Aichi Entrance English case studies
Aichi Entrance English · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The Aichi Prefecture Public High School Entrance Examination in English (愛知県公立高等学校入学者選抜 英語) is the English component of the general entrance examination used by Aichi's prefectural high schools to select incoming students. It is taken by students finishing compulsory education in Aichi who wish to enter a prefectural high school, and by some other eligible applicants. It is not a certificate of English proficiency for employment or study abroad - it is a school-admission test, and its result is used alongside other subjects, interview or essay components, and school-specific selection methods depending on the school and course you apply to. The test is built around what Japanese junior high school students study: reading short and longer passages and retrieving information from notices, timetables and leaflets; listening to dialogues and monologues; grammar and vocabulary in context, including sentence reordering; and writing, from sentence-level production to a short guided composition or a response tied to a reading passage. The Aichi Entrance English case studies are 5 cases and about 2,500 words.
