Advancing oral skills (APF1)

Anneli McLachlan

Advanced level study of languages demands near fluency and implies a whole repertoire of different oral skills, from giving presentations to interpreting, from agreeing to contradicting. This book explores how to develop confident speakers, who have something to say in the exacting timescale which advanced level imposes, building on good practice at GCSE. It includes a case study with material for use in the classroom, specially designed to improve students’ vocabulary and confidence and raise their awareness of exactly what is required of them. Advancing oral skills presents practical ideas for activities and approaches and offers advice on AS and A level examinations.
