Word Formation: Use of English in CAE, CPE
About course
Word formation is one of those topics that learners often overlook. It’s the difference between recognising a word and actually using it correctly in context — especially in exams and academic English.
This course is designed for C1-level learners and focuses on word formation, a key component of Cambridge English exams.
It is ideal for preparing for:
- CAE (C1 Advanced)
- CPE (C2 Proficiency)
In particular, it targets word formation tasks in the Reading and Use of English paper.
You will learn how to:
- change word forms accurately depending on context
- recognise parts of speech through word structure
- avoid common mistakes in word formation
This course will help you stop guessing and start understanding how words are built and how they work. Word formation will stop being a “difficult topic” and become one of your strengths.
