Overview

Language learning can be a long process so it is important for teachers to provide enjoyable, effective and rewarding opportunities to young learners. Through Cambridge Assessment English, young learners aged 6-12, are given a head start in English and are provided with a strong foundation and learning framework that enables them to gain confidence and improve their English language skills in every step of the way. It is therefore essential for teachers to gain insight on how to lay the foundations for their students’ future success in English.

The webinars will provide participants with a brief overview of Cambridge Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers exams including the test format. A detailed analysis of the main features of each part of the exams will follow focusing on Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing, the assessment criteria as well as information on a range of materials and resources to help teachers prepare students for Cambridge English Qualifications.  

Each webinar will take 2 hours and will involve active participation by teachers who will be provided with practical classroom activities, ideas and resources to boost their students’ language skills and improve their performance in exams.
