CAE Speaking Success

BE YOUR BEST IN THE CAE SPEAKING EXAM!

ARE YOU ABOUT TO HAVE YOUR SPOKEN ENGLISH ASSESSED FOR CAE?

Going into an oral exam can be a terrifying prospect. What if you talk too much? What if you say too little? What if you say the wrong thing? Worst of all, what happens if your mind goes blank and you dry up completely?

The last thing you want is to come out of the exam room feeling disappointed with your performance and frustrated that you failed to show the examiner your true capabilities in Spoken English.

We don't want that to happen either! That's why we've created a complete preparation package for Paper 4 of the CAE exam. It's called

CAE SPEAKING SUCCESS!

and it shows you everything you need to do to perform at your absolute best.

We're not going to pretend passing the CAE Speaking exam is easy. It's a demanding paper that tests your ability in four crucial aspects of your speaking skills:

• conversing about yourself (Part 1)
• presenting (Part 2)
• collaborating with others (Part 3)
• and discussing (Part 4)

And if you perform poorly in just one of these Parts it can pull down your overall score. On the other hand, passing the CAE Speaking paper especially with an exceptional mark tells the world (including your future employer) that you have an advanced level of language competence… It opens doors for you!
