B2 Writing Cambridge Masterclass with practice tests There are six possible task types in the B2 First Writing exam. This write-in student book focuses on each task type individually, explaining its characteristics and providing guidance on how to plan a response to an exemplar question. For each task-type question, two responses from different students are provided. One response is very good and the other is less good, identifying areas in which the student could improve. There are detailed comments on each response, categorised by the assessment criteria (Content; Communicative Achievement; Organisation; Language), as well as a breakdown of the marks that each response could get in the exam. The four exam-styled practice tests included in this resource will allow the reader to consolidate their approach to the different types of writing task that can be assessed. Margaret Cooze holds an MA in Applied Linguistics and an MSc in English Language Teaching Management, and has worked in senior roles at Cambridge English Language Assessment and Cambridge Assessment International Education. She is the author of several ELT resources published by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. For more Cambridge English resources, visit www.prosperityeducation.net

This guide covers the main writing tasks that appear in the Cambridge Assessment English test called B2 First (FCE). These tasks are: essays, articles, reviews, reports, emails & letters. This book provides 3 sample tasks and answers for each type of writing, plus more than 300 useful expressions that candidates can use in their writings for B2 First. Ideally, students should use these samples as models for their own writing tasks, making use of the helpful expressions provided at the end of each section. Besides the sample tasks and expressions, this guide also contains a brief description of B2 Writing Part 1 and Part 2, a full description of every task type, guidance on developing an appropriate writing strategy, a description of how writing is assessed and a sample mark sheet which can be used to assess students' performance or as a self-assessment tool. In general, this writing guide is aimed at students of English as a foreign language who are interested in improving their writing skills with a view to obtaining their B2 First certificate (previously known as FCE), and at teachers who want support B2 writing material to use with their own students.

A modular, skills-based course for the Cambridge First Certificate in English (FCE) exam.

This book is for you if you've never taught Cambridge First Certificate before, you want to know the most efficient techniques for getting your students through the exam, even if you've taught it before or you want to be able to advertise your services as an expert in First Certificate. The best way to learn to teach Cambridge First Certificate, is to take students through an entire course. Most schools I've worked at don't offer much in the way of additional training. You're just expected to get on with it. When I taught First, Advanced and PET, I was bumbling along with the books just trying to stay one answer further ahead than the students. Even if you're experienced at teaching general English, you can end up feeling like you've just stepped off the TEFL course. Learning along the way means you won't always be able to see around every little corner. With this book, you'll have everything you need to teach the exam the way your students deserve.

The Teacher's Book is accompanied by a DVD-ROM with tests in both PDF and editable Word format, along with a series of teacher training videos. There is also additional photocopiable material in the Teacher's Book, with a focus on material for the Speaking test.
