Advanced (CAE) word formation gets to be quite tricky. You might occasionally get an easy word, but you’ll also get multiple changes and uncommon vocabulary thrown at you.
You can do lessons on negative prefixes, lessons on uncommon suffixes and many other Advanced (CAE) word formation strategies. However, the fact remains that one of the best ways to improve this part of the exam is to go over possible word forms again and again until they start to pop up in your student’s active memories. Be careful though. This can become boring pretty fast if not done right. So, let’s make it fun by converting that repetition into a board game. Everyone loves rolling dice!
