Oulun yliopiston englantilaisen filologian kurssitarjotin 2018-2019 . http://www.oulu.fi/englantilainenfilologia/
Tällainen on pääsykoe Ouluun . Opettele siis todellakin kirjoittamaan monipuolisesti ja tarkasti lukioaikanasi. Lue paljon kaikenlaisia vaativia tekstejä ja kirjallisuutta enkuksi tietenkin. Moni menee takki auki koklaamaan, mutta häntä voi löytyä koipien välistä, jos osaaminen ei ollutkaan varmalla pohjalla. Äikänkursseilla varmistat kaikinpuolisen tekstitatojen hallinnan, joka edesauttaa menestystäsi mm. alla kuvatussa kokeessa.
Tällaista sanotaan Oulun valintakokeen sisällöstä ja arvioinnista:
Valintakoe on kirjallinen ja koostuu kahdesta tai kolmesta erityyppisestä englanninkielisestä kirjoitustehtävästä, jotka vaihtelevat pituudeltaan (n. 300–500 sanaa). Kirjallisen kokeen maksimipistemäärä on 40 pistettä.
Valintakoe perustuu koetilanteessa jaettavaan aineistoon. Aineisto voi koostua lyhyistä tieteellisistä teksteistä, kaunokirjallisesta materiaalista, sanoma- tai aikakauslehtiartikkeleista tai visuaalisista materiaaleista. Aineisto käsittelee kielentutkimusta, kielenoppimista sekä englanninkielisen maailman kulttuuria ja kirjallisuutta.
Kirjallinen valintakoe on pakollinen, eikä siihen lähetetä hakijoille erillistä kutsua.
Valintakokeen tavoitteena on testata hakijoiden kykyä käsitellä aineiston esittämää tietoa, ja soveltaa sitä kirjoitustehtävien ohjeiden mukaisesti. Voidakseen tulla hyväksytyksi hakijan tulee saada jokaisesta tehtävästä vähintään 50 % pisteistä. Jos hakija jättää tyhjän vastauspaperin johonkin tehtävään, muita tehtäviä ei arvioida, vaikka niihin olisi vastattu. Kirjoitustehtävien arvioinnissa kiinnitetään huomiota seuraaviin seikkoihin:
- sisältö – käsittelemiesi asioiden täsmällisyys ja asiaankuuluvuus
- kieliasu – kielen virheettömyys, täsmällinen ja sujuva ilmaisu, sanaston monipuolinen käyttö, lauserakenteiden hallinta
- tekstien jäsentely ja rakenne – argumentoinnin looginen jäsennys, tekstin johdonmukaisuus
Englantilaisen filologian hakija voi valituksi tultuaan saada sivuaineeksi ilman lähtötasokoetta ruotsin kielen, germaanisen filologian (saksa) tai ranskan kielen, jos hänellä on ylioppilastutkinnossa ao. kielistä vähintään arvosana laudatur tai eximia cum laude approbatur. Ruotsissa hakijalla on oltava vähintään keskipitkä oppimäärä, saksassa ja ranskassa ei ole oppimäärärajoitusta. Arvosana ei saa olla viittä vuotta vanhempi.
Germaanisen filologian sivuaineoikeuden voi saada vaihtoehtoisesti myös muulla todistuksella osoitetulla kielitaidolla (taitotaso A2.2).
Hakukohteeseen hyväksytyille ilmoitetaan sivuainevalinnasta opintojen alussa. Kieliaineissa järjestetään myös erillisiä sivuainekokeita, joihin yliopiston opiskelijat voivat osallistua.
Englanninkielinen versio pääsykoekriteereistä:
Lähtötasokoe / The Entrance Examination
The entrance examination is in English. It is a written examination that consists of two or three writing tasks of approximately 300 words. Materials, which may pertain to linguistics, applied linguistics, literature and/or culture, will be provided at the examination. The maximum number of points in the examination is 40.
The aim of the entrance examination is to test the applicant’s ability to grasp the content presented in the examination materials and apply it accordingly in the writing tasks. To be considered for admission, the applicant must score at least 50% of the available points in each task.
The assessment of the examination answers will focus on the following issues:
1. content – the relevance and accuracy of the answers;
2. language – the grasp of vocabulary and grammatical precision, the ability to write clearly, fluently and flawlessly;
3. structure and organization – the logical presentation and overall coherence of argumentation.
