National tests - English 6 2018

This is where you can find instructions, information and dates for the national test of English 6 that will be held during the spring term of 2018.

The national test is divided into three parts:

Speaking - Will be held during regular classes

A test where you will sit with 1-2 classmates and discuss something specific. You will get 15 minutes to prepare for the test by reading the instructions in the test papers, taking some notes and thinking through what you could say about the topic. You will then have the discussion with your group for 15 minutes in another room. The conversation will be recorded.

What is graded?

• Your communication skills: how you interact with people (commenting on what they say, listening to them, agreeing or disagreeing, making the conversation "move forward")
• Your language; grammar and vocabulary (ordförråd) and if you have a good flow in your language (pronunciation and fluency)
• The contents - if you are able to discuss something thoroughly or just on the surface (ytligt eller på djupet). Try to explain what you mean and say more than just "This is what I think." 

Writing - DATE: 27th of April, 100 minutes

You will write an essay about something specific. Make sure you read the instructions carefully and make a bullet point list for yourself to organize/structure your writing.

What is graded?

• Your language; grammar and vocabulary (ordförråd) and if you have a good flow in your language (fluency)
• The contents - if you are able to write about something in a thorough (utförligt) or just shallow (ytligt) way. Try to explain and give examples of what you mean and say more than just "This is what I think." 
• The structure - if you can write pedagogically so that the reader becomes interested and can easily follow your train of thought (din tankekedja). If you have correct paragraphs and punctuation (kommatering, dvs punkt, komma osv. på rätt ställe)!
  
  

Reading and listening comprehension - DATE: 2nd of May, 90+50 minutes

The reading and listening tests are 90 and 50 minutes long respectively. You will get a 20 minute break in between. Here your reading and listening skills are tested and it is important that you try to write as clearly as possible. Spelling errors are not affecting your grades as much here.
