Grand Hotel Tiziano e dei Congressi Lecce – viale Porta d’Europa. Experts Together – New Ideas for Cambridge Exam Preparation
Preparing students for Cambridge exams means giving them the opportunity to improve their skills, set clear goals and develop strategies to achieve them.
The “Exam Changes 2020” seminar” which was held on 11 December 2019 was the first of the training events dedicated to teachers and training operators, organised by Oxford Group Lecce – the official Cambridge exam preparation centre and certifying body.
The meeting which saw the involvement of Industry experts, has taken a closer look at how to build exam success together for students, including following changes to the A2 Key, Key for Schools, B1 Preliminary and B1 Preliminary for Schools exams. Among the new features are next-generation materials that help to provide comprehensive learning paths for students.
From their end, the teachers left the seminar with a clearer idea of the exam modifications and how to motivate students with varied and engaging preparation activities.
The next training events are scheduled for February 2020.
