Stage 6 Continuers - exam preparation

As the HSC written exams approach, Stage 6 students will be busy doing final preparations. The Stage 6 Continuers – answering listening and reading questions resource can assist teachers and students during this final preparation period. Students often demonstrate strong ability in the target language that is not necessarily reflected in their ability to answer listening and reading questions in English. This resource provides strategies to enhance students' ability to understand exactly what the exam questions are asking and explicit strategies to answer them appropriately. It unpacks the key words from NESA's A Glossary of Key Words that appear in listening and reading questions, from those requiring a literal understanding of the text to ones which require a deeper understanding. Although it is targeted specifically for Continuers students, the resource also applies to skills required of Beginners students in exams.
