thanks to everyone for the suggestions received regarding the LIUK test.

It strikes me that there are two types of individuals taking the LIUK test

a. People who have English as a first language in their native country

and need to 'cram' for the test.

b. People who don't have English as a first language and thus have 

'ESOL needs' as well as needing to learn sufficient knowledge from the

LIUK book to pass the test. 

From my limited experience it seems to me that Phillipinos fit into

the first category. Also I guess that there would be a fair number

of people from the Indian sub-continent who would fit into the 

first category. 

At the moment I am teaching a group that includes students from 

both the above categories. 

I would  be interested to hear what people think about the above

categorisation, and any practical advice about teaching LIUK to 

ESOL students would be welcome.

Regards

Dominic
