 CRITERIOS ESPECÍFICOS DE CORRECCIÓN

El ejercicio incluirá cinco preguntas, pudiendo obtenerse por la suma de todas ellas una
puntuación máxima de 10 puntos. Junto a cada pregunta se especifica la puntuación
máxima otorgada. La valoración y los objetivos de cada una de estas preguntas son los
siguientes:

Pregunta 1: Hasta 2 puntos. Se trata de medir exclusivamente la comprensión lectora.

El estudiante 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
estudiante 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
y ortográfica de la respuesta.

Pregunta 3: Hasta 1 punto. Esta pregunta trata de medir el dominio del vocabulario en
el aspecto de la comprensión. El estudiante demostrará esta capacidad localizando en el
párrafo 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 pretende comprobar los

conocimientos gramaticales del estudiante, en sus aspectos morfológicos y/o sintácticos.
Se presentarán oraciones con huecos que el estudiante deberá completar o 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 redacción, de 150 a 200 palabras, en la que
el estudiante podrá demostrar su capacidad para expresarse libremente en inglés. 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. Para corregir esta redacción se utilizará la
siguiente rúbrica de evaluación:

Puntuación: de 0 – 3

Cada apartado se valorará entre 0 y 0,5, según se ajuste a lo que figura en el descriptor
de “Excelente” (con la nota máxima de 0,5) o de “Deficiente” (con la nota mínima de
0).
