E10 E - My final English 10 performance review
E10 E - My final English 10 performance review
Mini-description: Bring together complex listening/viewing, reading, speaking, writing and mediation tasks. Use evidence to analyse your performance, revise selected work and build a realistic final improvement or transition plan.
Level: English as a first foreign language, Grade 10, Baden-Württemberg, E-level. Work mainly in English: understand → respond → analyse → communicate → feedback → revise → transfer. German is used only where mediation or short support is useful. No full translation.

Einleitung
This is your final English 10 performance review. You do not just collect scores. You show what you can do, where the evidence is strong, where errors still repeat and what your next step is. The focus is clear communication, source awareness and independent revision.
The competence mix follows the Grade 10 areas of listening/viewing, reading, speaking, writing, mediation, language resources and text and media competence.
Privacy and fairness: Use only fictional profiles or applications. Recordings are voluntary and should remain private unless you actively agree to share them in class. Do not upload recordings, personal data or classmates' work to external services. AI tools are optional, teacher-approved aids only: keep your own drafts, name any tool you used, and verify claims and sources yourself.
Media start: Where are you now?
Watch the short input. Do not take notes during the first minute. Then write one sentence: What could change in my future learning or work, and what English skill will help me handle that change?
Source: BBC Learning English, What is the future of work? Use the video for listening first; the transcript is a backup and later reading source: BBC Learning English transcript

I-can goals
- I can understand the main ideas, key details, attitude and purpose in age-appropriate authentic audio, video and written sources.
- I can analyse how a source uses evidence, wording, visuals, examples and omissions.
- I can speak clearly, react to other views, support claims and ask useful follow-up questions.
- I can write coherent texts with precise linking, suitable register and independent revision.
- I can mediate selected information for a purpose and audience instead of translating everything.
- I can review my own work with evidence, feedback and an error log, then set realistic next steps.

Activate prior knowledge
Before you start, rate each skill from 1 to 4 in your notebook: listening/viewing, reading, speaking, writing, mediation, source criticism, vocabulary/grammar, pronunciation. Add one piece of evidence for each rating. At the end, repeat the rating and explain any change.
Listening and viewing challenge
Task A – future of work
Watch the BBC video twice.
- First viewing: note the main question, two viewpoints and the overall message.
- Second viewing: collect four details, two useful phrases and one statement you would verify before repeating it.
- Analyse: How do the speakers make a complex topic accessible? Consider examples, tone, vocabulary support and balance.
- Transfer: Give a 45-second spoken summary without reading a script.
Task B – media literacy
TED-Ed's How to choose your news asks how readers can deal with many news sources. While watching, note advice that helps you evaluate information rather than simply accept it.
Then compare the BBC and TED-Ed videos: purpose, audience, structure, evidence, language and what each source leaves open.
Optional extension: lateral reading
Use the idea of lateral reading on one claim from a source approved by your teacher. Open other reliable sources and record what confirms, challenges or adds context to the claim.
Reading: compare two authentic sources
Source A: Read the BBC transcript linked above after you have completed the listening task.
Source B: Read selected sections of Work 4.0 chosen by your teacher.
Create a short comparison grid with these categories: main idea – evidence – degree of certainty – purpose – intended audience – date/context – questions still open. Then write a 120–150 word comparison paragraph. Do not decide that a source is trustworthy only because it looks professional: explain what you checked.
Context vocabulary
Use vocabulary in meaningful sentences, not isolated lists. Your core review words are: evidence, reliable, claim, viewpoint, purpose, audience, register, coherent, revise, feedback, mediate, transition.
Add six topic words from the media set. For each new word, record a collocation or example sentence. Remove words you cannot use accurately.
Pronunciation: intelligibility first

Practise sentence stress, thought groups and key word stress. Aim for easy-to-follow speech, not imitation of one accent. Mark the stressed syllable in: perFORmance, Evidence, reLIable, mediAtion, coHERent, tranSItion.
Use a teacher-selected short section if the full live lesson is too long. Record only if you want to. A private 30-second before/after recording is enough. Listen for clarity, pausing and emphasis.
Speaking: final review conference
Prepare a three-minute performance review and a follow-up discussion.
- State one strong skill and support it with portfolio evidence.
- Explain one recurring difficulty and show how you have tried to fix it.
- Compare two sources or perspectives from this aiMOOC.
- Give one next-step target and a concrete action.
- During discussion, respond to a counterpoint, ask one follow-up question and clarify one idea if needed.

Useful discussion moves: The evidence suggests … / I agree up to a point because … / Another interpretation is … / What makes you say that? / Could you clarify …?
Writing: final performance review
Write 300–350 words for a teacher or future English course. Use this structure:
- Evidence: What can you now do well? Refer to at least two pieces of work.
- Analysis: Which pattern still limits you most: content, organisation, language accuracy, range, register or source use?
- Revision: Show one specific change you made after feedback.
- Transition plan: Set two goals, three actions and one way to check progress.
Keep your first draft. Your final version should be recognisably yours.

Mediation: purpose before wording
Fictional scenario: Your fictional exchange partner Jamie Parker is considering a school or training pathway in Germany and asks what they should know before making a choice. Your teacher gives you a short German information text about a real educational pathway.
Write an English message of 120–160 words for Jamie. Select what matters for Jamie's question, explain culture-specific terms briefly and leave out irrelevant details. Do not translate sentence by sentence.
Checklist: purpose – audience – relevant content – clear explanation – suitable tone – no invented facts.
Functional grammar
Use grammar to make meaning precise.
- Modals and hedging: may, might, could, is likely to, seems to – useful when evidence is limited.
- Conditionals: If I practise short timed responses twice a week, I will become more fluent under pressure.
- Relative clauses and participle structures: connect details without producing long, unclear sentences.
- Passive voice: use it when the process matters more than the actor, not simply to sound formal.
- Reporting verbs: argues, suggests, explains, questions, reports – choose the verb that matches the source.
- Cohesive devices: however, therefore, while, whereas, in addition – use them only when the logical link is real.
Help when you get stuck
Use the lightest support that works.
- Rewatch or reread one short section before using a transcript or dictionary.
- Paraphrase an unknown word before searching for it.
- Use a monolingual learner dictionary for meaning, collocations and pronunciation.
- Ask: What is my claim? What is my evidence? Why does it matter?
- For speaking, use keywords instead of a full script.
- For writing, revise ideas and structure before correcting every small language error.
Feedback and error analysis

Give feedback on the work, not the person. Use evidence + effect + next step: Your example supports the claim; the second paragraph is harder to follow because the link is missing; add a sentence that makes the contrast explicit.
Keep a compact error log with five possible categories: meaning/word choice – verb/tense – sentence structure – cohesion/register – pronunciation. Choose the two patterns that recur most often. Correct them in a new sentence and check whether the correction changes meaning or clarity.
Register: match language to situation
After watching, rewrite one informal message as a polite school or work-related message. Then explain two register changes. Do not make the language artificially difficult; precision and appropriateness matter more than rare words.
Source and AI check
Before you submit, check every factual claim that matters.
- Can you name the source and its purpose?
- Is the date relevant?
- Can a second reliable source confirm the key point?
- Are you separating fact, interpretation and your own judgement?
- If AI was used with permission, did you keep your own draft, identify the use, verify the output and reject unsupported claims?
- Did you avoid sending personal data, recordings or other people's work to an external system?
Can-do check and follow-on course

| Skill | I can now … | Evidence | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listening/viewing | identify main ideas, details, attitude and purpose | one annotated task | one new authentic clip per week |
| Reading | compare content, viewpoint and source features | comparison paragraph | read across two sources |
| Speaking | argue, react and clarify without a full script | review conference | short timed discussions |
| Writing | organise, support and revise a coherent text | first and final draft | one focused revision target |
| Mediation | select and adapt information for an audience | Jamie task | practise purpose-based selection |
| Source criticism | check claims through context and other sources | source audit | use lateral reading routinely |
90-day transition plan: Choose one receptive goal, one productive goal and one learning habit. Make each action small enough to repeat. Your next course may be upper-secondary English, vocational English or another pathway; transfer the same cycle: understand → respond → analyse → communicate → feedback → revise → transfer.
