Written by Trinity College London | Nov 12, 2020 1:14:52 PM

Trinity's Alison Castle Kane and Alex Thorp delivered a presentation designed for teachers and administrators who are new to Trinity College London's Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE) in November 2020.

Within this presentation, Alison and Alex explored the underlying principles of all Trinity exams which are:

  • learner centred,
  • designed to assess communicative competence, and
  • which create a positive impact on both teaching and learning.

 

The structure of GESE was outlined, alongside the rationale for all of the tasks at each grade of GESE. Practical advice on running GESE either face-to-face or by online delivery was provided along with information on how to become a registered exam centre.

Within the presentation, Alison and Alex also advised attendees on how to access the wealth of free resources and support available to help their learners prepare.
