Period	2017/02/01
Item	Practice Materials for the Progress Test
Details	The university will be using the Progress Test from AY2017. In readiness for this and to prepare the students for the kind of questions they will face on the test , I worked with a small group of teachers to create materials related to the topics covered in two English courses (Elementary and Pre-Intermediate). These materials included picture prompts , dictation exercises , short reading activities , and writing prompts. These will be delivered to students in an online format so that students can practice easily using their PC or smartphone. The purpose is to help to develop the students' English , reinforce the English taught in their courses , and also to prepare them for the test.
