Eiken Writing Worksheets

Eiken writing worksheets for Grade 3, Grade Pre-2 and Grade 2

Here are Grade 2, Grade pre-2 and Grade 3 worksheets I made and used to help students prepare for the writing portion of Eiken. I combined basic essay structure with what I know is required for Eiken writing, and mixed explanations with practice. I made and printed these on Google docs, hopefully they look alright in Word!

I made an "advanced" version for Grade 2 with more explanations for my high level SHS. The others have Japanese explanations from the Eiken exam to help them practice what they would see. However, worksheets are mostly all in English, JTEs translated and explained when needed. Feel free to change or adjust the worksheets, or suggest any changes for myself!

How I taught this:

Lesson 1 - I explained the structure as a hamburger or parfait* (basically their answer needs layers), then I gave them the first activity to think individually, compare with their neighbours and correct all together. For the second activity, brainstorm in groups, but write individually. Lesson 2 or homework - Review structure, and last writing activity do on their own

*One JTE mentioned that the hamburger idea might not be common with students, so for my lower level SHS I explained the structure like a parfait (valid for rural areas, but my high level SHS has a McDonalds 5 min away so I kept the hamburger for them in the advanced worksheet).

EIKEN Grades

About eiken grade 2.

Grade 2 incorporates the knowledge and applied skills acquired up to Grade Pre-2 in a wide variety of real-life situations. This level is aimed at Japanese high school graduates. Examinees are expected to be able to understand and use English at a level sufficient to allow them to take part in social, professional, and educational situations. Grade 2 certification provides a wide range of benefits, such as its usefulness in applying to post-secondary academic institutions and obtaining academic credits, in addition to serving as preparation for the National Center Test for University Admissions. Furthermore, it is widely accepted as a qualification certifying general English ability for studying or working overseas. The examination is divided into two parts, Stage 1 (a written examination including a listening section) and Stage 2 (an interview-format speaking test). From the first administration of the 2016 test, a writing test has been added to the first-stage test.

For those who have taken the Grade 2 test prior to June 2016, please contact EIKEN Study Abroad Information Center online or by calling (03) 3266-6839 to determine whether your scores qualify as Grade 2A. Inquirers will be asked to provide contact details and the examinee number that was issued when they took the Grade 2 test. Results are provided in 3-5 business days, and there is no charge.
