This presentation was given on Methodology Day on 18 April 2014 by Tatiana Polovinkina.
"A Chinese proverb says, “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills”. Yes, there have been more updates to one of the most popular exams but there is no need to panic; in fact, there are all the reasons to be enthusiastic and embrace this change. In our session we will
* analyse the update to Cambridge English: First and First for Schools for 2015 providing a brief rationale for the revision
* outline the new structure of the exam, focusing on the papers that have undergone the biggest change
* highlight continuity and teaching implications.
We will also discuss whether/how we may need to adjust our teaching to meet the new exam specifications and ensure our students’ success in the exam."
Note to presenters: In addition to the slides that already accompany this presentation, before the end of the presentation you will also need to add the relevant marketing slides – these are available to download on Fronter.
