| |
Exam Success Plus is an online resource that is available
at three separate Cambridge exam levels - FCE, CAE and CPE. Here's
what your students will be able to do every week when they
visit each Exam Success Plus area:
|
| |
- Do exam-level practice to learn and consolidate two grammar
and/or vocabulary areas, in Spotlight Paper 3 Plus
(supported by its own grammar reference section).
- Write an exam-style task, using our comprehensive guidelines,
and compare it with a model answer containing highlighted illustrations
of useful words and expressions, hints on paragraph organisation,
content and register, in Writing Class Plus

- See how ready they are to face their exam by doing an exam-style
Practice Test for one of the parts from Paper 1 (Reading) or Paper
3 (Use of English/ English in Use), in Practice Tests Plus
- tackle a 25-question revision test of all the phrasal verbs,
word formation and collocation exercises that were featured in
Flo-Joe's Word Bank the previous week, in Word of the Day Plus

In short, each level of Exam Success Plus is designed to:
- build reading skills systematically,
- encourages the development of sound writing skills through a
process approach,
- enhance grammatical and lexical knowledge,
with the result that students feel thoroughly confident in facing
the Reading, Writing and Use of English/ English in Use papers.

| Managing the learning process |
| |
Each level of Exam Success Plus is organised into two 13-week blocks
- Series 1 and Series 2. Each series has an identical structure
but contains completely different tasks and exercises. During the
period that each series is published new material is added at the
start of every week.
Series 1 and 2 are repeated once a year and run parallel to the
main Flo-Joe website. See our main calendar
for details and key starting and finish dates.

|
The 13-week structure is designed to give you the flexibility to
cater for students on both long and short courses, and to fit seamlessly
into your exam preparation classes.
The week-by-week approach offers a number of benefits to you and
your students in managing the learning process:
- The 'drip-feed' approach to learning encourages your students
to stay motivated right up until the day of the exam.
- Unlike many static self-study resources (e.g. CD-ROMS) your
students get fresh material each week. Furthermore, they cannot
race ahead of you or other students!
- Our archive system allows students to catch up on missed weeks,
to come in part-way through a series, or to continue practising
again and again until they know the language and structures off
by heart.

At Flo-Joe we've always worked really hard to produce good-quality
resources that require the minimum of effort to implement and use,
and that's also the philosophy behind the Exam Success Plus series.
So here are some things you won't find in any of the packages:
- A complicated installation process on your computer network
- Pages that take ages to download
- The need to download plug-ins or additional bits of software
to view any of the pages
- Any restrictions on the number of times your students can do
each test
|
| |
So what do you and your students get instead?
- Pages that can be accessed quickly and easily through a simple
web browser - just in the same way that the main Flo-Joe site
is viewed. All your students need is an internet-ready computer.
- Tests that give instant feedback and can be done over and over
again.
- Printable versions of all Reading texts so your students can
read long passages offline if they wish.
- A fun and motivating supplement to exam coursebooks and practice
books.

|
Why are we so concerned about all these issues? Because we believe
that accessibilty is of primary importance to anyone who uses the
web, and especially to people using the web for educational purposes.
Learners need to be able to have easy access to learning resources
at times when the teacher can't be available. Teachers need the
reassurance of knowing that they are recommending a robust resource
to their students, and one which doesn't require a huge degree of
technical know-how on either part.

More advantages of Exam Success Plus
|
| |
There is just one more important point to mention:
- Because Exam Success Plus is online, it means we can update
it whenever the Cambridge exams are modified
|
|
This means that we can guarantee Exam Success Plus:
- will always be in line with the latest exam specifications (e.g.
the revised CPE)
- will include up-to-date practice for the FCE and CPE set text
option in the Writing Paper, so you have no need to worry about
students studying for the wrong book!
