Tips and strategies to prepare for the NAATI CCL Test for Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil?
On clearing the NAATI CCL test you will get 5 extra points for your Australia Permanent Residency. The NAATI CCL Test is easier to crack with proper guidance and training.
What does the NAATI Hindi and Malayalam CCL test assess?
The NAATI CCL exam assess the candidate’s ability to interpret the meaning of a conversation between speakers of two languages i.e English and Language Other Than English or LOTE.
Below are the two factors contributing to the assessment:
- Language Quality – competency in both English and Language other than English or LOTE.
- Language Register – the level of formality with which a candidate translates the meaning of a segment.
Tips and strategies to follow during the exam to crack NAATI CCL:
i) Notes taking for English and LOTE languages.
It is suggested that notes are taken in English for both languages. So, taking quick notes with short forms is going to be easier if notes are taken in English. It’s very important to follow this as we use the English language more in our day-to-day life rather than LOTE and it is easy to take notes in English by only taking necessary information. Students don’t have to write whatever is said in the audio, but only the key information is required.
Candidates have to depend on note-taking skills as it will help in better translation and conveying maximum content. During the NAATI CCL preparation, practicing with the audio dialogues from the YouTube channel(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-iZxfRhX7gmBrqH3_eSpA ) or online material and taking notes by noting down the keywords and essential information mentioned in the audios will help in avoiding unwanted mistakes.
ii) Use short forms while taking Notes.
Create your list of short forms and abbreviations while practicing the dialogues, and use them while practicing for the exam. By doing so candidates can take better notes and capture maximum content for lengthy segments.
develop your own abbreviations for commonly used words/phrases. If you join the training, we will provide the list of the frequently used words in dialogues.
iii) Start translating within 5sec after the chime sound.
After each segment, you will hear a chime sound, which is a signal for you to begin translating. Take 3-5 seconds to gather your thoughts and then start interpreting. However, avoid taking more than 5sec, as you will lose marks.
iv) Avoid common mistakes.
Candidate will be evaluated using a deductive marking system, for every mistake student commits he/she will lose marks. So, it is better to avoid the below things to clear the exam.
- Omissions
- Distortions of meaning
- Additions
- Grammatical errors
- Lack of fluency
Student is expected to interpret the meaning of the segment. So, avoid adding any new information, or missing out on any information mentioned in the dialogues. Candidate will lose marks he/she distort the essence of what the dialogues is about. For any further assistance on avoiding these mistakes training is important to identify the weakness and work on them.
v) Active listening is key.
Active listening means it is not listening, but also understand the meaning of what is being said, with the context and the background. Approach the dialogues by putting yourself in the shoes of the interpreter who is facilitating a conversation between the English speaker, and the LOTE speaker. The dialogues range from different day to day activities in Australian, for example conversation that takes place at the Hospital, or at a meeting between Car owner and police, or a meeting between a house owner and a tenant, etc.
In such conditions, the people who are having the conversation do not understand each other language. Candidate interpretation helps them to understand each other. So, it is essential that active listening is important.
vi) Memory skills
Sharp memory skills is a plus point for this exam. Noting taking is always there to back you, but it helps if you have excellent memory retention. The important thing during the NAATI CCL exam is that students is not just expected to deliver the meaning, but also to have a reasonable amount of accuracy. Any addition or omission of the information will reduce the marks.
vii) Speak at an even speed
In this exam avoid speaking too fast or too slow. Student should maintain an even speed and fluency is very important in this exam, avoid long pauses. Pauses or stammering during the exam are considered as sign of distraction and lack of confidence.
