9 Themes and pics Questions across all four language skills are set in common contexts, addressing a range of relevant contemporary and cultural themes. They are organised in five themes, each broken down in pics and sub-pics. The five themes are: Identity and culture Local area, holiday, travel School Future aspirations, study and work International and global dimension. All themes and pics must be studied in the context of both the students home country and that of countries and communities where Spanish is spoken. For listening and reading assessments, the majority of contexts are based on the culture and countries where the assessed language is spoken. Students may also refer the culture of the assessed language country/countries or communities within the speaking and writing papers.

Using levels-based mark schemes When using a levels-based mark scheme, the best fit approach should be used: examiners should first decide which descripr most closely matches the answer and place it in that band the mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the answer and will be modified according how securely all bullet point descriprs are met at that band in cases of uneven performance, the points above will still apply. Candidates will be placed in the band that best describes their answer according each of the traits described in the band. Marks will be awarded wards the p or botm of that band depending on how candidates have evidenced each of the descripr bullet points please note that the number of bullet points in the band descripr does not directly correlate the number of marks in the band descripr. 20 Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Spanish Specification Draft 1.1 September 2015 Pearson Education Limited 2015

40 Marking guidance for Paper 2: Writing This marking guidance is for the use of Pearson appointed external examiners. The guidance has been included for teacher reference aid understanding of how the assessment criteria are applied. The assessment criteria are contained in several marking grids. For both foundation and higher tier, each question on the writing paper has different levels-based mark grids applied them. They are as follows: Higher tier Question 1: Communication and content Linguistic knowledge and accuracy Question 2: Communication and content Linguistic knowledge and accuracy Question 3: Translation mark grid (assesses both communication and content and linguistic knowledge and accuracy) Foundation tier Question 1: Communication and content Linguistic knowledge and accuracy Question 2: Communication and content Linguistic knowledge and accuracy Question 3: Communication and content Linguistic knowledge and accuracy Question 3: Translation mark grid (assesses both communication and content and linguistic knowledge and accuracy) Using levels-based mark schemes When using a levels-based mark scheme, the best fit approach should be used: examiners should first decide which descripr most closely matches the answer and place it in that band the mark awarded within the band will be decided based on the quality of the answer and will be modified according how securely all bullet point descriprs are met at that band in cases of uneven performance, the points above will still apply. Candidates will be placed in the band that best describes their answer according each of the traits described in the band. Marks will be awarded wards the p or botm of that band depending on how candidates have evidenced each of the descripr bullet points please note that the number of bullet points in the band descripr does not directly correlate the number of marks in the band descripr. 40 Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Spanish Specification Draft 1.1 September 2015 Pearson Education Limited 2015

56 Access arrangements Access arrangements are agreed before an assessment. They allow students with special educational needs, disabilities or temporary injuries : access the assessment show what they know and can do without changing the demands of the assessment. The intention behind an access arrangement is meet the particular needs of an individual student with a disability, without affecting the integrity of the assessment. Access arrangements are the principal way in which awarding bodies comply with the duty under the Equality Act 2010 make reasonable adjustments. Access arrangements should always be processed at the start of the course. Students will then know what is available and have the access arrangement(s) in place for assessment. Reasonable adjustments The Equality Act 2010 requires an awarding organisation make reasonable adjustments where a person with a disability would be at a substantial disadvantage in undertaking an assessment. The awarding organisation is required take reasonable steps overcome that disadvantage. A reasonable adjustment for a particular person may be unique that individual and therefore might not be in the list of available access arrangements. Whether an adjustment will be considered reasonable will depend on a number of facrs, which will include: the needs of the student with the disability the effectiveness of the adjustment the cost of the adjustment; and the likely impact of the adjustment on the student with the disability and other students. An adjustment will not be approved if it involves unreasonable costs the awarding organisation, timeframes or affects the security or integrity of the assessment. This is because the adjustment is not reasonable. Special consideration Special consideration is a post-examination adjustment a student's mark or grade reflect temporary injury, illness or other indisposition at the time of the examination/ assessment, which has had, or is reasonably likely have had, a material effect on a candidate s ability take an assessment or demonstrate their level of attainment in an assessment.

153 Appendix 5: Transferable skills The need for transferable skills In recent years, higher education institutions and employers have consistently flagged the need for students develop a range of transferable skills enable them respond with confidence the demands of undergraduate study and the world of work. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines skills, or competencies, as the bundle of knowledge, attributes and capacities that can be learned and that enable individuals successfully and consistently perform an activity or task and can be built upon and extended through learning. [1] To support the design of our qualifications, the Pearson Research Team selected and evaluated seven global 21st-century skills frameworks. Following on from this process, we identified the National Research Council s (NRC) framework as the most evidence-based and robust skills framework. We adapted the framework slightly include the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) ICT Literacy and Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) Skills. The adapted National Research Council s framework of skills involves [2] : Cognitive skills Non-routine problem solving expert thinking, metacognition, creativity. Systems thinking decision making and reasoning. Critical thinking definitions of critical thinking are broad and usually involve general cognitive skills such as analysing, synthesising and reasoning skills. ICT literacy access, manage, integrate, evaluate, construct and communicate [3]. Interpersonal skills Communication active listening, oral communication, written communication, assertive communication and non-verbal communication. Relationship-building skills teamwork, trust, intercultural sensitivity, service orientation, self-presentation, social influence, conflict resolution and negotiation. Collaborative problem solving establishing and maintaining shared understanding, taking appropriate action, establishing and maintaining team organisation. Intrapersonal skills Adaptability ability and willingness cope with the uncertain, handling work stress, adapting different personalities, communication styles and cultures, and physical adaptability various indoor and outdoor work environments. Self-management and self-development ability work remotely in virtual teams, work aunomously, be self-motivating and self-moniring, willing and able acquire new information and skills related work.
