Hello, brave people! How are you coping with the weather and these crazy temperatures? Today is very windy where I am and I just don’t feel like going out at all, so I thought I could share some ideas with you, since it’s been quite long since my last post.
Recently, I’ve been thinking about this past school year and my students’ worries about their listening performance, so I’m going to take this opportunity to share some websites that I have used and recommended extensively. Here we go:
Spring is coming and that time is of the year is just round the corner: not the flowers and the sunny, brighter days, the short sleeves and the beers on a terrace. No, not that, I’m afraid. It’s the panicky times of Certification exams. Oh dear!
It’s the time when students suddenly realize that the exam is in a month or so and they begin to stumble over their grammar notes, vocab lists and all that hedgepodge of useful language for tests.
My students, who are more than used to receiving all sort of summaries from me, have recently asked me to put up some kind of portfolio to help them prepare their speaking exam and I have agreed to do so. So… here you are.
For those of you who are sitting Cambridge PET soon:
I have created a grammar review presentation to help you refresh your grammar contents, based on the textbook I have been using with some of my students in class (Complete PET – Cambridge English).
I really hope you find it useful and please remember to make your comments if you wish. You can also share this post with any of your friends in need to relieve their pain! 😉
Hi guys,
I have used Voicethread, a tool I recently heard about, to prepare a video tutorial to help you with PET picture description (Speaking part 3). I really hope you find it useful.
