The Official Guide to PTE Academic Teacher Notes
Scope and Sequence
Introduction
These Teacher Notes have been specifically designed to accompany the Official Guide to PTE Academic and
provide teacher support. The Notes are arranged in a series of 15 lessons, each of which focuses on one or two
of the PTE Academic item types, plus 2 suggested recap lessons.
The lessons take a step-by-step approach to skills building across the series through scaffolded practice and
spiral learning. After completing all lessons, test takers will have practiced all item-related skills as listed in the
Official Guide to PTE Academic and gained a thorough understanding of the PTE Academic item types.
Lesson plans 1–15
Overview page
Each lesson plan begins with an Overview page detailing the skills and item types practiced in the lesson and
the related pages of the Official Guide to PTE Academic. It also lists the lesson objectives and the materials that
need to be prepared.
Skills practiced
The skills listed on the Overview page are those practiced while teaching the item type(s) introduced in the
lesson. In many cases these skills are identical to the skills tested by the item type(s) (and as listed in the related
pages of the Official Guide to PTE Academic). In some cases, the activities in the lesson also provide practice of
additional skills.
Preparation
Most of the materials needed for the lesson are provided in the form of worksheets included at the end of the
lesson plan. These can be photocopied for class use. Other materials may include pages or selected sections from
the Official Guide to PTE Academic that teachers may need to copy and/or adapt as necessary.
Activities
All activities are described in easy-to-follow steps with Extension activity ideas supplied where appropriate. The
aim of each activity, and the skills practiced, are listed clearly above the activity steps, along with the materials
needed.
Recap Lessons
Two recap lessons have been planned for this series of lessons: the first after lessons 1–7, and the second after
lessons 8–15. However, the steps suggested in these lessons can be implemented at any stage in the course with
the necessary amendments made.
The recap lessons should be used to enable test takers to review, share and discuss any problems or queries they
may have about the item types covered up to that point. Test takers should be encouraged to work together to
find useful solutions and strategies for helping them deal with these problems.
It is important to give test takers time in these lessons to share information among themselves and to find
their own solutions. The task of the teacher is to be a facilitator for the test takers’ sharing and problem-solving
process.
The time needed for the recap lessons (or the number of recap lessons necessary) will depend on the needs of
individual classes and students and their level of skill in each area.
