Please note that due to the timing of publishing these exemplars, students who produced work had not been taught under the 2024 specification. As such, students have used some vocabulary and grammar outside of the 2024 specification, and this is given equal but not extra credit. This is in accordance with the requirements of the Department for Education’s subject content.  \nMarks awarded in the exemplars are based on a relatively small sample. Whilst they area good indication of the marks likely to be awarded for different levels, exact marks may differ somewhat when based on standardisation of a whole live series.  \nThe Sample assessment materials which these responses are based on can be found on the Pearson website here.  \nIf you have any enquiries regarding these materials or have any other questions, please contact our subject advisor [team on](team on Teachinglanguages@pearson.com)[ ](team on Teachinglanguages@pearson.com)[Teachinglanguages@pearson.com](team on Teachinglanguages@pearson.com).  \nMarking points in the spotlight  \nFollowing our review of over 500 samples of student work across the three languages of French, German and Spanish, we have shone a spotlight on a few specific points:  \n• ‘Equal credit’ for use of language outside of the vocabulary and grammar lists  \nTo fulfil tasks, students are only required to use vocabulary and grammar included in the vocabulary and grammar lists of the specification. If they correctly use language outside of the vocabulary and grammar lists, they receive the same (but no extra) credit. For example, in German commentary D , the cognate ‘Rom-Com’ is used which is not included in the vocabulary list but contributes equal credit (to the mark for variety of vocabulary and grammar under AO3) when compared with a word which is included in the vocabulary list e.g. ‘Horror’.  \nAll incorrect language will be treated in the same way, regardless of whether or not it is included in the vocabulary and grammar lists. For example, in German commentary C, the word ‘Specialeffekte’ (outside of the vocabulary list) is spelled incorrectly and impacts the accuracy of language mark under AO3 in the same way as an incorrectly spelled word from within the vocabulary list would.  \n• ‘Addressed’  \nThe mark scheme guidance states that, ‘a bullet point in a task is considered addressed if there is evidence of a response to it’. It is important to note that the response must be both relevant and comprehensible for it to be considered as ‘evidence’ and therefore considered to be addressed.  \nFor example, in German commentary E , the student does not address the fourth bullet point which requires them to mention ‘who they will next watch a film with’. Instead, the student gives other details such as when and what kind of film , and additionally fails to successfully indicate a future occurrence in the phrase ‘ In December ich haben Horror filme sehen  ’. As such the response is not relevant to the bullet point , which is not considered to be addr","cbCaigTzcX2H9N8l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigTzcX2H9N8l","pdf",3105822,27,"English","# Introduction\n## Marking points in the spotlight\n## Overview of Exemplars\n## Foundation tier Question 2\n## Foundation tier Question 3 / Higher tier Question 1\n## Higher tier Question 2\n## Appendix – Mark scheme additional guidance","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this GCSE German Paper 4 Writing exemplification pack?\",\"answer\":\"It provides teachers and students with examples of marked responses and demonstrates Pearson’s marking approach for the Paper 4 open-response questions.\"},{\"question\":\"How does “equal credit” work when students use language outside the specification lists?\",\"answer\":\"Students receive the same credit (not extra) for correct usage outside the vocabulary and grammar lists, such as correct cognates, compared with a word included in the lists.\"},{\"question\":\"When is a bullet point considered “addressed”?\",\"answer\":\"A bullet is considered addressed when the response includes evidence that is relevant and comprehensible; irrelevant or unclear content does not count as evidence.\"}]","GCSE (9-1) German (1GR1) Exemplars - Paper 4 - Writing | PDF",1792473314,68]
