The BPP Learning Media workbook for Cambridge ICFE
BPP Learning Media has developed a workbook to prepare students for Cambridge ICFE.
The workbook covers all four of the tests that comprise the qualification: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. Each section describes the precise requirements of the test, takes the student through illustrative exercises that are packed with hints and tips for success, and then provides examples and answers for further practice. There is also a full mock test covering all four areas, so that students can practise an entire test under timed conditions.
The workbook includes an audio CD containing part of the material for the Speaking and Listening sections, replicating the type of exercises that candidates must carry out in the test itself.
To order this workbook please visit the BPP website.
