Course Overview

BEGLA 138 Solved Guess Paper is a 17 page PDF prepared by the Unnati Educations IGNOU team for the June 2026 and December 2026 Term End Examinations of Reading and Speaking Skills. It carries 13 questions with complete model answers, mapped block by block, and every single question earned its place by turning up in at least one of the six IGNOU papers our faculty read line by line from June 2023 to December 2025.

Reading and Speaking Skills is a skills paper rather than a memory paper, which is exactly why so many BAG learners misjudge it. They revise phonetics charts nobody asks about and then lose twenty marks on a dialogue that needed nothing more than correct layout. This page shows you what the paper actually repeats, hands you five full solutions to inspect at no cost, and tells you plainly how to get the remaining eight.

What the BEGLA 138 Solved Guess Paper Covers

The file is 17 pages and holds 13 questions, each written out with a full answer in the length the marks demand. Section A technique gets 450 word treatment, the five theory questions get roughly 250 words apiece, and the two dialogue questions come with two worked model conversations each rather than a single specimen.

Answers are written the way an IGNOU evaluator likes to receive them. Every theory answer opens with a one line definition, moves into clean numbered points using the book's own terminology, and closes with an evaluative line. There is no padding, no imported Wikipedia phrasing, and no answer stretched past the mark value.

What the paper deliberately leaves out matters just as much. Full IPA charts, the 44 sounds table and argumentative or persuasive text theory are kept out of the priority list, because none of them has surfaced in the recent sessions. If you want the wider set across other BAG courses, our IGNOU Solved Guess Paper library holds the same treatment for other codes.

  • 13 questions arranged in the exam's own Section A, B and C order
  • Block and section tag printed above every question, so you know where it came from
  • A "last appeared" line under each question showing the exact sessions it was set in
  • Two model dialogues per Section C question, one informal and one formal register
  • A frequency analysis grid covering 29 topics across six sessions
  • Three exam rules pages covering pattern, what to skip and what examiners reward

Five Sample Questions With Answers From the BEGLA 138 Guess Paper

Five of the 13 questions are reproduced below in full, word for word from the PDF, with nothing trimmed. They are drawn from all three sections so you can judge the answer quality across a comprehension technique question, three theory questions and a dialogue question before you decide anything.

Sample 1 of 5. Marking Stressed Syllables (Section A, 10 marks)

Block 4 / Section A. Last appeared in every paper from June 2024 to December 2025.

Exam question: Mark the stressed syllables / stressed words in the following sentences (five sentences are given).

The Rule for Sentence Stress

"Content words (key words) are always stressed; function words are not stressed." — IGNOU Course Material

In a sentence the speaker alternates between stressed and unstressed syllables at regular intervals, with the stresses falling within content words — this is called the Rhythm Rule. A syllable is marked stressed with the mark ( ˈ ) before it, indicating primary stress.

Which words to stress

  • Stressed (content words): nouns, main verbs, adjectives, adverbs, contracted negatives (don't, can't) and question words (who, why, what).
  • Unstressed (function words): auxiliary and modal verbs, personal pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions and articles.
Worked examples of sentence stress from the BEGLA-138 guess paper, with stressed words in capitals
Sentence (ˈ = stressed)Why
Do you have any ˈSISTERS?question word + main noun carry the beat
He ˈBOUGHT a ˈCAR.main verb and noun are stressed; "he / a" are weak
ˈCLOSE your ˈBOOKS.imperative verb and object noun take the stress
She is ˈGOING to ˈSTUDY toˈNIGHT.main verbs and adverb stressed; is/to unstressed
I am BraˈZILian.stress on the strong syllable of the content word

Method in the exam: (1) underline every content word; (2) put the stress mark ( ˈ ) on its strong syllable; (3) leave articles, prepositions, pronouns and helping verbs unmarked.

Conclusion: Identify content words (nouns, main verbs, adjectives, adverbs, question words, negatives) and stress them; keep function words weak. The stressed syllables create the regular beats of English rhythm.

Sample 2 of 5. The Three Main Stages of Reading (Section B, 10 marks)

Block 1 / Section B. Last appeared in December 2024, June 2025 and December 2025.

Exam question: Discuss the three main stages of reading. / What are the various stages of reading a text?

Meaning

"Reading by English language learners can be understood as a skill acquisition process in three stages."

The Three Stages

  1. Elementary Reading: Learners associate the letters of the English alphabet with their sounds and discover the relationship between the alphabet and the spoken language. The focus is on the mechanics of reading — decoding graphic information from words, phrases and sentences — so that the reader can accurately predict the sound systems represented by the letters.
  2. Intermediate Reading: This stage fosters interest in reading and develops the actual reading skill. Readers read silently and confidently, begin to read for academic purposes, and the emphasis shifts to overall comprehension and retention. Pre-reading guidelines (examining titles and headings, predicting, skimming and scanning) and study skills are developed here.
  3. Advanced Reading: Reading of authentic texts for specific purposes. Originals are studied and exhaustive reading becomes important. The aim is to go beyond mere understanding and delve into deeper layers of meaning, forming individual opinions through interpretation, evaluation, criticism and application to other contexts. It leads to complex thinking.

Conclusion: Reading develops from Elementary (decoding letters to sounds) to Intermediate (silent, purposeful reading for comprehension) to Advanced (critical, interpretive reading of authentic texts) — a continuous skill-acquisition process.

Sample 3 of 5. Skimming Versus Scanning (Section B, 10 marks)

Block 1 / Section B. Last appeared in December 2023, December 2024 and June 2025.

Exam question: What is the difference between skimming and scanning? / Describe skimming and scanning as reading strategies.

Meaning

"When we quickly read the text to glean the gist of it, it is called skimming … when we speedily dart through a text to find particular information such as a name, a date etc. it is called scanning."

Point by point comparison of skimming and scanning as set out in the BEGLA-138 guess paper
BasisSkimmingScanning
PurposeTo get the gist, the general sense and organisation of ideasTo locate specific information such as a name, date or figure
Eye movementGlancing rapidly through the whole textEyes wander over the text, not following its linearity, until the item is spotted
What is readOverall tone and intention of the writerOnly the targeted detail; irrelevant matter is rejected
Typical useBrowsing a newspaper or book to see if it is worth readingChecking a table of contents or finding a number in a directory

These two techniques are not mutually exclusive; at times both are blended for quick and efficient reading. For instance, one may skim an article first to decide if it is worth reading, then later scan it to note down a figure or name that must be remembered.

Conclusion: Skimming reads fast for the overall gist; scanning darts through to pick out one specific detail. Both are flexible techniques an efficient reader switches between as the purpose demands.

Sample 4 of 5. Levels of Reading Comprehension (Section B, 10 marks)

Block 1 / Section B. Last appeared in June 2024, December 2024 and December 2025.

Exam question: What is literal comprehension? Explain. / Explain interpretative or inferential comprehension. / Discuss the different levels of comprehension.

Meaning

"There are five categories of reading comprehension that may be taught in a language classroom."

The Five Categories

  1. Lexical Comprehension: Understanding the key vocabulary of a text; without a foreknowledge of the lexicon no real comprehension is possible.
  2. Literal Comprehension: Surface, explicitly-stated understanding — processing factual information, recalling main ideas, sequence of events and stated cause-effect relationships. It is the cornerstone of comprehension.
  3. Interpretive / Inferential Comprehension: Inferring meaning implied beyond what is explicitly stated — "reading between the lines" through convergent (analytical) and divergent (creative) thinking.
  4. Applied Comprehension: Applying the content of the passage to an external idea — drawing comparisons and contrasts, relating the lesson of a story to real life.
  5. Affective Comprehension: Understanding the emotional and social aspects of a text — connecting motive with plot and character development.

Conclusion: Comprehension works at five levels — lexical, literal, interpretive/inferential, applied and affective — moving from surface vocabulary and stated facts to inferred meaning, application and emotional response.

Sample 5 of 5. Informal Telephonic Conversation (Section C, 10 marks)

Block 3 / Section C. Last appeared in June 2024, June 2025 and December 2025.

Exam question: Write a telephonic conversation between two friends (e.g. one persuading the other to join a movie), or a brief telephonic conversation between a daughter studying away from home and her worried parent.

How to Write the Dialogue

"Telephonic communication can be formal or informal depending on the domains where the caller and receiver are situated, the caller's purpose, and the time of the call."

For an informal call use a friendly, spontaneous tone, short turns, greetings and a warm sign-off. Compensate for the lack of non-verbal cues with energy in the wording. Model answer (book-style):

Model 1 — Friends Planning a Movie (Shehnaaz & Kulsum)

Model informal telephonic dialogue between two friends, as printed in the BEGLA-138 guess paper
SpeakerDialogue
ShehnaazHey, it's me! How are you?
KulsumHi Shehnaaz! I'm good, and you?
ShehnaazI'm great! Do you want to join me for a movie tonight? They're showing a new release!
KulsumSounds like fun! What time are we going?
ShehnaazThere's a show at seven in the evening.
KulsumPerfect. I'll buy popcorn if you buy us some coke!
ShehnaazSure thing. See you later!
KulsumCool. See you in a bit.

Conclusion: An informal telephonic dialogue opens with a casual greeting, keeps turns short and warm, conveys energy to make up for the missing non-verbal cues, and closes with a friendly sign-off.

That is 5 of the 13 questions. The remaining 8, including the 20 mark unseen passage method, the formal service and office dialogue with both its models, and the 7 Cs and barriers answer, are in the full PDF.

One thing worth stating plainly, because students ask us this every session. BEGLA-138 is a theory course under the CBCS scheme and there is no practical file, no viva and no lab record attached to it. The whole 100 marks sit in the written term end paper, so the index above is the entire preparation surface. Learners hunting for the older sets should look at the BAG Question Paper collection instead.

Block and Unit Wise Syllabus Map for BEGLA 138 Reading and Speaking Skills

BEGLA-138 runs across 4 blocks and 17 units, and the term end paper draws almost everything from Blocks 1, 3 and 4. The table below lists every unit with the specific topics it feeds into the exam, so you can see at a glance which units repay close study and which ones you can read once and move on from.

The block and unit titles above follow the IGNOU study material for this course, which is hosted on the university's own eGyanKosh repository for BEGLA-138. The exam weight column is our own reading of the last six papers, not an IGNOU classification, and we have said so on the page rather than dressing it up as official.

Six Session Frequency Analysis Behind the BEGLA 138 Important Questions

Every question in the guess paper is backed by a frequency count across six sessions: June 2023, December 2023, June 2024, December 2024, June 2025 and December 2025. A topic is tagged HIGH when it has appeared four or more times or is a recent paper gap, MEDIUM at two or three appearances, and LOW when it has surfaced once.

Two patterns fall out of that grid and both shaped the guess paper. First, Section A has hardened: the passage has been set in all six sessions and the stress question in the last four without a break, so 30 marks are effectively predictable in shape if not in content. Second, Section C stopped rotating after June 2024 and has run one informal plus one formal dialogue for four straight sessions.

You can check the grid yourself against the original papers rather than taking our word for it. Our IGNOU Previous Year Question Paper section carries the same sessions in downloadable form, and the university publishes its own archive on webservices.ignou.ac.in.

BEGLA 138 Term End Exam Pattern and Marks Distribution

BEGLA-138 is a 100 mark, 3 hour paper with three sections, and all questions are compulsory. There is no overall choice, although Question 5 in Section B usually carries an internal "Or" alternative.

Section wise marks distribution and suggested answer length for the BEGLA-138 term end examination
SectionWhat is askedMarksSuggested length
Section AOne unseen passage with comprehension questions, plus one sentence stress question20 + 10 = 30About 450 words for the passage set
Section BFive reading skills theory questions of 10 marks each50About 250 words per answer
Section CTwo conversation or dialogue questions, one informal and one formal208 to 12 natural turns per dialogue

Two habits cost marks here more than weak content does. Writing a 400 word essay for a 10 mark theory question eats the time you needed for Section C, and writing dialogue as running prose instead of the Speaker: line format loses layout marks that were yours for the taking. The pattern above holds across every BEGLA 138 Question paper we have on file since June 2023, so plan your three hours around it.

How We Built This BEGLA 138 Solved Guess Paper

The paper was built backwards from six question papers, not forwards from the syllabus. Our faculty typed out every question from the June 2023 through December 2025 term end papers, tagged each one to its block and unit, and then counted. Only the topics that survived that count went into the 13.

The answers were then written from the IGNOU study material itself rather than paraphrased from other websites. Where the course book gives a definition, that definition is quoted and attributed as course material. Where the book gives a count, such as five categories of comprehension or seven Cs, the count is preserved, because examiners for this paper mark against the book's own terminology.

The December 2025 paper was read last and separately, as a check. Three of our earlier picks were downgraded after it, and two topics that had been sitting at LOW moved up. That is the honest reason this file has 13 questions rather than a padded 30: a guess paper that lists everything is not a guess paper.

What we cannot promise, and will not, is that these 13 questions will be the paper. Nobody outside IGNOU knows the paper. What we can say is that in the last four sessions, between 70 and 80 percent of the marks came from topics on this list, and Section A came from it every single time.

How to Revise BEGLA 138 in the Final Ten Days

Ten days is enough for this paper if you spend six of them on Section B theory and four on technique. Reading and Speaking Skills rewards practised method over volume, so the plan below front loads the answers you must be able to reproduce and back loads the parts you must be able to perform.

  1. Days 1 to 2. Learn the three stages of reading and the five levels of comprehension. These two alone have covered 20 marks in Section B in three of the last four sessions.
  2. Days 3 to 4. Learn skimming against scanning and intensive against extensive reading as tables. Writing them as tables in the exam is faster and reads clearer than paragraphs.
  3. Days 5 to 6. Cover the aims of reading, techniques of reading, reading speed and the 7 Cs with barriers. This is your buffer stock for the fifth theory question.
  4. Day 7. Sentence stress only. Do the five worked examples from memory, then mark stress on ten sentences from any newspaper paragraph.
  5. Day 8. Write two dialogues by hand, one informal and one formal, timed at 12 minutes each. Check the layout, not the wit.
  6. Day 9. Attempt a full unseen passage from a past paper using the six question types, strictly inside the passage, answering in proportion to the marks.
  7. Day 10. Revise only the conclusions and the numbered point headings. Do not open anything new.

If you are sitting more than one English paper this session, keep the same method and change the content. The BAG guess Paper sets for the other courses in your programme follow this identical structure, which means the revision habit you build here transfers straight across.

Frequently Asked Questions About the BEGLA 138 Guess Paper

Is the BEGLA 138 guess paper for the June 2026 or the December 2026 session?

It covers both. BEGLA-138 term end examinations run in June and December, and the same 13 question set applies to each because the paper pattern and the repeating topics have stayed stable across the last six sessions. Tell our team on WhatsApp which session you are appearing for and we will confirm whether any topic has moved after the most recent paper is released and analysed.

How many questions does the BEGLA 138 Reading and Speaking Skills guess paper contain?

Thirteen questions, all with complete written answers, across 17 pages. Five of the thirteen are reproduced in full on this page at no cost so you can assess the answer quality yourself. The remaining eight, including the 20 mark unseen passage method, the formal dialogue models and the 7 Cs answer, are shared once you contact us on WhatsApp 9899436384.

Will the same questions appear in the actual BEGLA 138 term end paper?

No honest guess paper can promise that, and we do not. What our BEGLA-138 set gives you is a ranked list built from six real papers, where every included topic has appeared at least once and the HIGH tagged ones have appeared four or more times. Across the last four sessions, roughly 70 to 80 percent of the marks came from topics on this list.

Does BEGLA 138 have a practical file or project along with the exam?

No. BEGLA-138 Reading and Speaking Skills is a theory course under the CBCS scheme carrying 100 marks, split between a term end examination and the tutor marked assignment. There is no practical file, no viva and no lab record for this code, so the question index on this page represents the entire written preparation surface you need to cover.

How many blocks and units are there in the BEGLA 138 syllabus?

Four blocks and seventeen units. Block 1 covers learning to read effectively across four units, Block 2 covers five text types, Block 3 covers speaking skills across four units, and Block 4 covers practising speaking skills across four units. The unit wise table on this page maps each unit to the specific exam topics it feeds, along with our reading of its exam weight.

Which BEGLA 138 topics carry the highest marks in the term end exam?

Section A carries 30 marks and is the most predictable part of BEGLA-138, with the unseen passage set in all six analysed sessions and sentence stress in the last four. Section C dialogue writing carries a further 20 marks and has run one informal plus one formal question since June 2024. Together that is half the paper in stable, practisable shapes.

Are the BEGLA 138 answers written in a format IGNOU evaluators accept?

Yes. Every theory answer in the BEGLA-138 set opens with a one line definition, develops through numbered points that use the course book's own terminology and counts, and closes with a short evaluative conclusion. Answer length is matched to the mark value, roughly 250 words for a 10 mark question, so you are not writing past what the examiner is paid to read.

In which programmes is BEGLA 138 offered by IGNOU?

BEGLA-138 Reading and Speaking Skills is offered under the CBCS scheme in the Bachelor of Arts General programme, the Bachelor of Arts Vocational Studies Tourism Management programme and the BA Gender Studies programme, carrying the codes BAG, BAVTM and BAGS. The paper pattern and question types are identical across all three, so this guess paper applies whichever of them you are enrolled in.

How is the BEGLA 138 guess paper delivered after I contact you?

As a PDF on WhatsApp. Send the course code to 9899436384 along with your session, our team confirms the current price and format, and the file reaches you on the same chat, usually within working hours on the same day. You can ask follow up doubts about the questions themselves on that chat, not only about delivery and payment.
