The NAATI CCL exam consists of two dialogues on different scenarios including Medical, Legal, Social, Community and so on. Each dialogue is usually made up of 12-14 segments, 6-7 in English and 6-7 segments in Language other than English (LOTE). No segment is more than 35 words.
In the test, you are required to convey the meaning of what is said by each speaker into the other language (i.e. English into LOTE and LOTE into English). Your responses are recorded via a recording device. Each dialogue is roughly 300 words. Each dialogue is divided into segments of 35 words or less.
A chime indicates when each short segment ends. The testing officer will pause the audio recording at each time so that you can speak your answer. You should give your response after hearing the chime. Your response should begin within 5 seconds of the chime.The test officer will play the next segment only when you have finished. Read more
