Spotlight on Advanced is a comprehensive course that has been revised to be in line with the new Cambridge English exam specifications for January 2015. It prepares adults and younger learners to excel in the revised exam. An exciting new feature of this revised edition is the Ideas Generator. Test takers need to generate ideas to pass the Speaking and Writing papers of the exam. The Ideas Generator uses National Geographic videos to stimulate students' interest in common exam topics, help them build ideas about these topics and gather the language they need to effectively write or speak about them. After each video lesson students will have a bank of ideas, functional language and vocabulary tied to eight topics that commonly appear in the exam. One of the most difficult parts of the exam for students is the Speaking Test. The Speaking Test videos and worksheets will prepare students by getting them to engage with simulations of all four parts of the Speaking test

Macmillan Education ELT Publicado em 15 de mar de 2018 Hosted by Brian North, this webinar introduces the recently published CEFR Companion Volume with New Descriptors (CEFR/CV) and the new CEFR illustrative descriptor scales that it contains. There will also be a brief overview of the 4-year project that developed the descriptors, including the validation phases in which some 190 institutes and over 1500 people from around the world became involved. The paradigm shift from the ‘four skills model’ of a learner as an individual speaker/hearer to the view in the ‘action-oriented approach’ of the user/learner as a social agent who constructs meaning and concepts in interaction and mediation will be explained. Key aspects of the implications for teaching and learning presented in the CEFR/CV will also be outlined.
