An orientation for new teachers: each qualification targets a CEFR level; download the Handbook for Teachers (overview, skill guidance, sample tests, Speaking/Writing scales) before planning; build vocabulary from the official word lists; explain the exams’ value to parents.
Practical
- Handbook first; assessment scales for Speaking and Writing are inside.
- Word lists: Starters/Movers/Flyers, A2 Key, B1 Preliminary (check the for Schools versions).
- YL warmers: Kim’s game, What’s missing?, sound spotting, sequencing pictures.
- A start-of-year parent session explaining the qualification.
Limits
Promotional; nothing on how to teach exam skills beyond vocabulary.
Connections
Starters to Flyers - teach through meaning, know the format · CEFR vocabulary labels - prioritise, don’t restrict · Plan KET and PET speaking around the assessment criteria
