OET Language Course
This series of classes is not part of the syllabus and you do not need to watch all the classes live. We provide these classes as an added extra to help students struggling to remember the basic of English grammar that they learned when they were in school. The classes are very popular but you do not need to watch all the classes. Watch the classes you want and leave what you know already.
| Week 1 | Verbs, Subjects & Objects, Modals |
In Week 1, SET start with the fundamentals of English grammar: verbs, subjects and objects. Towards the end of the week, modal verbs are also introduced in this context and studied thoroughly.
| Week 2 | Question Grammar |
In Week 2, the OET Language course covers the correct grammatical formation of questions such as: Wh- + Aux. + S + verb, etc. This is an essential class for students when it comes to OET Speaking.
| Week 3 | Nouns, Gerunds, Noun Phrases, Articles, Quantifiers |
In Week 3, nouns, gerunds (ING), noun phrases, articles and quantifiers are covered in class as SET work their way through some of the key mechanics underlying the English language. This is essential for students who do not feel confident using words like ‘some’, ‘the, etc.
| Week 4 | Tense – Perfect v Past |
In Week 4, SET go through the Perfect and the Past Tenses: when and how they should be used, their forms, their meanings, and many other important aspects thats students of OET often find challenging.
| Week 5 | Tense – Perfect & Future |
In Week 5, the Perfect tenses are continued in this week along with Future tenses. Understanding the Perfect tenses and how they sit along site other important tenses is a key part of being able to use English grammar, competently.
| Week 6 | Passive |
In Week 6, the Passive Voice is introduced and this is taught for the entire week. This is a very big topic in OET as the Passive Voice is often used in the OET Writing exam more than the Active Voice.
| Week 7 | Sentence Structure – Conjunctions |
In Week 7, SET cover sentence structure in relation to conjunctions. Conjunctions are words like ‘and’ and ‘but’ that are often used to connect independent clauses, and hence this is an essential topic for students of OET.
| Week 8 | Listing Grammar |
In Week 8, the course covers the grammar of ‘listing’. A list is sentence type that allows users to put many ideas together. For example, “Mrs Green experienced anxiety, vomiting, and nausea”. This is a very useful structure when it comes to OET Writing.
| Week 9 | Sentence Structure – Relative & Participle Clauses |
In Week 9, Relative and Participle Clauses are introduced and taught within an OET context: these two essential structures are an important part of being able to write long natural sentences in OET with precision and accuracy.
| Week 10 | Prepositions & Verb Patterns |
In Week 10, prepositions and verb patterns are taught to allow students to avoid making some of the more common errors relating to OET Writing that students often make. Should we say “he stopped playing” or “he stopped to play”? Or can we say both? This class will tackle such issues and much more.
| Week 11 | Prepositions, Verbs, Nouns, Adjectives |
In Week 11, the course builds on Week 10 by covering prepositions again but this time in the context of verbs, nouns, and adjectives. This is a useful part of the course and it allows students to make their writing and speaking much more accurate and natural sounding.
| Week 12 | Passive Gerunds / Used to / Phrasal Verbs |
The final week of the OET Language course deals with the ‘Passive Gerund’, as well as ‘used to’, and phrasal verbs. This is the final part of the OET Language syllabus and it tackles some essential aspects of English grammar.
