Upskill your Learners: genuine skills development for Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers with David Valente. There is an extensive range of materials available nowadays for preparing children to take the Cambridge Pre A1 Starters, A1 Movers and A2 Flyers exams. However, in reality, how much of this material is thinly-disguised exam practice, based heavily on exercises to emulate exam task types? How can you as a YL exams teacher retain a focus on age-appropriate pedagogy, anchor your English lessons in the child’s world and provide plenty of enjoyable learning experiences? I will address these questions by sharing engaging, carefully scaffolded techniques and activities to develop children’s language (and other) skills and to equip them with useful strategies for exam success. Practical examples from the new Cambridge FUN Skills series will be used to illustrate the ideas presented.
