37 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials 37 Controlled Assessments SPEAKING TEST Speaking Task setting 1. Candidates will take part in a structured conversation based on a framework (concept web) linked to one of the contexts. WJEC will provide a number of frameworks which the centre may adapt to suit the interests of the candidates. Tasks will be changed every two years. The conversation will last 4-5 minutes. 2. Candidates will give a presentation on a topic of their choice. The presentation will last 2-3 minutes and will be followed by a discussion with the teacher lasting 3-4 minutes. The presentation should show evidence of candidate research which may include on-line investigation or study through other relevant media. Candidates are permitted to use brief notes (no more than 30 words in bullet point form) which should be retained by the teacher. A visual stimulus such as a photograph, post card or small object may also be used.

38 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials Structured discussion. This concept web may be adapted to suit the needs of the centre or the candidate. Personal & Social context Where? When? Weekend activities Friends Free time Likes and dislikes Money Sporting activities Provide opportunities for conversation about present, past, future events as well as opinions and attitudes

39 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials Free choice presentation and follow-up discussion Candidates are allowed a free choice of topic for this part of the test, allowing them to select topics that reflect their interests. Freedom to select the content of their presentation should allow candidates the opportunity to perform to their best potential and should help them feel at ease with the demands of the task. By allowing candidates to support their presentation with a visual stimulus (should they choose), they will be able to illustrate ideas or points of view in a practical way. Candidates will be expected to give an uninterrupted presentation to the teacher lasting 2 3 minutes. They are allowed the support of brief notes but these should not exceed 30 words written in bullet point form. These notes should be retained by the teacher at the end of the test. Following the presentation the teacher and the candidate will engage in a discussion based on the content of the talk. The teacher must select questions to explore aspects of the presentation, being careful to match the level of demand to the ability of the candidate. Candidates need to be sufficiently challenged to allow them to demonstrate the full range of their ability. Although teachers will be familiar with the topic of the presentation, it is important that questions asked during the task have not been previously rehearsed or practised in advance of the test. Examples of presentations might include the following: My Geography field trip Location of visit Reason for special study What was enjoyable or useful about the field trip How the skills information learned will fit in to studies Visual stimulus: map or artefact Candidates could give a range of responses to this topic. Some candidates would present simple information and use vocabulary that is familiar and simple, expressing their opinions and communicating the main points of their presentation. Some candidates could use a variety of structures and use different tenses or time frames, showing an ability to deal with unpredictable elements in their response to questions. Some candidates would demonstrate further skills, expressing points of view, using complex structures and speaking confidently and with accurate pronunciation and intonation. Such candidates would be able to respond to a wide range of questions with ease.

41 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials 41 Candidates must complete two tasks. CONTROLLED ASSESMENT - WRITING The tasks may be taken from any one of three sources: (a) (b) (c) the question as it appears in the Task Bank the suggested variation to the question in the Task Bank a question devised by the candidate's teacher Examples of questions and their variation are given below. Teachers who devise their own questions must ensure that candidates are able to access the highest marks for both Communication and Quality of Language (Range and Accuracy). When completing tasks candidates should write (a) (b) as if their intended audience were French/German/Spanish-speaking people of their own age as if their material was for the purpose of publication on a website In the absence of tiered questions teachers must choose or devise questions which will suit a range of abilities while still providing access to all available marks. Question One Write a blog entry about a holiday you have spent abroad with your school. Variation: Write about a holiday you have spent in this country with your family. Question Two Design a webpage about the area where you live and compare it with a similar area in a Spanish-speaking country. Variation: Host a discussion board on the theme: Would you prefer to live in this country or abroad?

42 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials 42 MARK SCHEME LISTENING IMPORTANT GENERAL PRINCIPLES A detailed mark scheme is provided but further answers will be discussed at the examiners' conference, in the light of candidates' scripts. Figures and numbers are accepted. Disregard additional incorrect information as long as the correct answer has been given and the additional information does not contradict or modify what has been said. Additional information may result in partial communication, in which case ½ can be given. When extra boxes are ticked, credit the correct answers then subtract the incorrect ones. It is important to decide the scope of the mark allocation. If candidates hedge their bets (give 2 contradictory answers ) = 0. Possible errors in marking: Awarding more marks than are allocated. Forgetting a task is worth 2 marks and only giving 1 mark. Confusion about the number of details needed for allocated marks. Mathematical errors. Seeing a correct answer in the incorrect place and crediting it. Concentrating on seeking ticks in correct boxes and not seeing additional extra ticks in wrong boxes.

56 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials 56 MARK SCHEME READING GENERAL PRINCIPLES Foundation Total 40 Higher Total 40 All candidates will have attempted either the higher paper or the foundation paper. They will not have attempted both. (If they have done so, then contact WJEC.) The principle underlying the marking is the total, partial or non-completion of the task required except for those questions involving a choice between options. In those instances, the answer is either correct or incorrect and there is no partially correct answer. Multiple choice, true/false, choosing the correct option from a series of pictures etc. will be marked as agreed in the conference. Normally no half marks will be awarded. On some occasions there may only be a partial, incomplete, or ambiguous answer and we need to look at these on an individual basis. Figures and numbers are acceptable and this is stated in the notes to candidates. Answers which have English or Welsh spelling which is incorrect but understandable and which does not interfere with the message communicated will generally be accepted. Any incorrect information is disregarded as long as a correct answer is given unless the incorrect information obviously contradicts or modifies what has been said. Our policy when too many alternative and incorrect answers are given is to penalise for each extra incorrect answer. e.g. one answer possible and two answers given, the correct one and an alternative = 1-1 = 0 two possible answers and three answers given, two correct and an alternative = = 2-1 = 1 Where the information given e.g. in brackets or with an oblique (unless considered an alternative answer) makes the answer more ambiguous we deduct a mark, i.e. 2-1 = 1 Each of the tasks is worth 1 mark (there are 40 on the foundation and 40 on the higher paper) in all and the number of tasks per question is indicated by the scale printed at the side of the question. Each task should be marked on a 0 - ½ - 1 scale as indicated in the marking scheme and as confirmed in the examiners' conference. The scheme is a draft scheme only, drawn up on the basis of the expected answers, to be finalised at the examiners' conference in the light of answers written by candidates. Please look through as many scripts beforehand as time allows and note answers which you do not think fall easily into the 0, ½, 1 categories so that as many possible answers can be discussed at the conference.

57 GCSE SPANISH Specimen Assessment Materials 57 The marks awarded for each question should be shown in the margin by the question; these should be totalled and the total shown at the bottom of the margin on the final page. The total is out of 40 on the foundation paper and 40 on the higher paper. If the total ends in a half mark e.g. 18½ then the total for the paper is rounded up to the next full mark. It is important to avoid the following errors in marking. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Awarding more than the maximum mark per sub-section or task. Forgetting that each task is worth one mark i.e. the maximum mark in the right hand margin should be the mark printed on the paper. In addition half a mark may be awarded for some tasks. Confusion between the number of details required per question, especially when alternative answers are allowed. Mathematical errors - incorrect addition and wrong transfer of total working mark to the front page. Incorrect marking due to lack of appreciation of the marking scheme on specific points or due to ultimately believing that a wrong answer frequently given by candidates is correct!
