Exam Preparatory Activities that Worked in the Classroom

Exam preparation tends to be regarded as the most serious kind of lesson, with the teacher imparting knowledge and the learners memorising everything so that they can pass the test later. This, however, should not be the case as we belive in learner-based teaching and we will provide you with losts of activites that can be used in class when preparing students for the exam.

We also invite practicing teachers of English to share their successful classroom experiences with one another and submit activities that they (as well as their students) found useful during exam preparation.
