The Cambridge Proficiency Examination (CPE) course will prepare students for the CPE exam in June of that academic year. CPE is suitable for those who wish to work or study abroad, further their studies in English or develop a career that requires more than competent English language skills. The exam is optional and if you choose to take the exam there will be a separate fee for this. Your tutor will advise you of the fee and the exam date(s).There will be thorough grounding and practice in the following areas: WRITING: Descriptive, discursive, evaluative writing in a variety of formats (e.g. article, letter, report). You will be helped to achieve a high quality of language use, interpretation, development and realisation of tasks, in natural and appropriate register and style. READING: Intensive work on technique using authentic texts of a demanding nature, understanding of gist, inference and analysis of detail and retrieval of information. You will be able to extend your vocabulary, with emphasis on collocation and text structure. USE OF ENGLISH: You will revise and extend your grammar, with the aim of increasing the range and control of your English. This will include summarising skills. LISTENING: Understanding gist and retrieving specific information from a number of different types of aural stimuli (broadcasts, lectures, dialogues etc.) There will be practise in extracting information, interpreting attitude and intention, and recognising the meaning of stress and intonation patterns. SPEAKING: Extensive practice in speaking skills for pronunciation (including stress/intonation and weak forms) through pair and group work and class discussion. You will be guided towards producing lengthy, coherent speech and interacting to a high standard in serious discussions. Your teacher will give you homework after each lesson, which may include using the internet for research and he/she will suggest relevant TV and Radio 4 programmes. EXAMINATION TECHNIQUE
