Mid-Term Exam Information (Week 7)Content:The test will be over the five chapters that we talked about in class before the test. During the test, you will have to have a conversation about only 2 of the five chapters.Format:You will have a conversation with another person in your class. Most of you will be in groups of two but some of you may be in groups of three. You will not know your partner until test day. On test day, you will be in a breakout room with just your group and the professor. The professor will give you a chapter, and then you and your partner will have a conversation. In total, you and your partner will have 4 minutes for both conversations (2 minutes for the first conversation, and 2 minutes for the second conversation). If you have three people, your time will be a little bit longer to give you more time. After you have finished your conversations, your test is over!How to Study:Do NOT study from or memorize scripts. Reciting a script does not show an ability to communicate in English. The professor may also change the conversation during the test.The BEST way to study is:Examine each chapter and find the language you need to speak about it.Make a list of all this language for each chapter.Vocabulary, Grammar, PhrasesUse your Textbook, Worksheets, Homework, etc.Practice speaking about the chapter OUT LOUD, preferably with a partner (in person or on the phone), using as much of your lists as possible:A+ AnswersGood Vocab and GrammarKnowing your Time LimitPractice both Questions and AnswersPositive versus Negative AnswersYou will not be allowed to have any notes or scripts during the exam.Each chapter requires certain language.
