interesting thing their partner said.
