In tem 1 (multiple choice) we have given 1 point for each correct answer, for learners

have to skim the text and out of a short and quick reading, recognize the type of text and

identify their purpose in reading a text like that. Learners do not need to take much time

to do this as it was seen shortly in class. The simplicity of this task justifies the low

score. This task is given before the text in order to make students read it with a specific

purpose.(2 points)

Strategies covered in this item: identify your purpose in reading a text, skim the text

for the gist and for the main ideas.

In item 2 (true or false) learners need to read the statements and decide whether true or

false and mention what is false with the wrong ones. To complete this part of the test,

they need to skim and compare the statements with the text. Each sentence will worth 2

points, and for the false ones we give 1 point when recognition is correct and another

point when justifying is correct, this score responds to the time spent in classes working

with comprehension tasks (10 points).

and key words)

taking as a base the format of the text of this test. There is specific information that they

have to cover and they need to be aware of their grammar (e.g: I was born in... instead

of I borned in...). This item is worth 6 points, which reflect a point per request plus the

point for grammar. This item was not difficult to achieve while lessons, so we have

decided 6 points according to the time they will need to achieve it.

Strategies covered in this item: use marginal notes, outlines, charts, or semantic mapsfor understanding and retaining information.
