GETTING READY TO TAKE THE MOVERS TEST!


On September 7th, 2010 our fifth grade students took the "MOVERS" mock test in order to be ready for the real examination, next October 29th, 2010. "MOVERS" is one of the Cambridge ESOL exams, which evaluates the level of English proficiency at level A1, according to the Common European Framework (CEF). Taking the mock test was a wonderful opportunity for learners to discover how they can improve their performance in the real test. Students expressed that the mock test was easy and important when taking the real examination. The exam administrator from the British Council, Oswaldo Tautiva, expressed that the students did an appropriate performance in the oral part of the test. Anyway, we will be waiting for the results in order to keep on training our students for the success on this test!
