European Baccalaureate Language 2 study plan

Map the s7 preliminary-mark weighting: list every graded component (coursework, tests, oral participation, Pre-Baccalaureate mock) and its share of the 50% domain

Audit your last two marked written pieces against the official assessment criteria and record each criterion you lost marks on

Draft a weekly s7 evidence log template that captures date, task type, criteria targeted and teacher feedback

Set three measurable s7 targets (for example: raise written accuracy criterion from 2 to 3 of 4) and write them into the log

Produce two timed practice essays in the target language under Pre-Baccalaureate conditions and self-mark them with the official grid

Build a personal error bank of the 25 most frequent grammar and lexicon slips from those essays

Rewrite both essays correcting every logged error and note the rule behind each correction

Rehearse the spoken component of the preliminary mark by recording a five-minute monologue and transcribing it for error analysis

Convert the error bank into a spaced-repetition deck of at least 60 cards covering grammar rules, collocations and discourse connectors

Analyse the structure of the five written European Baccalaureate papers and list the task type and time allowance for each

Practise one paper under full exam timing and log where time was lost

Draft a reusable planning skeleton for the essay-type paper (introduction, argument, counter-argument, conclusion) in the target language

Complete a full five-paper written mock across two sittings and mark it against the published criteria

Identify the two papers with the weakest scores and write a targeted remediation list for each

Memorise 40 high-frequency academic connectors and discourse markers and use at least 15 in a new essay

Practise summary and reformulation tasks from source texts to strengthen comprehension-linked writing

Rewrite the weakest two mock papers using the remediation list and compare scores before and after

Assemble a bank of 12 literary and current-affairs texts suitable for the oral examination and annotate each with three discussion angles

Record a 10-minute oral commentary on one text and self-assess fluency, range and accuracy

Draft and memorise a 90-second personal presentation for the oral examination opening

Deliver three timed oral mock examinations covering all three oral papers, each recorded and transcribed

Reduce hesitation markers and false starts by 50% between the first and third recording

Practise defending an interpretation under questioning by answering 10 challenging follow-up prompts

Build a pronunciation and intonation drill list from the transcripts and rehearse it daily

Sit a second full written mock and a full oral mock under authentic timing and double-correction conditions

Apply the double-correction habit by marking your own work twice, once immediately and once after 48 hours, and reconcile differences

Refine the oral presentation and commentary using feedback from week 6

Consolidate the error bank and review deck, retiring cards answered correctly three times

Run a final light review of the error bank, connectors and oral corpus without introducing new material

Rehearse exam-day logistics for all three domains: timing, materials and oral preparation routine

Complete one short timed written task and one short oral task to confirm readiness

Finalise the s7 evidence log so any remaining coursework or Pre-Baccalaureate component is documented
