Episode 31: Cambridge exams Set Texts

<p>This is a short presentation about the set text for B2 First for Schools and the two novels for C2 Proficiency. I answer why they're used in the exams and what candidates are expected to do. Also, I will explain what the benefits are and the possible pitfalls if you decide to prepare for them. The set texts are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>B2 First for Schools</strong> (January 2021 - December 2022) <strong>Daphne du Maurier: </strong><em><strong>Rebecca</strong></em>. Teachers may choose to prepare candidates for questions on this set text by studying any film version of Rebecca, as well as, or instead of, the book. &nbsp;</li> <li><strong>C2 Proficiency </strong>(January 2022 - December 2023) <strong>Jane Austen: </strong><em><strong>Northanger Abbey</strong></em>, and <strong>David Nicholls: </strong><em><strong>Us</strong></em>. In this episode, I will explain which version is the best choice. &nbsp;If you're looking for feedback on your writing (Speaking or Writing), contact me through podcast@languageteaching.es.</li> </ul> <p>The video presentation can be watched here https://youtu.be/v_j02sshpSA</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/whatyousayinenglish/message Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/whatyousayinenglish/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/whatyousayinenglish/support</a>
