TEF Speaking Section A (The Inquiry): Complete Strategy & Question Guide

Section A of the TEF Canada Expression Orale (Speaking) is a 5-minute roleplay where you must ask 10 to 12 formal questions to an examiner based on a short advertisement, classified ad, or notice.

While this is the easier of the two speaking sections, candidates frequently lose massive points for three simple reasons:

1. Asking informal questions using "Tu" or basic "Est-ce que" structures.
2. Running out of questions after 2 minutes.
3. Repeating the same grammatical question structure 10 times.

Here is your complete strategy guide and to guarantee full marks on TEF Canada Speaking Section A.
