Preparation work for live session
Preparation work for live session
Next week are our formative exams, which are a chance for you to do a practice run of the final exam, and to become familiar with its format. This year the exams will be all online, but the listening exam will still be a very straightforward short talk (given by someone you might recognise) followed by some comprehension checking questions and a summary writing task. Full details are on the listening assessment page. The preparation tasks below give you an idea of the level and complexity. The live session this week can be used to discuss the assessment or, perhaps more interestingly, for you to run your own listening activities for your peers as outlined at the end of last term.
