Looking for useful tips for CAE and FCE courses
|
|
Dear colleagues, in August, I will be starting a CAE and an FCE course. I �ve got the books, I �ve got lots of ideas,I �ve got tons of motivation and so many applicants for the classes that a difficult placement test next week will have to help me reduce the number of candidates. BUT I have no experience of CAE and FCE whatsoever. I do have more than 2 decades � teaching experiences, but not this type of class. Those of you who have run such classes, could you share your most important experiences / tips / warnings / ideas with me? I �d be so happy ! elderberrywine |

As long as you are motivated, and the students as well, you shouldn´t have any big problems! Above all, I suggest reading the Handbook for Teachers that Cambridge has posted on its website... It shows you what Cambridge is looking for, above all in the Writing. Also, timing can be tricky for those exams, so make sure you do timed practice and explain to your students how they should allocate the time they have. Let me know if you have any other questions! |

Thank you, rtynen! I do have more questions.. What can be done to make lessons fun and to keep up motivation? how do you suggest students - keep a record of their mistakes and - manage their own process of learning and revising vocabular? |
