What you Will Learn:
Speaking: Fluency-building, pronunciation, and task-specific speaking strategies (e.g., giving opinions, making comparisons, role-plays, interviews).
Writing: Structuring and drafting essays, formal letters, reviews, and other exam-based writing tasks.
Grammar: Focus on grammar structures (e.g., conditionals, modals, tenses, sentence structures) that are tested in these exams.
Test Strategies: Approaches for managing time, responding to various question types, and strategies for specific exam tasks.
🗣️ Speaking Skills (with test-style questions)
✍️ Writing Tasks (task types from each exam)
🧠 Grammar in Use (for accuracy & range)
🔤 Spelling Focus (targeted + common test errors)
🎯 Test Strategies (planning, time control, structure)
Included resources that will guide you through every part of your learning process:
Each week, you’ll receive a spelling list of commonly tested words and tricky spelling patterns to practice. These words will help you improve both your writing and speaking accuracy in the exams.
Example:
-Week 1: irregular verbs (e.g., begin–began–begun, eat–ate–eaten)
-Week 2: -ed/-ing adjectives (e.g., bored, interesting)
Each week, we will focus on a different grammar structure. These cheat sheets will help you quickly recall rules and apply them in both writing and speaking tasks.
Example:
Week 1: Present Simple vs Present Continuous
Week 2: Comparatives and Superlatives
Week 3: Modals (e.g., can, should, must)
Each week, you'll get a list of useful phrases to enhance your speaking fluency. These phrases will help you express opinions, give examples, agree/disagree, and link ideas smoothly during the speaking exam.
Example:
Week 1: Giving Opinions
"In my opinion…"
"I believe that…"
"I would argue that…"
Week 2: Agreeing & Disagreeing
"I agree with that."
"I'm not sure I agree."
"That's an interesting point, but…"
Writing tasks can feel overwhelming, but don’t worry! We’ll give you structure templates to help you organize your ideas clearly and effectively. These templates will make your writing tasks easier to handle and ensure you cover everything you need for success.
Example:
Week 1: Opinion Essay Template
Introduction: State your opinion + why you feel this way.
Body Paragraph 1: Present your first reason.
Body Paragraph 2: Present your second reason.
Conclusion: Summarize and restate your opinion.
Week 2: Problem-Solution Essay Template
Introduction: Introduce the problem.
Body Paragraph 1: Discuss the causes of the problem.
Body Paragraph 2: Suggest a solution and explain.
Conclusion: Recap the issue and solution.
At the end of each week, you’ll have a self-checklist to review your progress and ensure you’re ready for the exams. Use this list to evaluate your speaking and writing tasks.
