Persian Listening

Learn Farsi the way it’s spoken in real life! Dive into authentic conversations, everyday phrases, and cultural insights to help you speak like a local


Spoken Persian 

In this episode I talk through an idea I’ve been developing from my LinkedIn posts and from work with my Chinese IELTS students — the examiner’s eye. Lots of candidates can name the four IELTS writing criteria, but very few actually understand what they mean and how an examiner applys them. That gap explains a lot of 5.5–6.0 scores. So listen and hear how to close that gap...

I look at:
why template-heavy IELTS training produces flat, predictable essays
why “I know the criteria” is not the same as “I can apply the criteria”
how examiner perspective is formed over time and volume
how AI can be used to rehearse different band levels of the same task
This one is more theory than technique — it’s about thinking like an examiner before you start writing.

Improve fluency and pronunciation through shadowing

Learn exam‑ready vocabulary for care home and family support topics

Understand how to respond naturally to patient concerns

This is part of Kevin’s OET Roleplay Practice series — designed to help you score higher in the OET Speaking sub‑test with real‑world, exam‑authentic practice.

OET Nursing Roleplay (Care Home Advice, Card 4):

In this episode, Kev Dean explores a bold new approach to OET Speaking preparation—treating roleplay as performance. Drawing on drama pedagogy, clinical communication theory, and AI-enhanced rehearsal tools, Kev shares how medical candidates can rehearse tone, empathy, and genre-specific phrasing to reduce fillers and sound more like real clinicians.

🎭 Highlights include:

Why “Hamlet with a stethoscope” reframes OET as rehearsable dialogue

How drama pedagogy boosts fluency, intonation, and emotional clarity

Using AI-generated audio scripts for shadowing and rehearsal

Replacing “ums” and “ahs” with structured, empathetic phrasing

Building a tonal repertoire: clinical, conversational, and examiner styles

Real examples from Turkish and Ukrainian learners

Whether you're a doctor, nurse, or educator, this episode offers a fresh lens on how performance theory can transform medical English training...
