It can be easy for learners (and teachers) to feel as though exam preparation is a drag. Completing exam paper after exam paper can easily sap motivation from us and from our students. In this session we’ll explore ways we can help our learners to prepare for those inevitable exams, but in ways which will engage our learners and get them actually enjoying the exam preparation process. In this talk we’ll utilise a range of tasks and activities as well as examples from National Geographic Learning’s New Close-up.
