El nuevo modelo de examen ISE II entrará en vigor en Septiembre de 2015.
Los cambios fundamentales para ISE (todos los niveles) son:
- Desaparece el portfolio (3 redacciones que eran una parte de la nota final).
- Se introduce una prueba de listening.
- Cambios en la estructura de “Reading & Writing” y “Speaking”.
Por tanto, todos aquellos candidatos que deseen presentarse al examen con la estructura actual deben tener en cuenta que la última convocatoria que habrá en Toledo será en Junio (pago de las tasas a mediados-finales de Marzo), y en Madrid en julio (pago de las tasas a mediados-finales de abril).
En e-pap formación disponemos actualmente de dos grupos preparatorios de ISE II para la convocatoria de Junio en Toledo.
- Lunes y Miércoles de 10:30 a 12:00 horas.
- Lunes y Miércoles de 19:00 a 20:30 horas.
En ambos grupos se realizará un repaso de la gramática exigida por Trinity para el nivel b2, se practicarán las destrezas de speaking y writing, así como la realización del portfolio y simulacros de examen.
Si deseas incorporarte a estos grupos puedes contactar con nosotros en el 925 234 615 y asistir a una clase de prueba si lo deseas.
