Cambridge English Exams - The Writing Paper
Sometimes it can be hard to motivate our students to practise for the writing exam, or to find techniques we can use in lessons to make writing more engaging. In this session, we will look at activities you can use to help students generate ideas and use a wider range of language in the Cambridge First and Advanced writing exams, as well as different ways to give feedback on finished writing work.

Brief history of Cambridge English Exams and new developments
When was the Cambridge examination board established? How many candidates took the first Cambridge English: Proficiency? And why are Polish military pilots so significant to the development of Cambridge Exams? The session will provide answers to all those questions and show participants interesting facts from the history of Cambridge Exams. Coming back to the 21st century, there will be a part devoted to brand new developments from Cambridge English Language Assessment, including the Cambridge English Scale and several new websites which can help teachers to prepare their students for Cambridge English Exams.

Cambridge English Exams - The Speaking Paper and other aspects of teaching speaking skills
Getting students to talk in class can, at times, be an uphill battle. Every student acknowledges the importance of speaking, but they are often extremely reluctant to work on this skill in class. These sessions will examine the skill of speaking and why some students appear to be 'blocked' when it comes to communicating verbally. We will look at methods we can use to get our students to talk more. We will also discuss the speaking part of Cambridge English Exams: how to accurately assess our students, what skills are being tested and how to make speaking exam practice relevant, interesting and a little bit more realistic.
