Week 1 wrap up
In this video Sarah recaps Week 1 and gives us a sneak peak of what’s ahead in Week 2.
(SOFT PIANO MUSIC) Congratulations on finishing week one, it’s been a great start to the course. We’ve loved reading and learning from your discussions, so please keep them coming. It’s great to see that the skills and strategies discussed have made a difference to your understanding of the PTE test items. We are also taking note of the item types and skills that you have flagged as challenging and we hope to unpack these over the next few weeks. Our aim this week was to identify, explain and practice core integrated speaking and writing skills.
I’m sure the interactive videos and the practice tasks will help you approach the speaking and writing test items with a deeper understanding of the underlying skills required to be successful in these item types. Next week, we will build on these key learnings and explore the discrete skills required for speaking items and specific skills for writing. We encourage you to continue interacting with other learners in the course and to share your thoughts on what you’ve learnt.
