"Fun in a C2 Class!?"
Can a Proficiency-level class actually be fun? Many teachers find the jump to C2 demanding, often trading student engagement for heavy exam prep. This session proves you can have both. We will explore practical activities for teenage learners that cover all four skills while staying aligned with syllabus goals. From creative speaking challenges to tech-integrated assessment, you’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas that make sophisticated learning feel more like a game and less like a chore. Let’s turn “dry” exam prep into the highlight of your students’ week!
