Cambridge English Seminar Bell-lloc (Girona) 29th February 2020

Dear teachers,

Welcome to our annual Cambridge seminar event where, this year, we’re focusing on skills. In room one, we’ll be looking at how to prepare students for the new A2 and B1 Listening tasks followed by how to develop interaction and turn-taking in Speaking exams across the levels. In the second room we’ll start off with an in-depth look at ‘knowing’ and using vocabulary, followed by an exploration of First for Schools Writing skills, task achievement, assessment and preparation. So, an interesting morning, with topics of interest to everyone and we look forward to seeing you there!
