• ensure that one of the texts used in their research is a literary source.

During the Discussion examination

Students should:

• support their discussion with evidence from the texts that they have sourced
• express and justify opinions and points of view on the topic of in-depth study
• reflect on their research findings to help them express opinions or develop new perceptions about their topic of in-depth study
• manipulate language to respond in a coherent and logical way to the questions asked
• use a variety of relevant vocabulary, grammar, sentence structures and expressions
• avoid responding with pre-prepared responses that do not address the question asked
• avoid relying on general knowledge about the topic of in-depth study.

In better responses, students were able to:

• ensure that sources chosen were relevant to the topic of in-depth study
• compare the validity and reliability of their texts
• refer to their sources and comment on how each source contributed to their understanding of the in-depth topic
• discuss how their research impacted on their views and helped them gain a better understanding of the in-depth topic, for example, តាមរយៈការស្រាវជ្រាវ ដោយផ្អែកលើឯកសារនេះ អត្ថបទនេះជួយឱ្យខ្ញុំយល់ច្បាស់អំពី បើប្រៀបធៀបអត្ថបទទាំងបីនេះ យើងឃើញថា and ក្រោយពេលសិក្សាស្រាវជ្រាវ អ្នកសិក្សាបានសំដៅអត្ថប្រយោជន៍នៃការការពារបរិស្ថាន ព្រោះវាមានឥទ្ធិពលដ៏ធំលើជីវិតសត្វ និងមនុស្ស។
• develop an analytical approach to texts studied rather than responding with memorised information from the texts

• use specific vocabulary and expressions relating to the topic
• use complex sentences and suitable idiomatic expressions to strengthen and support their opinions, for example, ដូចមានបញ្ជាក់នៅក្នុងឯកសារ អត្ថបទស្រាវជ្រាវទាំងអស់នេះអាចចាត់ទុកបានថាជា and បើសិនជាមនុស្សគ្រប់គ្នារួមគ្នាជំរុញសុខភាពសាធារណៈ និងថែរក្សាសុខុមាលភាព បរិយាកាសនឹងក្លាយជាកន្លែងរស់នៅដ៏ស្រស់ស្រាយសម្រាប់សេរីភាពទាំងអស់។

• avoiding listing or recounting information without expressing an opinion on their research
• supporting their discussion with evidence sourced from the texts rather than from general knowledge or anecdotal stories told to them by family and friends.
