Final Exam - Integrated Language Learning

This exam assesses mastery of language skills within the context of integrated subject learning. It comprises both written and oral components, focusing on various linguistic areas.

Written Component (Questions 1-6):

Students are presented with six tasks designed to evaluate their command of specific language areas:

1. Writing about a lab experiment on gravity: Requires using past tense (central) and potentially comparative forms (central), while question tags (peripheral) might be present but not essential.

2. Creating a quiz about Whales: Demands the use of question forms (central) and present tense (central); exclamations (peripheral) are unlikely.

3. Designing a poster on the digestive process: Focuses on reported speech (central), conjunctions of time (central), and potentially impersonal pronouns (peripheral).

4. Group activity: Labeling parts of the body: Emphasizes adverbs of frequency (central) for describing habits, language for checking answers (central), and singular/plural nouns (both central and peripheral depending on task).

5. Class discussion about future climate: Requires using modal verbs (expressing possibility/probability - central), vocabulary for expressing feeling (potentially relevant as emotions are discussed, peripheral), and language for expressing opinions (central).

6. Reconstructing a text on glass-making: Involves passive forms (central) to describe processes, sequencing words (central), and potentially superlative forms (depending context, peripheral).
