Get ready!
Well done! You managed to finish the first module of the English
course in the Second Chance Programme.
Now its time to use your learning diary again. In order to be able
to communicate well in a foreign language, you need four basic
skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. During this
module you have made a lot of progress in listening and reading
and some progress in speaking and writing. Which of the two
main skills in this module did you find easier? Which of the four
skills do you think will be the most useful to you in your real life
(for your job, travelling, etc.)? What kind of exercises could help
you improve those skills that you need the most?
Before final assessment, go over each lesson again and review

especially the introductory sections: Can you, Remember!,
Useful language and the final one (Check this!). This will
help you identify the areas where you still need some practice,
so that you will know what to work on. Then, go through the
self-assessment exercises at the end of each unit in the Students
Guide. You probably have already taken some oral and written
tests: go over them again and note especially your teachers
corrections. Make sure you understood what you did wrong and
know what the right answers are. Ask your teacher about
anything which is not quite clear yet.
Next, look at the words and expressions used in each lesson. You
might want to use your class notes or the Vocabulary section at
the end of the Students Guide.
Finally, try to design similar exercises to those in the self-

assessment worksheets. Work with a classmate and exchange
your exercises. Discuss the correct answers together. Whenever
you are not sure about the right answer, check it in the book or
ask your teacher.
Now you are ready for final assessment. More than anything, be
positive about it: it is not meant to sanction insuccess, but to
support your learning. Good luck!
