SACE Stage 2 Bosnian Continuers study plan

Map the Domain 1 and Domain 4 syllabi into a one-page checklist of assessable skills, then rank each skill by how heavily it appears in past-style tasks you build yourself

Read two Bosnian narrative texts of roughly 400 words each and annotate every inference you make, marking which textual clue justified it

Build a personal glossary of 40 Bosnian terms for interpretation and analysis (for example zaključiti, nagovijestiti, suprotstaviti) and use at least 15 of them in written sentences

Record a five-minute spoken summary in Bosnian of one text's main idea and check your own recording against the text for accuracy

Analyse three short Bosnian texts of different genres (news report, personal essay, literary excerpt) and write a paragraph per text identifying purpose, audience, and tone

Distinguish fact from opinion in each text by underlining and labelling at least eight statements per text

Practise paraphrasing four dense Bosnian sentences into simpler Bosnian without losing meaning

Compare two texts on the same topic and write 150 words in Bosnian on how their emphases differ

Draft and rehearse a three-minute spoken opinion in Bosnian on a cultural topic, using at least four discourse markers to structure the argument

Write a formal email and an informal message in Bosnian on the same request and list five register differences between them

Interview yourself aloud on Bosnian cultural practices (slava, sevdalinka, coffee culture) and note where your vocabulary ran out

Convert your vocabulary gaps into 25 new flashcards and drill them to recall within three seconds

Complete a timed 60-minute mixed practice set you write yourself: one unseen text with inference questions, one structured writing task, and one spoken prompt

Self-mark against explicit criteria you define in advance for content, accuracy, and range, and record a score per criterion

Rewrite your weakest written answer after feedback and annotate each change you made

Re-record your weakest spoken answer and compare fluency markers such as pauses and repairs against the first version

Read a longer Bosnian text of 600 to 800 words and produce an outline in Bosnian that captures argument structure rather than content summary

Identify and explain five stylistic devices in the text (for example metaphor, irony, repetition) with quoted evidence

Research one aspect of Bosnian cultural or historical context referenced in the text and write 120 words in Bosnian explaining how it shapes meaning

Summarise the same text in 80 words and then in 40 words to practise compression

Write two full-length analytical essays in Bosnian under timed conditions of 45 minutes each, each with a clear thesis and quoted support

Deliver a four-minute prepared talk in Bosnian on a cultural theme and field six impromptu follow-up questions from a study partner or recording

Practise turn-taking by recording a simulated dialogue in which you argue both sides of a debate in Bosnian

Edit both essays for cohesion, replacing weak connectors with precise ones and logging each substitution

Sit a full self-built mock examination covering all four domains in a single 2.5-hour block with no notes

Mark the mock against the official weighting of 25 percent per domain and calculate a weighted total

Diagnose the two lowest-scoring question types and write a targeted repair plan for each

Rebuild and re-answer the five questions you lost the most marks on within 48 hours

Drill the two diagnosed weak areas in four 30-minute focused sessions and log accuracy before and after each

Rehearse spoken responses to 12 unpredictable prompts in Bosnian with 30 seconds of preparation each

Consolidate a final one-page error sheet of recurring mistakes in grammar, register, and inference logic

Deliver one polished five-minute spoken presentation in Bosnian that integrates cultural knowledge with textual analysis
