Cambridge Writing Masterclass

How to utilise the Cambridge mark scheme in the classroom

How can you improve your teaching for the Cambridge writing exams and gain insight into the marking criteria for your learners?  Providing your learners with an awareness of the marking criteria and an understanding of how to improve their writing so that they can successfully improve their performance in writing for the exam is the focus on a series of books published by Prosperity Education covering B1 to C2 levels on the CEFR. 

In this workshop we will look at the different assessment criteria and investigate how your learners can use the criteria to focus their writing practice. The session will include practical ideas that you can take away and use in class straight away to encourage learner independence and increase confidence in this challenging skill.

Margaret Cooze holds an MA in Applied Linguistics and an MSc in English Language Teaching Management, and has worked in senior-examiner roles at Cambridge English Language Assessment and Cambridge Assessment International Education. She is the author of Approaches to Learning and Teaching English as a Second Language (Cambridge University Press) as well as numerous publications for Prosperity Education.
