WEEK 13 · 3 HOURS

Advanced ICFES-Style Simulation

Focus: Critical reading · inference · fallacies · grammar

Integrate advanced critical reading, logical relationships, grammar and argument analysis in a final simulation.

Hour 1Input, visual explanation, listening
Hour 2Analysis, dialogue, interactive practice
Hour 3PC challenge, quiz, reflection
HOUR 1 · Input & Critical Comprehension60 MIN
Goal: Understand vocabulary, the visual concept and the listening message before producing academic language.
1A · Vocabulary Lab

Listen to every word. Choose four and create one climate-related sentence for each.

inference
inferencia
Infer meaning from evidence.
intention
intención
Identify why the author wrote the text.
distractor
distractor
A distractor looks plausible but is wrong.
evidence
evidencia
Return to evidence before choosing.
fallacy
falacia
Detect faulty reasoning.
connector
conector
Identify logical relationships.
justify
justificar
Explain why an answer is correct.
review
revisar
Review mistakes after the test.
1B · Visual Explanation

Final critical-reading strategy

Identify what SKILL is tested, return to EVIDENCE, eliminate distractors and justify the ANSWER.

Example 1

Purpose question → ask why the text was written.

Example 2

Fallacy question → test the logic, not the vocabulary.

Example 3

Connector question → identify the relationship between ideas.

1C · Listening First, Transcript Later

Before listening: Predict three academic words you may hear.

Question: What should students classify after reviewing an error?

In an advanced reading test, familiar vocabulary is not enough. A question may ask you to infer the author’s position, identify a fallacy or recognize why a connector was used. Read the question first, identify the skill being tested and return to the text for evidence. After the simulation, review each error and classify it: vocabulary, inference, logic, grammar or test strategy.

Hour 1 checklist
HOUR 2 · Analysis & Academic Interaction60 MIN
Goal: Analyze examples, interact with a partner and apply the unit concept through decisions rather than copying.
2A · Guided Dialogues

Listen, perform one dialogue, then replace one example with a climate issue from school, Villavicencio or Colombia.

Dialogue 1
Student: I chose the option with the same word as the text.
Teacher: That is not enough. What skill was the question testing?
Dialogue 2
Partner A: I think this is a fallacy question.
Partner B: Then we should test whether the conclusion follows from the evidence.
Dialogue 3
Student: My answer was wrong because I misunderstood despite.
Teacher: Good diagnosis. That is a connector and logic error, not only vocabulary.
2B · Interactive Practice
Identify the tested skill

Choose the best category. Then check your result before continuing.

HOUR 3 · PC Challenge, Assessment & Reflection60 MIN
Goal: Apply the concept to a climate-action problem, complete the unit assessment and identify the next learning goal.
