No part of this publication may be  \nreproduced without the prior permission of Pearson Education Ltd.  \nIntroduction  \nThe PTE Academic Preparation Course Outline is a foundation document to help with the design of preparation courses for  \nPTE Academic. It provides a list of the suggested focus areas for lessons around which a preparation course can be built.The course outline is based on the main communicative skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing and their subskills as listed in the Official Guide to PTE Academic. Each PTE Academic subskill is presented in order, with correlation to the PTE Academic item types where each subskill is tested. Because the course outline follows the organization of the Official Guide, subskills are listed where they occur  \nin the Official Guide; for example, note-taking from a lecture is included as a writing skill although it is an integrated skill with listening. Who is this document for?  \nThe course outline has been produced for anyone wishing to design a preparation course for PTE Academic. It provides support by indicating the areas for each subskill where classroom activities and accompanying resources can be developed. For example, for the speaking subskill of‘Developing complex ideas within a spoken discourse’, activities and materials can be added to focus lessons on the following areas: using notes to plan an oral presentation; prioritizing and ranking ideas; showing the connection between main ideas and supporting details; linking ideas with spoken discourse markers; using referencing in spoken discourse to link ideas.  \nHow to use it  \nIn developing resources and activities for lessons using the ‘Areas for lesson focus’ in the course outline, it may be simplest to incorporate the subskills directly as the core of a skills-based syllabus, but they can also be incorporated into a topic-based syllabus.  \nThe focus areas listed for each subskill may provide one or several lessons, and some subskills may usefully be combined in one lesson. For example, for listening skills, the focus areas listed for ‘Summarizing main idea’ will provide material for more than one lesson, and may usefully be combined or revised in combination with other subskills such as ‘Identifying the topic’ and‘Identifying supporting points or examples’, as well as ‘Understanding academic vocabulary’ or ‘Inferring the meaning of unfamiliar words’. Some repetition of focus areas across subskills is inevitable, but an attempt has been made to keep this to a minimum so that there is maximum flexibility in choosing course components. Because as many resources and activities for the focus areas may be developed as needed, courses of a suitable length can be developed to meet requirements.  \nAdditional resources  \n[You will find a wealth of preparation resources on our website at www.pearsonpte.com](You will find a wealth of preparation resources on our website at www.pearsonpte.com).  \nCore language skills for PTE Academic preparation courses  \nThis section of the course outline provides information about the PTE Academic subskills, the item types that test these skills and suggested areas for lesson focus to develop them. Information is presented under the skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing.  \nListening  \n\n| Subskills | Item types | Areas for lesson focus |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Identifying the topic | • Speaking: Re-tell lecture\u003Cbr>• Speaking:Answer short question\u003Cbr>• Listening: Summarize spoken text\u003Cbr>• Listening: Multiple choice, choose multiple answers\u003Cbr>• Listening: Highlight correct summary\u003Cbr>• Listening: Multiple choice, choose single answer\u003Cbr>• Listening: Select missing word | • recognizing signal language that introduces the topic of a lecture\u003Cbr>• identifying main ideas\u003Cbr>• distinguishing main ideas from details\u003Cbr>• inferring the situational context of what you hear |\n| Summarizing the ma","cbCairDlJcKvru3o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairDlJcKvru3o","pdf",219102,"English","# Introduction\n# Who is this document for?\n# How to use it\n# Additional resources\n# Core language skills for PTE Academic preparation courses\n## Listening","[{\"question\":\"How can the outline be used to design a preparation course syllabus?\",\"answer\":\"It can be used as the core of a skills-based syllabus by incorporating subskills directly, or it can be adapted into a topic-based syllabus using the listed areas for lesson focus.\"}]","PTE Academic Preparation Course Outline - V2 - Core language skills and lesson focus | PDF",1790839439,76]
