It is not against the regulations for a Learner to ‘play a role’ to deliver their speech(es) in Speaking in Public exams, provided it is appropriate for the content and type of speech being presented and the speech is not delivered as a dramatic monologue. For example, for Grade 4 Speaking in Public, for the second speech a Learner could choose to deliver a talk about the environment in the role of a school teacher addressing a class of primary school children. As long as the Learner has demonstrated that they have met all of the set Assessment Criteria for the grade of examination they are taking, and they haven’t presented the speech as a dramatic monologue, then they can choose to adopt a different role or persona to deliver the speech
