Okinawa Public High School Entrance Examination — English Exam Content Outline
Listening Strategies (聞き取り)
Audio dialogues, picture-based questions and announcements delivered in English within the 50-minute period. The official 実施要項 confirms the paper includes a 聞き取り (listening) component. This bank adapts the underlying skills into transcript-based comprehension items, since printed transcripts cannot reproduce listening under time pressure.
Vocabulary & Grammar (語彙・文法)
Parts of speech, tense, modal verbs, infinitives, participles, relative pronouns, conjunctions, sentence patterns and idioms, with yearly testing of 動詞の不規則変化 (irregular verb forms), at MEXT junior-high level.
Reading Comprehension (長文読解・対話文)
Long passages and dialogues with questions on main idea, detail, inference, tense and context, using short English text since the tested skill is English reading.
Writing & Composition (英作文・条件付き作文)
Sentence reordering, Japanese-to-English translation judgment, topic-sentence selection, connectors and short composition planning; this bank teaches the underlying grammar and idea selection rather than the writing task itself.
Communication & Situational Use (スピーチ・手紙・案内・看板)
Speeches, letters, notices, posters and signs; understanding the purpose, main point and key details of practical English texts.
