Description

Sponsored by Duolingo
Many classes treat test prep as drills and memorization. This session shares a simple way to turn items from the DET, PTE, and IELTS into pair and group tasks that build language and exam skills at the same time. You will see quick adaptations for speaking, writing, reading, and listening that fit different levels and time limits. The goal is to keep students engaged and help them feel ready for test day.
