Item types where the subskill is tested
Each of the twelve units of Language Leader Advanced has activities to develop and practice general English language skills around
a core topic, with sections covering grammar, vocabulary, reading, listening, and speaking and pronunciation. In each unit there is a
scenario focusing on extended speaking practice in a real-life situation, drawing together all the skills learned. There is also a section
on study and writing skills that develops academic English skills, with a focus on the discourse features of written English. The activities
develop the core English language skills without which academic English tasks cannot be completed. You will also find individual
activities similar to PTE Academic tasks, such as filling in gaps in sentences, transcribing missing words from a recording, correctly
identifying facts in an audio recording, and answering multiple choice questions from reading and listening.
Each unit is divided into double-page lessons on a sub-topic, to allow flexibility and ease of use, and this map reflects this grouping of
activities and input material. The subskills of PTE Academic and the item types where they are tested are therefore grouped according
to the double-page lessons to assist you to use the double-page arrangement as part of effective test preparation. However, through
each unit there is a carefully staged introduction of new language as well as recycling of previous language, so there is some advantage
in a systematic approach to each unit as a whole. In order to keep this mapping manageable, only the core subskills of each activity
relating to specific item types are mapped, so, for example, a reading activity may also practice understanding academic vocabulary
although this may not be specifically listed here for those pages unless there is specific vocabulary work.
The Language Leader Advanced Teachers Book provides objectives for each unit and explains the rationale and plan of each unit
and lesson. It also provides the answers to tasks in the Students Book, and has a Test Master CD-ROM for the creation of class tests.
A Workbook with further practice is also available.

A full description of the Language Leader Advanced course book with supplementary activities and notes for teachers is available at the
publishers website: www.pearson.com.au

Overview of PTE Academic

PTE Academic is a computer-based test of academic English, designed to provide information about the English language level of
test takers who wish to study or work in an English-speaking environment. It takes approximately three hours to complete, and is
administered in a single session. Test takers respond to between 70 and 91 individual tasks, across 20 different item types, in the four
communicative skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening.
Test takers register for a test and can view their results online. However, they must go to a test center to sit the test, under secure
conditions. PTE Academic uses automated scoring, providing greater reliability. Scores are usually available within five days, and test
takers indicate the programs that they wish their results to be sent to, after which the recognizing institutions securely download the
PTE Academic scores.
PTE Academic has three parts, with an introduction and optional break:

The score on each individual item

contributes to the overall score as well
as to scores on relevant communicative
skills. For speaking and writing tasks,
scores also contribute to the enabling
skills scores (grammar, oral fluency,
pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary,
written discourse). A typical score report
gives detailed information to test takers
and recognizing institutions.

Each item type tests a range of language subskills, which are mapped in this guide to activities in Language Leader
Advanced. The PTE Academic subskills are:
