Be prepared to identify parts of speech, parts of a sentence, and sentence structures, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Writing, Speaking, and Listening<\/h2>\n<p>The final section has about the same amount of questions as the reading section. It covers a wide range of topics, including<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Characteristics of the modes of writing (argumentative, informative, narration, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>How task, purpose, and audience influence a story<\/li>\n<li>Writing with <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/praxis\/praxis-core-reading-detail-practice-questions\/\">details<\/a>, organization, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Oral communication<\/li>\n<li>Identifying purpose for writing<\/li>\n<li>Evaluating credibility of resources<\/li>\n<li>Speech and presentation delivery<\/li>\n<li>Effective use of <a href=\"http:\/\/asiasociety.org\/education\/five-ways-use-technology-and-digital-media-global-learning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital media <\/a>for students<\/li>\n<li>Assessing writing, reading, speaking, and listening skills<\/li>\n<li>How to incorporate students\u2019 backgrounds into effective teaching<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The questions in this category consist of the typical multiple-choice questions, as well as, various innovative testing options using audio, video, and other testing strategies.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot of information to cover in order to guarantee that you\u2019re prepared for any questions that may come your way.
