The Test will have the following sections with the following types of activities according to the objectives from the level 4 programme:

Examples of these are:

Writing

- a short text similar in style to the blog posts (approx 100 words)

Listening
- note taking skills (academic context)
- ability to follow a conversation in an academic context (e.g. 2 students discussing an essay, Teacher/student discussing assignment, class, etc)

Reading
- ability to follow electronic correspondance by matching 2 parts of a conversation (email, chat, etc)
- ability to identify the principal ideas/arguements of a text

English Level 4 is coming to an end...


Overall I have really enjoyed teaching this course, especially the classroom time where we have had the oppurtunity to get to now eachother, make some friends and have fun as well as learning a few things!


The activities that I enjoyed doing the most were definitely the communicative activites. I really liked the class that we did on families too becuase I felt that I learnt a lot about different people's perspectives on families and the issues invloved in this topic. I aslo enjoyed the advice that you all gave me about my trip to Brazil - to the Maracana stadium - remember?

I didn't really like preparing everyone for the test becuase the lessons were not as free but it was still useful stuff. I guess the thing that was the biggest problem was the computers - I need say no more!

If I did the course again I don't think I would change anything becuase I was really happy with all of you and the stuff that we did. Maybe I should be more stricter - what do you think?!!
