- The international exam paper as a genre and the importance of specific language in argumentative writing: words, expressions and phraseology to use and to avoid.
- The construction of cohesive and solid argumentative texts through different dynamics (individually, in pairs, in groups, whole-class).
- The relevance of (self-)assessment criteria.
- Discussion of frequent problems related to teaching to write literature-related answers required by international exams
