Another one of my projects is the course to help students pass the life in the UK test. This, for those of you who don't know, is a 24 question multiple choice test about things such as the history of immigration, society, work, education and employment in the UK. There are some really useful and interesting things covered. Equally there is some, how shall we put it, less interesting items. I have spent the last few months researching the test and it's questions and I am now in the questionable position of presenting the, often quite dry, information in a way that will be appealing and memorable to the people studying to take the test.
For some people, what is essentially memorising a list of facts, this will be relatively straight forward. For others I think less so. I personally would find it quite hard to remember everything. So I am trying to find a balance between giving information with assessments to test comprehension and cement knowledge and putting students in a situation where they are directed to specific websites in order to find the information themselves I am hoping that this range will appeal to different types of learners and make the course accessible to anyone that might need to take it.
Presentation, like with my IELTS course, is a ever present issue which I am currently battling with.
