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.
Likes and
dislikes
Weekend

Personal & Social

context
1.
2.
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.
CONTROLLED ASSESMENT - WRITING

Candidates must complete two tasks.
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?
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 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 ) + 1 1 = 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.

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
= 1 + 1 = 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 - - 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, , 1 categories so that as many possible answers can be
discussed at the conference.
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. 18 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)
Awarding more than the maximum mark per sub-section or task.
(b)
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.
(c)
Confusion between the number of details required per question, especially when
alternative answers are allowed.
(d)
Mathematical errors - incorrect addition and wrong transfer of total working mark to
the front page.
(e)
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!
