Exam Contents for Secondary & Language School English teachers

Like everywhere else, the exam consists of 2 parts.  You need to pass the first in order to be a candidate for the second.

Part 1

This part consists of two:

Part 1.A. Practicum

To prepare for this part, we highly recommend our  “Volumen Práctico”, which includes:

• Text analysis with answers to questions similar to those included in previous calls for Secundarias and, for Escuelas de Idiomas:
  • Text analysis -including communicative functions and text-types
  • Various activities on language practice.
  • Translations

• In the Building Block 1 & 3 Courses, we actually use the texts which came out in the two previous calls, and the questions have been “inspired” based on what candidates told us about the exam. You may also find our post text analysis of help.

So, and as usual, I am counting on you, candidates, to get back to me once you’ve done the exam and let me know the specific questions so that we can incorporate them into future texts, as we did in 2016 & 2017, where we incorporated some of the aspects covered in Autonomous Regions such as Canarias and -as said before- Galicia.

• The time assigned for Part 1A in the call Oposiciones Galicia 2018 is of three hours maximum.
• This part represents 60% of the total mark for Part 1.

Part 1. B. Essay

This year 2018, you will have to write one essay on one of the 5 topics which will come out in the draw from the list of 69. You have two hours to do it. Remember to follow the advice given to you here and in our mini-course. This part represents 40% of the total mark of the first part.

• Important: The candidates will be called on a specific date to read out loud their essay and the practicum in front of the panel.

Part 2

You need to hand in your syllabus design when the panels call the candidates who have passed to the second part of the competitive exam.

All the requirements your syllabus design needs to meet, together with the elements you need to include in your oral presentation are described in the Official Gazette of Xunta de Galicia.  The Syllabus Design needs to be 60 pages long (maximum), excluding annexes, front and back pages. The font is 12 Arial, double spacing. Check all the details in the Official Gazette.

For the Oral Presentation of the Rationale behind your Syllabus Design you have 20 minutes and for the Unit 30 minutes. Then, there may be a debate so that the panel can ask you questions. The Rationale will represent 40% and the Unit 60% of the total mark for this Second Part.

Particularly if you are a Secondary School teacher, but it can also give you ideas if you go for Language Schools.
