Please review the Virtual calendar to see when your final LVIII exam and interviews will be held.
On the note of CAE review, I'd like to remind you of and/or clarify the following:
1) A communicative language approach prepares students for International test.
2) Your interest should be to familiarize yourselves with the kinds of tasks the CAE requires. This helps to reduce anxiety and increase your comfort level. The need to be familiar with HOW skills and competences will be assessed is not unique to an international, standardized test. Students should always have prior practice with a task before confronting it on a marked assessment.
3) For the purposes of number 2, you can make use of internet sites to gain experience with Cambridge-type tasks. Your assistant, Valeria, can also help you. She's covering some material on CAE in workshops.
4) For the purpose of learning English (content!) and doing well on ANY standardized test, you should just continue to go to class and workshops, do homework, study, etc.
5) Use this experience to improve your teaching in the future. If/When the time comes to prepare your students for standardized tests, avoid the temptation to put communicative teaching aside in favor of "
