FCE Exam Preparation (20 GE + 10 Group EP)
This course prepares students for the FCE exam. It includes 20 general English lessons and 10 exam preparation lessons per week.
With this course the general English course is supplemented with two daily group classes to prepare students for the FCE examination. The General English course consists of four integrated skills classes where students are placed in groups with other students of the same level. Classes cover reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary.
Students will improve their accuracy (how correct their English is) and fluency (how well they can communicate). Lessons have daily and weekly objectives and use the Communicative Approach, so English is learnt by using English not just by listening to grammar lectures and doing worksheets.
The main focus of these classes is on developing the student’s communicative competence via conversation, debates, presentations etc. Having worked on improving their English skills, grammatical range and accuracy and lexical resource in the general English lessons, in the exam preparation class students will focus on how to successfully complete the various tasks required for the specific exam they will be taking. The primary focus will be on familiarising themselves with the exam format and learning strategies and skills for approaching the various question types. They will also learn the vocabulary and grammar necessary to complete these tasks coupled with practice using past papers and feedback from experienced exam preparation teachers.

However, it can also work for novice students as they will be asked to complete a mock exam and based on their results the teacher can tailor make them a personalised course.
