• Toetsweek!

Tip 1: Oriënteren / voorspellen

Vóór je gaat luisteren en kijken kun je je oriënteren op het onderwerp door al na te denken over wat voor soort fragment het is. Lees de context

Bijvoorbeeld: een gesprek, een interview, een (nieuws)bericht, een verhaal of reclame.

Als je de vragen en de antwoorden bekijkt, zie je waarover het gaat. Vraag jezelf af wat je al van het onderwerp weet. Vaak krijg je bij een kijktoets een inleiding die je op weg helpt.

Tip 2: Eerst de vraag lezen

Lees eerst de vraag voor je gaat luisteren.

Je weet dan waar je op moet letten tijdens het luisteren.

Tip 3: Blijven luisteren

Als je in het begin van het fragment een woord hoort dat ook in een van de antwoordopties staat, denk je soms dat je het antwoord al weet. Maar....

Blijf dan toch tot het eind geconcentreerd luisteren! Soms is zo’n woord een afleider en hoor je het juiste antwoord pas op het eind.
