Join us for a discussion about taking a holistic approach to exam preparation: 'I don't know what to say' -- helping learners organise their thoughts.

We'll be talking about an approach that not only takes into account learners' language ability development, but also their broader educational context, as well as their self-beliefs and anxieties about exams.

Tony Clark (Senior Research Manager, Cambridge English) and Niall Curry (Senior ELT Research Manager, Cambridge University Press) will look at strategies to help those who struggle with tasks that ask them to think of ideas, and how to plan and structure their answers.

This is a recorded version of our Facebook live session. You can see more videos on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/cambridgeenglishteaching
