This pack contains both Reading (30 marks) and Directed Writing (20 marks) and Listening (20 marks) papers. It either includes an MP3 file (ePack download version) OR CD (paper pack version) containing the Listening track. A full marking key and Listening Transcript is also included. This pack complies with the latest SQA formats and standards.
In the Reading paper candidates will be asked to provide responses in English to questions requiring them to identify and explain significant aspects of detail in one French text. 10 marks are available for translating part of the text into English. In Directed Writing candidates will be asked to choose one from 4 sets of stimulus material covering the contexts of society, learning, employability, and culture. Candidates must fully address all six bullet points given in their chosen stimulus, using detailed and complex French.
The Listening paper (20 marks) contains two items and is accompanied by an audio track. Candidates will be asked to write responses in English to answer the questions based on this material in French. The context for both parts will come from one of the following: society, learning, employability, and culture. In Item One, candidates will listen to a short monologue and, in Item Two, a short conversation.
Question papers are carefully balanced and closely emulate the national standard. The papers appropriately sample material from the full course to help generate valid, reliable and robust estimates. The detailed marking scheme gives likely candidate responses and full guidance on marks allocations.
