CA 6 Assessment
CA6 is worth 20% of your Final CA mark. See Appendix 1 for the assessment criteria.
In order to pass Continuous Assessment, you must participate in the tasks in all six CAs.
Pre-task 6.1 16/5/1 7 – 18/5/1 7
- What’s in a name? Part 1 self-correcting exercises
Start this CA by doing the exercises in What’s in a name? Part 1 in Materials in the classroom. They will help you widen your vocabulary, revise grammar areas and you’ll read and listen to ideas about the topic in the assessed task.
Don’t forget to share different vocabulary items, expressions and grammar points that you have learnt in the I’ve learnt something today! folder in the Forum.
- Do a quiz about psychologists
Look at the quiz which your teacher will post in the classroom. Do you know the names of these famous psychologists? What do you know about them and their work? Post your answers in your own words to the Forum > CA6 Quiz folder. Don’t worry if you don’t know who these psychologists are because your teacher will post the answers to the quiz in a few days.
Post your video in Langblog > CA6 Aptronym yourself!
Try to incorporate vocabulary and grammar that you have studied in the self-correcting exercises in What’s in a name? > Part 1 Vocabulary, Communication Strategies and Pronunciation.
Remember you should prepare some notes but you must use your own words and you must not read directly from a prepared script, from the Internet or a book as that is considered to be plagiarism. Try to sound as natural and spontaneous as possible.
NB: It is your responsibility to check the quality of the recording and repeat the activity if necessary. If you have any problems using Langblog, click on "Help" in Langblog.

Pre-task 6.2 23/5/1 7 – 25/5/1 7
For Task 6.2, you will write an essay about a topic related to the field of psychology. To prepare, do the following pre-task activities.
- What’s in a name? Part 2 self-correcting exercises
Start by doing the exercises in What’s in a name? Part 2 in Materials in the classroom. They will help you widen your vocabulary, revise grammar areas and you’ll read and listen to ideas about the topic in the assessed task.
Don’t forget to share different vocabulary items, expressions and grammar points that you have learnt in the I’ve learnt something today! folder in the Forum.
- Prepare to write your essay
There are different types of essays and for this CA activity, you are going to write a discursive essay , sometimes referred to as a “for and against” or an “argument” essay. As with all essays, the structure is very important: there should be a clear introduction , the main body and a conclusion.
In a discursive essay, the introduction should clearly indicate what you are going to write about, why you are writing about it and how the topic will be presented. The main body should include two opposing points of view. One way to organise the main body is to present arguments in favour in one paragraph and arguments against in a separate paragraph. Finally, the conclusion should sum up the main points in your essay.
Look at the following links for more information about essay writing:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/standard/english/writing/discursive_writing/revision/4/ http://www.wikihow.com/Write-an-Essay-Introduction http://www.wikihow.com/End-an-Essay
One key feature of a good essay is effective linking of ideas. From the self-correcting exercises, you have come across a variety of common linking words and expressions, see Appendix 2 for more.
The language you use in a discursive essay must be formal. For instance, you should avoid using contractions (e.g. I’m/ It’s etc.) and use full forms instead; you should also avoid using colloquial words/expressions or slang (e.g. kids) and use more formal words/expressions. Further information is in the self-correcting exercises in What’s in a name? > Part 2 Communication Strategies for Writing.
Planning your essay will help you make sure the structure of your essay is clear and logical. Look at Appendix 3 for an essay plan example and notice how the ideas are structured.
Post-task 6.2 28/5/1 7 – 29/5/1 7
In CA2, you wrote an essay about learning online and for Task 6.2, you have written another essay. Look back at your CA2 essay and compare it with the essay you have sent for Task 6.2 and then post a message to the I’ve learnt something today! folder answering the following questions:
Do you feel more confident about answering essay questions now? Do you think planning an essay helps produce a better essay? Do you feel you can incorporate linking expressions more effectively? Do you think you are able to organise your writing more coherently?
