Are you preparing for the C1 Cambridge (CAE) exam? In this article, you can find plenty of Word Formation exercises to practise for Part 3 of the Reading and Use of English Paper. Practise for your exam with our free C1 Word Formation exercises and check your answers. First, you can start with the C1 Word Formation Sentences exercises, as they are easier, and then you can move on to the text activity (which is like the one in the official exam). Let’s get started.

Cambridge C1 Word Formation

What is C1 Word Formation?

C1 Word formation refers to Part 3 of the Cambridge Reading and Use of English Paper (CAE or C1 Advanced). You are given a text with 8 gaps, which you have to complete using the stem words (they appear in bold, next to the text). You might have to:

  • add a prefix
  • add a suffix
  • add both a suffix and a prefix
  • make a compound noun
  • change the spelling

Your objective is to first, think about what part of speech is needed (noun, adjective, adverb, or verb) and then correctly change the stem word. Let’s have a look at an example:

Example: _______________ information, such as fake news can unfortunately affect public opinion to a great degree. (accurate)

As you can see here, we need an adjective to describe the noun information. The sentence talks about fake news, so we need the opposite of accurate. We add the prefix in-, and our answer is ready: inaccurate.

C1 Word Formation Exercises (Sentences)

Let’s start practising! To make the task easier, the first exercises are not a complete text, but different sentences. In parentheses, you can find the words that you need to change. Complete the exercises first and then click on the corresponding section to check your answers. Make a list of the most challenging ones so that you can revise them later.

  1. I can either join you for lunch at the restaurant or _______________, we could grab a quick bite at the café nearby. (alternative)
  2. The _______________ of the negotiations was a mutually beneficial agreement for both parties involved. (come)

C1 Word Formation Tips

Aiming for a high score? Let us give you some tips for C1 Word Formation success:

  • Establish what part of speech best fits the gap (noun, adjective, adverb, or verb).
  • Make sure you understand what the text is about. This is especially important when it comes to negative prefixes or suffixes.
  • Practise a bit every day and make lists of the new words you find. Don’t expect to learn a huge list of words one week before the exam.
  • Always answer, even if you are not sure! You might be lucky and guess correctly, and if not, you don’t have to worry as there are no negative marks.

The post Classroom Language Posters for the EFL classroom appeared first on PolygloTopia.

Learning classroom language is essential for EFL/ESL students, as is a great opportunity for them to communicate in English in real-life situations. A lot of questions/phrases we use to communicate in the classroom are repeated in almost every lesson.

By decorating the classroom with classroom language posters, you offer students both extra support and the motivation to actively use English. This way, even if they don’t remember how to say something, they have a reference they can use without the teacher’s help. Thus, they gain more confidence and are more likely to use English in order to communicate in the classroom.

Polyglotopia's Classroom Language Posters

We have put together a selection of common classroom language expressions and questions, and created posters, all available for free download in PDF format. The visuals that accompany the expressions can help students remember their meaning, but translation can also be used depending on the school’s policy. Below you can find a list of the expressions we included as well as the reason why it is important for students to know.

Our Collection of Classroom Language Expressions:

Clarification and Comprehension:

These expressions encourage students to seek clarification and signal their understanding or need for repetition, vital for maintaining comprehension. It might happen when the teacher explains Grammar or at any point of the lesson as the students might not know the meaning of the words. They should be able to express the fact that they don’t understand and also signal when the explanation was sufficient.

"I don’t understand." ➔ " Got it!"

"Can you repeat that please?"

Embracing Curiosity and Learning:

There’s nothing wrong with admitting you don’t know something. Students should be able to express this and view it as an opportunity for learning. They are usually  happy to share something they know or an idea they have thought of, so again, it’s crucial to know how to express it.

"I don’t know." ➔ "I know!"

Language Inquiry:

These indispensable phrases empower students to inquire about new vocabulary, aiding both communication and vocabulary expansion. We have added an Easter Egg in the posters, the Greek word “πολύγλωσσος”, which translates to “polyglot” in English.

"How do you say...in English?"

"What does...mean?"

"How do you spell...?"

Navigating the Lesson:

These expressions aid students in navigating lesson tasks and transitions.

"I’ve finished."

"What page are we on?"

"What do I do next? "

"Can you check my work?"

"Can we pack our things now?"

Promoting Positive Interactions:

These phrases foster positive peer interactions, emphasizing cooperation, kindness, and assistance within the classroom.

"Please, be kind."

"Can you help me, please?"

"Can I have a...please?"

Ready to decorate?

This concludes the collection of questions/sentences we have considered essential to be in every ESL/EFL classroom wall. Do you use posters with classroom language in your classroom walls? What other expressions would you include to the list? Let us know!
