Cambridge English C1 Advanced (was CAE) and C2 Proficiency (was CPE) first half 2023

As you look ahead, you should keep these two things in mind.

The minimum level to graduate as an English teacher in Chile is an EFL-C1, meaning that those above the minimum, and those in "above average" or "bilingual" schools, will probably want an EFL-C2. How do you show you have this level? With a certificate.

Secondly, few school Directors, Academic Directors (UTP) or Human Resources managers know what EFL C1 or C2 really mean or if they do, have time to evaluate. So how they do they know a colleague's or candidate's level? They ask for a certificate.

You have an advanced level of English; which certificate is best for you?

You want evidence of your level of English, but which certification is best? Certificates can be very expensive, and you do not want to "invest" unwisely or even to invest without a positive return.

January 2023 - High School Methodology : Speaking

Chatting, conversation, even grunting, are normal and everyday for our students, however they likely require guidance in speaking or more intentional discourse. Although these sessions aimed at High School teachers, Upper Pirmary / Lower Secondary (G5 - 8) teachers will also find them useful. 

January 2023 - High School Methodology : Writing

We are born speaking and if not, the nurse will encourage us to start. However writing is a challenge and there is a reason why there is only one Shakespeare, one Steinbeck, one Orwell. Writing is unnatural and that gives us, teachers, something to get our teeth into. 

January 2023 - Methodology : Cambridge English for Schools Listening & Speaking

Cambridge English for Schools are EFL examinations and certificates aimed at teens, or Upper Primary / Lower Secondary (G5 - 8) and High School (G9 - 12) students. They are linked to the same CEFR levels as their main suite siblings, but with more age-appropriate prompts and tasks.
