About Bridge 
Much of our work as ELT writers involves developing tasks that prepare learners for specific exam formats, often with strict requirements around level, timing and structure. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the materials we create have to be bland, generic or easily forgettable.
In this session, I’ll explore how we can design listening and speaking exam preparation tasks that not only meet assessment goals but also leave a more lasting impression on the learner.
Drawing on recent examples from work on a C1-level high-stakes exam preparation materials, I’ll look at some specific ways to frame prompts, scripts and interactions so that they invite engagement, reflection, or a more personal response, without compromising the demands of the exam. The focus will be on practical and adaptable techniques that help make exam prep materials clearer, more memorable, and more human.
