What is this webinar about?

Helping learners succeed in writing at C1 Advanced level requires more than just teaching language - it involves understanding what examiners look for and how to guide students toward meeting those expectations. We’ll examine the key assessment scales and look at what they mean in practice. Using real sample answers and examiner comments, we’ll analyse what makes a strong response. You will gain insights into how to apply these criteria consistently when marking, and how to give constructive feedback that helps learners improve.
