Description

This course will give you an insight into the OET Reading sub-test and will guide you through it step-by-step. Each sub-section is worked on individually, with parts A, B, and C looked at in turn.

Stage 1

In the first stage for each of the 3 reading parts, the teacher will talk you through how to understand the texts efficiently and effectively. We’re not worried about time at this stage; just skill-building and technique-development - both aspects which are instrumental to scoring well on test day.

Practise test-taking techniques such as
- skimming and scanning
- activating schema
- top-down and bottom-up skills
- intensive reading and
- critical thinking
Learn:
- how to anticipate the type of answer required
- how to avoid distractors
- how to differentiate between main and supporting ideas
- how to understand gist and global meanings

Stage 2

In Stage Two you’ll get some guidance to point you in the right direction, but you’ll be timed and get a chance to answer the questions yourself before going through the answers with the teacher.

Stage 3

Stage Three - and it’s over to you. Download the test and answer the questions under exam conditions by yourself. Check the answers and see how you’ve scored.

Extra Resources

There’s also a language library with handy vocabulary guides and learner-training guidance for further study.
