Tesol Spain 2026: Cambridge Use of English: from Tests to Teaching

Hello, here is the abstract for a talk I gave in Seville on preparing students for the use of English exam. Below it you can click on the link for a copy of the PowerPoint I used. I've also attached resources shared for Part 3 of the Use of English and at the bottom there are links to my posts on part 4 Sentence transformation activities. Hope it's useful!

In exam classes, students are often bombarded with practice papers. It can feel useful, but it doesn’t always lead to real progress. In this session, I’ll share activities to help FCE & CAE students build the knowledge they need for the use of English paper, and techniques to turn the exam tasks they do into genuine teaching opportunities. I’ll also share some practical exam tricks to give borderline candidates the extra push they need to get over the line.
