English language exams are stepping stones to bigger and better things. Exams give students something to aim for and help them develop the skills they need in their lives, education and the workplace.
Teachers everywhere want to see their students do well. So how can you motivate them to get started and support them as they approach exam day?
In this article, we’ll guide you through five exam preparation tips to help your students build their confidence and ensure they feel fully prepared.
1. Give your students manageable goals
SMART goals help students make progress by being specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. They help students imagine what they want to achieve and – by breaking down objectives into steps – help them understand how they are progressing. Cambridge English Qualifications are designed with this in mind, and the regular goals motivate students to improve their skills step by step.
