G.B.C. テストで役立つ最良の文法、議論、流暢さ、デリバリーを学習します。相手に印象に残せるボキャブラリーを活用しましょう。

Introduction

In order to simulate a variety of types of G.B.C. tests, your teacher will give positive feedback but will interrupt you with more questions. Do your best to stay focused, even when you are interrupted or surprised by a follow-up.

Each test has a different style. This is a warm-type lesson. 
(Not the whole time, just during the practices.)

Student goal:
Focus on adding evidence and reasoning, even after your teacher understands. 

Remember, the goal is to showcase your best English. It's not just to make the test admin understand. In fact, the test admin is known to not be the one who grades the test! 

Teacher style:
Be as friendly as you can be.

Warn your student that you’ll be friendly. You may interrupt with agreement. They should keep on going!

General guidelines

  • No need to try and win an Oscar. Just do your best to change your style.
  • Typically ask 3-5 questions in a burst, then give feedback. There should only be about 3 feedback sessions during a mock-test, unless you see a benefit of more or fewer.
  • Make up your own follow-up questions based on student answers. 
  • During feedback, pay special attention to the goal of the class. 

Ask the questions below; skip the ones you feel don't suit the lesson or the level. 

Remind your student that they need to relax and answer the questions as they would in a business situation. 

Student-specific goal

Ideally, establish a customized goal for your student. View the most recent G.B.C. score sheet and find a low score that you can teach to. Otherwise, you can use the default—using your best vocabulary.

Use your best vocabulary means: 

  • Add detail using words and phrases you are confident with. Many Japanese people are familiar with a lot of business vocabulary and idioms. Use that language as much as possible. 
  • Avoid topics that you are not confident about. You can give relatively short answers to one question if you expand a lot on the next. 
Practice

Answer the questions your instructor has for you.
