2025 BECE English Language Projected Topics (Check Out…)
2025 BECE English Language Projected Topics will go a long way to guide what and how you study. With the date for the 2025 BECE finalized, candidates must keep revising for the examination using all available resources.
The BECE English Language is a core subject, which means that the performance of candidates in the subject will affect their final grades and raw scores, as well as their chances of being placed in their preferred schools and programs.
Failing the BECE English Language or obtaining grade 9 in the subject will prevent students from being placed. To help guide your preparation, let us take a careful look at the 2025 BECE English Language Projected Topics for candidates and English teachers.
Projected Topics and Components of the English Language Paper
Section B, the subjective paper of the subject, covers composition, comprehension, summary, and literature.
For Section B of the 2025 BECE, we project the following areas for essays:
1. Formal Letters
2. Informal letters
3. Speech writing
The above are the most likely English composition areas. WAEC has never administered the BECE without a question on formal letters or informal letters. In some examination years, both have been tested.
Given the not-too-good performance of students in the 2023 BECE and the fact that students struggled with answering such questions, WAEC is projected to ask questions in these two areas.
Teachers must drill their learners to master the features of such letters, as well as be able to detect whether a question relates to formal or informal letters.
Teachers should also help their learners avoid mixing up formal and informal features for the question they choose to answer.
The third essay projected is speech writing, which looks more likely given that it also has important features that candidates often mix up or do not use when they are tasked to write speeches.
Whether students will be tested in these areas or not, it is important that they practice with sample questions and train themselves to brainstorm and plan essays before writing them. Often, students do not perform well in their essay compositions because they are quick to start writing and fail to plan the points to raise and how to explain them, while also missing the relevant features of the essay they are writing.
In all instances, learners must strive to attain the best possible grades for each of the subheadings under which their essays are marked.
For each essay, students must keep in mind the need for good CONTENT, ORGANIZATION, MECHANICAL ACCURACY, and EXPRESSION features for the essay type they choose to write.
Other areas of the English paper candidates cannot avoid are Comprehension, Summary, and Literature. Students must practice how to answer comprehension questions and avoid lifting sentences or paragraphs as answers. Teachers also need to assist their learners not to over-elaborate on answers when responding to summary-related questions. The best practice is that summary answers should not be more than 10 words, and students must not use the words “and” and “because” when answering summary questions. Such linking words only make your answer long and lead to the loss of all or some of the marks allocated to the answer you are providing.
The Literature aspect of Section B of the English paper is an interesting part that is often unpredictable since there are a lot of resources in Cock Crow for WAEC to assess. However, learners need to revise the various poems and write-ups in the book. WAEC is often good at examining BECE candidates on earlier readings in Cock Crow since students often forget them due to a lack of revision. Students and teachers should revise their Cock Crow very well as part of this 2025 BECE English Language Projected Topics tip.
Projected Traditional Topics for Section A
Section A of the English paper cannot be predicted, but constant practice with the type of questions used by WAEC will greatly benefit the students.
For instance, BECE candidates cannot say they are ready for the BECE if they have not prepared and revised with past objective test questions. The English Language Section A has no predictability, but we know that this section, also known as the objective test paper, covers Lexis and Structure (Subject-verb agreement rules), Nearest in meaning, Opposite in meaning, Idiomatic expressions, Vocabulary based on specific industries or issues, and Oral English.
Practicing and revising these areas will help you perform well in Section A of the paper.
Now that you have a fair idea of the 2025 BECE English Language Projected Topics to expect, let us look at a few Section B English Composition questions you can try your hand at.
Formal Letters
1. As the incoming Minister of Education, write a letter to children in Basic Schools explaining three things you want to do as minister to make teaching and learning fun in schools.
2. You have been elected the compound overseer (prefect) in your school. Write a letter to the District Chief Executive (DCE) to explain three challenges the school faces in keeping the school clean and request support.
Informal Letters
1. Your friend has planned not to obey school rules. Write a letter to him explaining three dangers of the choice he has made.
2. You have lost contact with your classmate for the past 4 years but have finally obtained his/her address. Write a letter to him and explain three changes you have made to your life as a student that will be of interest to him.
