English Test Preparation / Grades 9-10
The goal for the Test Preparation Program -or Test prep- is to provide training for students preparing for English oral exams in grade 10. By simulating a range of situations that they are likely to encounter during the test, students will improve their spoken English competencies while simultaneously building confidence for the test itself. A range of games, performances and other activities will help students prepare to improve their conversational and descriptive skills in much the same fashion they will be required to in their tests. From speaking about one’s own biography to remembering specific details learned through interacting with others, the Test Prep Program will arm students with the skills to pass their exams with flying colours.
How it Works:
For 2-3 days our instructors will work with groups of 10-13 or 14-19 pupils for 6 x 45-minutes per day. The program is ideal for students in Grade 9 who are beginning to prepare for the test or as an intensive seminar for students in grade 10 shortly before their oral English test (Mündliche Englisch-Prüfung) as part of the MSA or equivalent evaluation.
