About the Author: Jackie Bolen

I taught English in South Korea for 10 years to every level and type of student. I've taught every age from kindergarten kids to adults. Most of my time has centered around teaching at two universities in Cheonan and Busan. These days, I'm teaching teenagers and adults in Vancouver, Canada. In my spare time, you can usually find me outside surfing, biking, hiking, or snowshoeing.

In case you were wondering what my academic qualifications are, I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology. During my time in Korea I successfully completed both the Cambridge CELTA and DELTA certification programs. With the combination of almost 15 years teaching ESL/EFL learners of all ages and levels, and the more formal teaching qualifications I've obtained, I have a solid foundation on which to offer advice to English learners.

I hope that you find this book useful. I would love it if you sent me an email with any questions or feedback that you might have.

How to Use this Book

This book is designed to help you build a bigger vocabulary, which is essential for the CELPIP exam. If you want to get a high score on this exam, it will be necessary to know this kind of language.

To use this book, I recommend doing one lesson per day, instead of all of them at one time. This will help you to remember the material. Do the practice exercises, and try not to cheat by looking at the answers!

Use a vocabulary notebook, and be sure to write down any new words that you learn. Review them frequently and consider making some flashcards. Push yourself to use this new vocabulary when speaking and see if you can find them when watching English TV or movies, or reading.

Make sure you know how to pronounce any new word that you learn. Look on YouTube or Google, How to say _____ to find out. This will help you get a higher score on the speaking section.

This book is one way to expand your vocabulary range. You might also consider extensive reading and listening as well. Find things to listen to (podcasts, movies, TV shows) or read (books, magazine, newspaper articles) that are at your level, or just slightly below. The key is to read or listen just for fun and to not have to use a dictionary all the time. This will not only help you become more familiar with English vocabulary but it'll also help you improve your grammatical accuracy as well.

Be sure to do some practice tests (search on Google for CELPIP practice test) and record yourself for the speaking section to review later. Try to use the new vocabulary that you've acquired in this book.

The CELPIP general is the longer one that covers reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It's a bit more expensive. The CELPIP LS only has listening and speaking, and is a bit
