Voorwoord
Examenidioom Engels v w o geeft leerlingen de mogelijkheid hun woordenschat uit te breiden, waar-
door ze zich zowel op het centraal examen leesvaardigheid en het schoolexamen luistervaardigheid
als op de schoolexamens gespreksvaardigheid en schrijfvaardigheid voorbereiden. Het isdoor zijn
aard en opzet uitstekend geschikt voor zelfstudie.
Bij de samenstelling zijn ender meer de volgende keuzes gemaakt:
> Er iseen duidelijk onderscheid aangebracht tussen idioom dat in examens passief beheerst dient te
word en o m de tekst te begrijpen en idioom dat in spreek- en schrijftaal door de leerling zelf actief
wordt gebruikt. De woorden worden gescheiden aangeboden, in receptieve en productieve lijsten.
> Elk hoofdstuk begint met een receptieve lijstvan 40 woorden. De opgenomen woorden zijn vooral
woorden die in de examens van het centraal examen voorkomen. Vervolgens zijn in een productieve
lijst15 woorden opgenomen die de leerling in schrijf- en spreektaal actief meet kunnen toepassen.
Naast deze 15 woorden zijn per hoofdstuk ook telkens twee taalhandelingen opgenomen, met elk
tenminste vier varianten, zodat de gebruiker lee rt o m zich juister, correcter en gevarieerder uit te
drukken in bepaalde situaties. De taalhandelingen sluiten aan bij het ERK-niveau 82.
> Het boek bevat 20 hoofdstukken. Het idioom isthematisch gerangschikt. De gekozen thema's
beslaan de meest voorkomende onderwerpen in eindexamenteksten. Bovendien wordt in
een aantal hoofdstukken aandacht besteed aan idioom dat weliswaar niet expliciet ender de
examenonderwerpen valt, maar wel beheerst moet worden o m teksten te kunnen begrijpen,
bijvoorbeeld verbindingswoorden of woorden die omvang of gradatie aangeven. Elk vijfde
hoofdstuk neemt een dergelijk belangrijk woordveld onder de loep.
> Elk opgenomen woord isvoorzien van een reele voorbeeldzin. De voorbeeldzin heeft als functie o m
de betekenis van het woord in een zo duidelijk mogelijke contextte zien.
> Er zijn opdrachten opgenomen waarmee de leerling zichzelf kan toetsen. Per hoofdstuk zijn twee
opdrachten opgenomen bij de receptieve lijsten een opdracht bij de productieve lijst.
> De toevoeging (BE) betekent Brits-Engels, (AE) betekent Amerikaans-Engels.
> Achter in het boek zijn alfabetische woordenlijsten Engels en Nederlands opgenomen, die het
mogelijk maken woorden snel op te zoeken.
Voor reacties, zowel van leerlingen als docenten, houden wij ons graag aanbevolen.

Algemene tips
Tips voor het Centraal Examen
Wat doe j e als j e een woord niet kent in een examentekst?
- Ga na o f je het woord in bijna gelijke vorm vanuit het Nederlands (of een andere taal) kent.
- Heel vaak is het voldoende om ongeveerte weten wat een onbekend woord of bijzondere
uitdrukking betekent. Bepaal welke lading een woord gezien de context heeft: positief, negatief,
instemmend, afkeurend, enzovoort.
- Bekijk of je de betekenis van het woord nodig hebt voor de beantwoording van de vraag.
- Wanneer je denkt dat het belangrijk is dat je de betekenis van een woord moet weten om de tekst
te begrijpen, zoek die dan op in een woordenboek.
Meerkeuze-invulvragen
In sommige teksten is een aantal woorden weggelaten. Jij moet het juiste alternatief kiezen dat
moet worden ingevuld.
Ga als volgtte werk:
- Lees eerst aIleen de vraag, niet de antwoorden.
- Lees de alinea waaruit het woord is weggelaten.
- Bepaal de inhoud van de zin waaruit het woord is weggelaten. Wanneer de inhoud niet duidelijk is,
lees dan ook de voorafgaande zin en de volgende.
- Probeer te bedenken wat het in te vullen woord in het Nederlands is.
- Vergelijk je vondst met de gegeven alternatieven.
- Wanneer je de betekenis van een van de antwoorden niet kent, zoek die dan op in het woordenboek.
