This forces them to take officialEnglish exams, both written and oral, which presents difficulties for Spaniards, as many of them claim not to have takenany oral exam before. It is also challenging for teachers, who must combine the acquisition of communicative results,perceived as more demanding, with the traditional use of English aspects and provide a more creative and pragmatic usefor all of them.Considering the above, we have compiled a list of common pronunciation, vocabulary and grammatical errors made bySpaniards to be avoided at B1 oral exams, based on teachers’ notes from the three official B1 oral examination sessionsat the university in the academic year 2013-2014. It aims to detect errors, mistakes and weaknesses so as to guide theteaching-learning process in future B1 intensive programmes.
