Part One Workshop
This 1/2-day workshop shows how teachers can integrate Cambridge English exams to support and develop core competences and strategies stated in LP21. In this first of two practical workshops, teachers will be shown how Cambridge English and LP21 can work harmoniously together to develop core reading and listening competences and strategies. Using the materials from Cambridge English exams, you will be shown how to develop reading and listening competences and strategies that can be used for any coursebook syllabus and context on an A2-B1 level (A2 Key and B1 Preliminary for Schools). In doing so, teachers will see how Cambridge English exams or tasks are aligned with LP21 competences.
The aims and benefits of this workshop are twofold:
a) to develop learners’ general language skills and competences whilst
b) developing core exam strategies and skills should learners take a Cambridge English exam in the future.
