Who it is for
Who this course is for
These four groups describe the people already on this course. If none of them quite fits you, that is fine — the consultation is there to say which course does.
Students fresh out of a foundation course
Your grammar is in place, but the format and the time pressure of the real paper are still unfamiliar.
Anyone who has sat the exam and wants more
You have a result in hand and need to know exactly where the marks are going missing.
Students putting an application together
You need a band for admissions, study abroad or a graduation requirement, and have around three months to get there.
Self-learners who have hit a ceiling
You have been drilling papers for a while with no movement, particularly in Writing and Speaking.
Outcomes
What you come away with
Not the syllabus listed a second time, but what is left once the course has finished.
Four skills that move together
Every week gives time to Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking, so no single skill is left behind to drag the overall band down.
A clear answer to where the marks go
Writing and Speaking are marked against the four assessment criteria, so the feedback points at a specific fault rather than a general impression.
A method for each question type
From List of Headings to TRUE / FALSE / NOT GIVEN, each type gets its own approach and its own time budget.
Time pressure met before exam day
One mock test in the real format and to the real timings, marked and talked through afterwards.
Syllabus
What you study
Everything the course covers, grouped. The order and the weight of each part are adjusted after each student's entry test.
Listening
- The four parts and the question types that recur
- Listening for detail while keeping hold of the thread
- Feedback on each test, grouping the mistakes that keep repeating
Reading
- A separate approach for each question type
- Skimming, scanning, and how to split the time across three passages
- Detailed analysis and feedback on every passage
Writing
- Task 1: reading a chart and choosing the figures worth writing about
- Task 2: building an argument and developing it
- Feedback against Task Achievement, Coherence & Cohesion, Lexical Resource and Grammatical Range & Accuracy
Speaking
- The three parts, and what each one is actually asking for
- Extending answers instead of stopping short
- Pronunciation and grammar corrected as you speak
Vocabulary and strategy
- Academic vocabulary by topic
- Turning words you can read into words you can write and say
- How to divide your own revision time across the four skills
How we teach
The six steps behind every Wobridge course
These six steps apply to every course we run, on every programme. What changes from course to course is how much weight each step carries — noted directly under the list.
Entry assessment
A test across all four skills before placement, so we know where a student stands and what is missing.
Learning path
The target broken into stages with checkpoints, rather than a single number waiting at the end of the course.
Practice
Every lesson includes work done in class; theory never occupies a lesson on its own.
Feedback
Writing and speaking marked against the assessment criteria of the exam being prepared, with each fault attached to a named criterion.
Progress tracking
Results are recorded skill by skill through the course, so it is visible which part is moving and which is not.
Mock test
A paper sat in the real format and to the real timings, then talked through afterwards.
