The end of the year and term end examinations will

test the students skills of reading and writing. Their skills of
listening and speaking will be tested through their class work
by means of continuous assessment.
Q. I & II : Reading Comprehension :
Four passages for comprehension will be given. Each
passage carries 10 marks. Two of the passages will be seen
passages from the text and there will be two unseen
passages. The two unseen passages will illustrate two
different types of writing : journalistic academic or literary.
The questions will test both local and global comprehension.
They will test the students, ability to interpret the text literally,
understand the implied meanings, be able to interrelate factor
offer a personal response and evaluate the point of view
presented in the passage. There will also be questions based
on vocabulary.
Q. III : Textual Question :
The question expects students to be able to interrelate
two or more passages from the text and offer their own
points of view. It will be similar to the questions that appear
in the section of the text entitled Global questions students
will be asked to answer one out of two questions. The
expected length of the answer will be 40 lines.
Q. IV : Grammar :
The aim of this question is to test students knowledge
of functional grammar. Therefore, no isolated sentences
will appear in the question paper.

F.Y.B.A. / 24

The questions will be contextualised. The grammar

questions will be based on the topics specifically covered
in the textbook and those covered in the second year of the
junior college (Std. XII students will be given some choice
in the grammar questions).
Q. V : Writing :
(a) The question expects students to prepare relatively
shorter piece of writing (about 20 lines). For example, a
letter (formal or informals) a report for the newspaper and
advertisement students will be given credit for preparing
a rough draft.
(b) The question expects students to prepare
a relatively longer piece of writing (about 40 lines) for
example, descriptive, narrative or reflective composition, the
review of a film, play or cultural activity and preparation of
speech for a particular purpose. Both (a) and (b) above
will be guided composition and they will be task oriented
activities. There will be at least 50% choice for students
in both (a) and (b).
Note : The format of the question paper covers all the
items in the syllabus as reflected in textbook.
