There's a new worksheet based on "Summer Holidays" for you to use with your in-company and PARE groups if you like.
There are different activities (reading, vocab, speaking, video and a song). If you don't have access to equipment to play the video on, you can miss that part out and use the audio only (MP3) version of the song as well as the other activities.

You can find all the material here: SUMMER HOLIDAYS

It is also on the system in Granollers: S:\Teachers\03 Levels\03 In-company Levels File\02 Resources\01 Speaking and Listening\2015-2016\S&L UPP INT ADV VIDEOS\Summer Holiday

Speaking exam practice

Hi all!

With speaking exams coming up it's a good idea to do some practice in class before the exam. Each level should now have practice resources for parts of the exam in the:

 03 Tests & Exams\Exams\Speaking exam

Section of the level folder.

For anyone who would like to try additional resources to practice speaking don't forget Paul English has a fantastic Prezi page of speaking resources here:

http://eslprezi.com/speaking-practice/

Good luck with them!

Powerpoint template with Cambridge School logo

(From Penny)

Many teachers use Powerpoint these days to make grammar presentations or games for their classes. Some teachers have suggested that we use a template with the Cambridge School logo on it to make our Powerpoint presentations look more standardised and professional.  Nuria has put together a simple template for teachers to use:

The header is quite small so there should still be plenty of space left for text and images.

It would be great if teachers could use this template as much as possible when making Powerpoint presentations.  The template is saved in Teachers/Levels.
