How To Write Exam Preparation Materials

How are exam preparation materials different from general English language teaching materials? How can a writer construct exam-type tasks that test students’ abilities in the four main skills, as well as grammar and vocabulary? These are two of the questions Roy Norris answers in this book, sharing his wealth of experience gained over more than a decade of ELT writing. Writers will appreciate the invaluable time-saving tips, tasks that encourage critical evaluation, and the detailed commentaries which provide further hints and insights. The book is ideal for teachers who are preparing students for exams and want to create targeted and bespoke content to address their students’ specific needs.

This book forms part of the ELT Teacher 2 Writer training course. The course is designed to help you write better ELT materials, either for publication, or simply to improve the quality of your self-produced classroom materials.
