Paper 2 Reading 25% of the marks Foundation 40 marks Higher 40 marks 5 minutes 45 minutes Students can be entered at either Foundation or Higher Tier, but not both.

For example: instructions, public notices, advertisements etc and some longer extracts from brochures, guides, letters, magazines, faxes, e-mails and websites. These may include reference to past, present and future events. The Reading assessment tasks at Foundation Tier will be based on the Foundation and the General Vocabulary list. Students should also expect to encounter some unfamiliar vocabulary, but they will not be tested on it. Students will be expected to identify main points and extract details and opinions. The test will consist of a number of discrete items and will be marked according to a detailed mark scheme.

Higher Tier (only) In addition at Higher Tier the material may include some complex, unfamiliar language together with non factual and imaginative material, including narrative. Students will be expected to use their knowledge of grammar and structure in order to demonstrate understanding of specific points and of gist/main message. They will also be expected to recognise points of view, attitudes, emotions and to draw conclusions. Paper Speaking 25% of the marks 45 marks Maximum 9 minutes + 2 minutes preparation time. The Speaking test is untiered and externally set. The use of dictionaries will not be permitted. Students will attend a session of a maximum of 11 minutes (including 2 minutes preparation time). The test will be conducted and recorded by the teacher and marked by an AQA examiner. Students who are unable to talk for 9 minutes should not be compelled to continue discussions for the maximum time limit. The test will consist of two sections. Part 1 Photo Stimulus Card (maximum 5 minutes including 2 minutes preparation time) 15 marks Students will have two minutes supervised preparation time during which they should prepare one of the two cards given to them by the teacherexaminer. These will be based on the topics listed in Section a of the specification. Students will be asked the compulsory questions and the teacherexaminer will then ask his/her own additional questions to follow up. Teacher-examiners should ensure that the questions they prepare are appropriate to the ability of each student and allow him/her to gain full access to the assessment criteria. The assessment criteria should be shared with students so that they are fully aware of the requirements of the test. Teachers should study the material for Part one of the test. It is most important to prepare suitable questions which can be adapted both to the ability of the student and to the student s utterances when necessary. This cannot be achieved by the rigid use of a list of prepared questions. The questions on the stimulus card must be asked first and then supplemented with appropriate follow-up questions to enable a relevant discussion to take place. A maximum of minutes should be spent discussing the photo and its theme. Part 2 General Conversation (maximum 6 minutes) 0 marks The General Conversation will cover the two topics listed in the Teacher s Booklet. A maximum of minutes should be spent discussing each topic. Teacher-examiners should ensure that the questions asked in this section of the test are appropriate to the ability of each student and allow him/her to gain full access to the assessment criteria. The assessment criteria for the Speaking test can be found in Appendix E of this specification. A three week period will be timetabled for the Speaking test, during which schools/colleges will be free to test their students at any time. Detailed instructions for the teacher-examiner will be issued prior to the examination. In order that teacherexaminers may prepare for the tests, the examination 6
material may be opened up to three working days before the three week period. It is essential that the confidentiality of the examination materials is strictly maintained prior to, and throughout, the period of tests. Its content must not be disclosed to anyone not conducting the tests (especially students). The materials must be kept on the school s premises under secure storage and can only be accessed via the Examinations Officer. The school/college must ensure that the Speaking test is checked in and out of secure storage both during the preparation period and during the period of the tests. AQA relies on the professional integrity of teachers during this period. For further information please see the Modern Foreign Languages Instructions for the Conduct of the Examinations. Each year in the Spring term, AQA will provide face to face training meetings to support teachers in the conduct of the Speaking examination. These meetings will provide language specific examples of the speaking tests, best practice for the conduct of the tests and guidance on how to ensure that students have full access to the mark ranges of the assessment criteria. For further information and advice please see the Speaking test handbook which can be found in the Teacher Resource Bank on www.aqa.org.uk.

Question 2 (20 marks) a text which offers the opportunity to write descriptively or imaginatively, expressing and explaining ideas and points of view eg: an article, a survey, a letter/e-mail etc. Students choose either Question 2(a) or 2(b) each of which covers a different topic. Higher Tier (50 marks) 60 minutes Students will be required to write in Spanish: Question 1 (20 marks) a text which offers the opportunity to use a variety of vocabulary and structures and to express personal opinions.

Foundation and Higher Tier For both Foundation and Higher Tier papers the questions and instructions will be in English. There will be some target language support at Foundation Tier and for Higher Tier Questions 1(a) and 1(b).
