How do you prepare students for a certification?
My students will present their Oxford test of English in like a year but we’re already started working on preparation. TBH, I have never felt confident with this type of courses because I know preparation isn’t like a real class with presentation, practice, production. I have only taught it once before and I basically had a grammatical topic I focused on every week, and we did tasks from the evaluation, like speaking part 1 and 2, writing part 1 and 2 and so on. I tried to match the topics to the functions they need to dominate. Anyways, this is the first time I’m teaching an actually advanced group and today two students approached me to tell me we have been working on topics they already know. I was thinking about overhauling with the nitty gritty of writing like clauses, punctuation and all that stuff, but I’m not confident and there’s no program to follow. What do you usually do!
