English Language (9670) 試験対策

よくあるミス

1. 1high影響する配点: 10Understanding texts (Language and context)

   Analyzing typography, layout, or visual features in isolation without linking them to specific grammatical choices or pragmatic meanings.

   回避方法: Ensure every visual or graphological comment is integrated with analysis of core structural grammar elements (e.g., word class, syntax) to show how register and meaning are co-constructed.
2. 2high影響する配点: 12Understanding texts (Language and context)

   Writing sequential, disjointed accounts of comparative texts (e.g., analyzing all of Text A, then all of Text B) rather than integrating comparisons.

   回避方法: Structure your essay around thematic or linguistic frameworks (such as modal systems, lexical fields, or syntax patterns), comparing both texts side-by-side in every paragraph.
3. 3high影響する配点: 15Language and social groups: writing (Language and society)

   Presenting sociolinguistic essays (Unit 2 & 3) as anecdotal, general observations of personal assumptions rather than using academic research.

   回避方法: Ground every argument in documented sociolinguistic research, models, and frameworks (such as Difference, Dominance, or Diversity models when discussing gender).
4. 4high影響する配点: 15Directed writing (Language and context)

   Failing to sustain the required creative persona and format markers (such as headlines for articles or direct addresses for talks) in Directed Writing.

   回避方法: Use explicit layout conventions (subheadings, bullet points, speech structures) and strictly maintain a unified stylistic register across your entire 400-word piece.
5. 5medium影響する配点: 8Learning language (Language variation)

   Treating child spoken errors or developmental orthography as simple, careless mistakes.

   回避方法: Identify variations as system-driven 'virtuous errors' (such as morphological overgeneralizations or phonetic spelling progress), demonstrating rule-governed development.
6. 6medium影響する配点: 20Written unit (Language exploration)

   Failing to state a clear, manageable analytical aim and structured framework at the outset of the Unit 4 independent investigation.

   回避方法: Open Unit 4 with narrow research aims and explicit hypotheses, then define your structural methodology by stating exactly which linguistic levels you will investigate.
