RESOURCE BOOKS FOR TEACHERS This series gives the classroom teacher a guide to the practice of key aspects of language teaching, and considers some of the underlying concepts. In each book an introduction presenting important current issues in the area under consideration is followed by examples and discussion of actual classroom materials and techniques. Exam Classes is much more than an exam practice book. It contains advice and activities to help teachers prepare students effectively for examinations, including exam strategies, awareness raising, understanding test rubrics, and practice at exam-type questions. The 90 activities help prepare students for a wide variety of public English language examinations, including most of the main American and British exams. There are sections on all four skills, plus 'Grammar' and a chapter on 'Exam strategies'. An exam task-type index helps teachers select activities appropriate for their particular classes. There is also an Appendix listing the main English language examinations set by British, US, and European boards. Peter May is a freelance teacher, teacher trainer, writer, and translator based in Brussels, Belgium.
