Early Steps towards a Cambridge Certificate (Angela Princ)
Preparing young learners for a Cambridge YLE exam or a KET for Schools exam is a fun and rewarding experience for both the teacher and the learners. In this session, we will take a brief look at the exams with particular emphasis on the new KET for Schools exam. In addition, we will try out different communicative activities for the classroom that prepare learners well for their exams all the while entertaining them and getting them involved.
Exploring the Young Learners Exams and KET for Schools! (Angela Princ)
What better way to guide our young English learners on their way than through fun, motivating and meaningful markers of progress such as the Starters, Movers and Flyers Exams and the KET for Schools Exam? Together, we will look at the format, the salient features and task types of these exams. In addition, practical and useful exam prep ideas for the classroom will be shared and discussed.
Fun & Objective Preparation for a Cambridge Exam (Angela Princ)
In this session, we will work with the FUN! series for the YLE exams as well as Objective KET for the KET for Schools exam and take a look at the variety of entertaining and communicative activities balanced with exam-style questions to practice all areas of the syllabus in preparation for the exams.
