Although exams can provide external motivation, they should not be the sole focus of language education. This talk will underscore the importance of utilising authentic materials in ELT education and provide practical advice on how to incorporate them into lessons. We will cover various sources that teachers can use to prepare students for exams and, more significantly, how to adapt them to suit the lesson's objectives. This approach develops students' language skills and overall competence, rather than simply providing test-taking strategies.

Vladimir Pavlovich (CPE A, IH CAM, MA Linguistics, MA Education), founder of Advanced English and Exams, is a full-time teacher specialising in higher levels.
