Macmillan trainer says, “Progressing from B2 to C1, from an upper intermediate to an advanced level, represents a major challenge for students. However, with the right type of guidance from teachers, learners can be helped to move away from the “intermediate plateau” and become true advanced students of English. I will look at ways in which teachers can maximise students’ potential in each of the main skill areas, both receptive and productive, and suggest activities for developing relevant subskills. I will be referring to the Cambridge CAE examination, as this is a test of students’ ability to function at C1 level, but the webinar will be of interest to all teachers of advanced English.”
