cambridge exam Preparation
The Cambridge First Certifcate in English (FCE) and
Certifcate in Advanced English (CAE) are practical,
skill-based examinations which test your profciency in
reading, writing, English in use, listening and speaking.
They are recognised world-wide by employers and
educational institutions.
Higher level courses in General English use FCE (Level
5) and CAE (Level 6) textbooks and preparation materials
in class, as well as other teaching resources which are
appropriate for these levels and can assist to prepare
you for these exams.
To provide current and accurate feedback on your skills
in reading, writing, speaking and listening, you will be
assessed in simulated interviews, practice examinations
and homework.
The Level 5 and 6 General English classes can prepare
you for the Cambridge Examinations throughout the
year. A ten-week enrolment is recommended to
maximise exam performance.
The Institute is also a Cambridge online test
centre. Please contact student services for
details of available test dates.
In Japan we don’t have much time to practise speaking
English, only grammar and writing. Here, I have a lot of
opportunities to practise the most important skill. My
teachers are great, they know that we are nervous and living
in a different environment and encourage us to speak up and
express ourselves in English. They care about how we are
feeling, our life and not just our studies.
