Exam Contents for Oposiciones Profesores inglés Secundarias

Like everywhere else, the exam in Navarra 2020 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 1A. Practical Language Exam

Two Parts

• Various questions pertaining to the functional and practical use of language in terms of pragmatics, lexico-semantics, morpho-syntax and/or phonology.

• Linguistic and/or literary Text Analysis.
• The exam will last a maximum of 3 hours.

Part 1. B. Essay writing on one topic from the 1993 list

This year 2020, you will have to write one essay on one of the 5 topics which will come out in the draw from the total list of topics. You have two hours to do it.

Preparing for Part 1 of the Exam

Remember to follow the advice given to you here and in our Introductory Course. You must use a blue or black ink pen and must follow the indications provided by the panels. Neat handwriting is essential, as illegible essays or those showing a personal “mark” will be declared null.

Each Part (1A & 1B) represents 50% of the total mark of the first part. You need to get at least 2.5 out of 10 in each part to qualify. And a minimum of 5 marks in this Part 1 to pass to the second stage of the Competitive Exam (Oposición).

In general, the Guidelines we give you at the Poppies Foundation Plus (Exam Part 1A & Exam Part 1B) are those mentioned in the Official Gazette of Navarra.

You can also practise all the above with Our books “Volumen Práctico” and “Analysis de Textos”. Also with the materials for language practice, we cover at Foundation Plus & the Building Blocks. You may also find our post text analysis of help.
