                        CRITERIOS ESPECÍFICOS DE CORRECCIÓN

TIEMPO: 1 hora y 30 minutos
La prueba consistirá en el “análisis” de un texto de un idioma extranjero (el inglés en este caso), del
lenguaje común, no especializado. El alumno dispone de dos opciones para contestar (A y B). Debe
escoger sólo una de ellas. A partir del texto propuesto, el estudiante realizará un comentario personal y
responderá a cuestiones relacionadas con el texto, que serán planteadas y respondidas por escrito en el
mismo idioma, sin ayuda de diccionario ni de ningún otro manual didáctico. El texto contendrá alrededor
de 250 palabras y su comprensión no exigirá conocimientos especializados ajenos a la materia de la
prueba. La dificultad del texto estará controlada, a fin de permitir al alumno que realice la misma en el
tiempo previsto. La puntuación total del examen será de 10 puntos. Al comienzo de la prueba se incluirán
unas instrucciones generales para la realización de la misma en lengua castellana. El resto de la prueba
estará totalmente redactada en inglés, y el alumno usará exclusivamente la lengua inglesa en sus
respuestas.
Valoración objetivos de cada una de las preguntas:
Pregunta 1: Hasta 2 puntos. Se trata de medir exclusivamente la comprensión lectora. El alumno deberá
decidir si dos frases que se le presentan son verdaderas o falsas, copiando a continuación únicamente el
fragmento del texto que justifica su elección. Se otorgará 1 punto por cada apartado. Se calificará con 0
puntos la opción elegida que no vaya justificada.
Pregunta 2: Hasta 2 puntos. Se pretende comprobar dos destrezas: la comprensión lectora y la expresión
escrita, mediante la formulación de dos preguntas abiertas que el alumno deberá contestar basándose en la
información del texto, pero utilizando sus propias palabras en la respuesta. Cada una de las preguntas
valdrá 1 punto, asignándose 0,5 puntos a la comprensión de la pregunta y del texto, y 0,5 a la corrección
gramatical de la respuesta.
Pregunta 3: Hasta 1 punto. Esta pregunta trata de medir el dominio del vocabulario en el aspecto de la
comprensión. El alumno demostrará esta capacidad localizando en el/los párrafo/s que se le indica un
sinónimo adecuado al contexto, de cuatro palabras o definiciones. Se adjudicará 0,25 por cada apartado.
Pregunta 4: Hasta 2 puntos. Con esta pregunta se pretenden comprobar los conocimientos gramaticales
del alumno, en sus aspectos morfológicos y/o sintácticos. Se presentarán oraciones con huecos que el
alumno deberá completar/rellenar. También podrán presentarse oraciones para ser transformadas, u otro
tipo de ítem. Se adjudicará 0,25 a cada “hueco en blanco”, y en el caso de las transformaciones o ítems de
otro tipo se concederá 0,5 con carácter unitario.
Pregunta 5: Hasta 3 puntos. Se trata de una composición -de 100 a 150 palabras- en la que el
alumno podrá demostrar su capacidad para expresarse libremente en lengua extranjera. Se
propondrá una única opción y se otorgarán 1,5 puntos por el buen dominio de la lengua –léxico,
estructura sintáctica, etc.- y 1,5 por la madurez en la expresión de las ideas -organización,
coherencia y creatividad.

INGLÉS CRITERIOS ESPECÍFICOS DE CORRECCIÓN TIEMPO: 1 hora y 30 minutos La prueba consistirá en el “análisis” de un texto de un idioma extranjero (el inglés en este caso), del lenguaje común, no especializado. El alumno dispone de dos opciones para contestar (A y B). Debe escoger sólo una de ellas. A partir del texto propuesto, el estudiante realizará un comentario personal y responderá a cuestiones relacionadas con el texto, que serán planteadas y respondidas por escrito en el mismo idioma, sin ayuda de diccionario ni de ningún otro manual didáctico. El texto contendrá alrededor de 250 palabras y su comprensión no exigirá conocimientos especializados ajenos a la materia de la prueba. La dificultad del texto estará controlada, a fin de permitir al alumno que realice la misma en el tiempo previsto. La puntuación total del examen será de 10 puntos. Al comienzo de la prueba se incluirán unas instrucciones generales para la realización de la misma en lengua castellana. El resto de la prueba estará totalmente redactada en inglés, y el alumno usará exclusivamente la lengua inglesa en sus respuestas. Valoración objetivos de cada una de las preguntas: Pregunta 1: Hasta 2 puntos. Se trata de medir exclusivamente la comprensión lectora. El alumno deberá decidir si dos frases que se le presentan son verdaderas o falsas, copiando a continuación únicamente el fragmento del texto que justifica su elección. Se otorgará 1 punto por cada apartado. Se calificará con 0 puntos la opción elegida que no vaya justificada. Pregunta 2: Hasta 2 puntos. Se pretende comprobar dos destrezas: la comprensión lectora y la expresión escrita, mediante la formulación de dos preguntas abiertas que el alumno deberá contestar basándose en la información del texto, pero utilizando sus propias palabras en la respuesta. Cada una de las preguntas valdrá 1 punto, asignándose 0,5 puntos a la comprensión de la pregunta y del texto, y 0,5 a la corrección gramatical de la respuesta. Pregunta 3: Hasta 1 punto. Esta pregunta trata de medir el dominio del vocabulario en el aspecto de la comprensión. El alumno demostrará esta capacidad localizando en el/los párrafo/s que se le indica un sinónimo adecuado al contexto, de cuatro palabras o definiciones. Se adjudicará 0,25 por cada apartado. Pregunta 4: Hasta 2 puntos. Con esta pregunta se pretenden comprobar los conocimientos gramaticales del alumno, en sus aspectos morfológicos y/o sintácticos. Se presentarán oraciones con huecos que el alumno deberá completar/rellenar. También podrán presentarse oraciones para ser transformadas, u otro tipo de ítem. Se adjudicará 0,25 a cada “hueco en blanco”, y en el caso de las transformaciones o ítems de otro tipo se concederá 0,5 con carácter unitario. Pregunta 5: Hasta 3 puntos. Se trata de una composición -de 100 a 150 palabras- en la que el alumno podrá demostrar su capacidad para expresarse libremente en lengua extranjera. Se propondrá una única opción y se otorgarán 1,5 puntos por el buen dominio de la lengua –léxico, estructura sintáctica, etc.- y 1,5 por la madurez en la expresión de las ideas -organización, coherencia y creatividad.
