use of English:- The aim of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME) syllabus in Use of English is to prepare the
candidates for the Board's examination. It is designed to
test their achievement of the course objectives, which are
to:
(1) communicate effectively in both written and spoken
English;
(2) have a sound linguistic basis for learning at the tertiary
level. The syllabus consists of two sections:
I. Comprehension/Summary
II. Lexis, Structure and Oral Forms
1. Comprehension/Summary
(a) description
(b) narration
(c) exposition
(d) argumentation/persuasion
(i) Each of the four passages
to be set (one will be a cloze
test) should reflect various
disciplines and be about 400
words long.
(ii) Questions on passages
will test the; following:
The general novel to read
this year is titled; "The Last
Days at Forcados High
School" by A.H. Mohammed
will test the following:
(a) Comprehension of the
whole or part of each
passage.
(b) Comprehension of words,
phrases, clauses, sentences,
figures of speech and idioms
as used in the passages.
(c) Coherence and logical
reasoning (deductions,
inferences, etc)
(d) Synthesis of ideas from
the passages.
Candidates should be able
to:
i. identify main points in
passages;
ii. determine implied
meaning;
iii. identify the grammatical
functions of words, phrases
and clauses and figurative /
idiomatic expression;
iv. deduce or infer the
writer's opinion, mood,
attitude to the subject
matter, etc.
NOTE :
By synthesis of ideas is
meant the art of combining
distinct or separate pieces
of information to form a
complex whole, that is, the
ability to make
generalizations from specific
ideas mentioned in the
passages. Such
generalizations involve
identifying the mood or tone
of the writer, his attitude to
the subject matter, his point
of view, etc. In this regard,
synthesis is a higher-level
skill than summary.
2. Lexis, Structural and
Oral Forms
2.1 Lexis and Structure
(a) synonyms
(b) antonyms
(c) homonyms
(d) clause and sentence
patterns
(e) word classes and their
functions
(f) mood, tense, aspect,
number, agreement/concord,
degree (positive,
comparative and
superlative) and question
tags
(g) punctuation and spelling
(h) ordinary usage (words in
their denotative or dictionary
sense), figurative usage
(expressions used in ways
other than literal) and
idiomatic usage
(expressions whose
meanings cannot be
determined through a mere
combination of individual
words) are to be tested.
NOTE :
Idioms to be tested will be
those expressed in standard
British English (i.e those
with universal acceptability)
2.2 Oral Forms
(a) Vowels (monophthongs
and diphthongs
(b) Consonants (including
clusters)
(c) Rhymes (homophones)
(d) Stress (word, sentence
and emphatic)
(e) Intonation
NOTE:
Sentence stress should not
be mistaken for emphatic or
contrastive stress. It
involves the placement of
normal stress on content
words (nouns, main verbs,
adjectives and adverbs) in
an utterance. Here, no
emphasis or contrast is
intended. For example, the
words 'see' and 'soon' would
normally be stressed in the
sentence, I'll see you soon'.
Candidates should be able
to:
i. use words and
expressions in their ordinary,
figurative and idiomatic
contexts;
ii. determine similar and
opposite meanings;
iii. differentiate between
correct and incorrect
punctuation and spelling;
iv. identify various
grammatical pattern in use;
v. interpret information
conveyed in sentences.
Candidates should be able
to:
i. distinguish correct from
incorrect vowels;
ii. differentiate correct from
incorrect consonants;
iii. identify silent letters,
vowel length; consonant
clusters, etc.
iv. determine appropriate
uses of stress in words
(monosyllabic, disyllabic and
polysyllabie) and in
sentences (emphatic/
contrastive);
v. detect partial and
complete rhymes.
