Teaching for Exams

Teaching for exams in ELT (English Language Teaching) refers to a specialized area of English language instruction that focuses on preparing students to take standardized English language proficiency tests, such as TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge English exams, or other similar tests. Teaching for exams in ELT typically involves teaching test-taking strategies, as well as specific language skills and content knowledge that are tested on the exam. Teachers may use practice exams, sample questions, and other materials to help students become familiar with the format and content of the test. Additionally, teachers may provide feedback and guidance on areas where students need to improve their language skills. Teaching for exams in ELT is important because many non-native English speakers need to take English proficiency tests as part of their academic or professional goals, such as applying to universities or for certain jobs. By preparing students for these exams, ELT teachers can help their learners achieve their goals and increase their chances of success in their academic or professional careers.
