Study the CAE or FCE online or through Skype

OSL: The Language Boutique is offering classes to prepare yourself for the Cambridge exams through Skype or online.
This is particularly aimed at those of you who have a work or study timetable that makes it complicated to attend class regularly. The idea is to create a flexible situation where you can learn and improve your English and the techniques to accomplish the exams in your time.
It works like this:

• In the classes by Skype we will practise speaking English, gaining confidence with the use of spoken English in general, in addition to practice of expressions, grammar and vocabulary as well as the parts of the Speaking Paper.

• Grammar exercises will be set for homework: a grammar explanation will be sent out accompanied by grammar exercises, to be done in your free time.

•  By Skype we will go through a review of homework, any problems or doubts about this can be sorted out by questions and answers with an explanation.

• One Writing homework will be done per week, you will be told in advance what will be expected of you in each written paper. The first ones will involve grammar practice, expressions and vocabulary that have been covered in the classes. Nearer the exam, the Writings will be specific exam practice pieces.

• Listening exercises will be sent via email, although it will be expected that you do as much as possible additional listening practice. This will involve listening to the radio, watching the TV in English and downloading various podcasts that are available online.

• In the same way, it is expected that you read as much as possible in English, at your level, to increase your vocabulary and improve your abilities to comprehend English. One problem, especially at the higher levels of the Cambridge exam is the speed at which you need to read, so an ability to read and comprehend quickly is necessary.

• In the 2 month run up to the exam, the classes will be specifically focused on exam preparation and tips for each part of the different papers of the exam: the Reading, Writing, Use of English, Speaking and Listening. The emphasis will be on timing, grammar, expressions, organization and so on.
