Our qualification must meet these requirements.  \nThe qualification outline will provide a guide for the development of the Specification and Sample Assessment Materials (SAMs) . Aspects of the outline may need to be revisited if issues arise during the development process.  \nQualification overview  \nThe GCSE French qualification will support the Curriculum for Wales by:  \n• supporting the statements of what matters1 , giving learners the opportunity to:  \n• ensure that knowledge and skills in one language are transferred to and developed in other languages  \n• develop their understanding, empathy and their ability to respond and to mediate effectively  \n• use languages in order to be effective as they interact, explore ideas, express viewpoints, knowledge and understanding  \n• provide them with literary experiences that can engage them as listeners, viewers, readers, narrators and creators.  \n• supporting the principles of progression2 by giving learners the opportunity to:  \n• build on their linguistic skills  \n• grow holistically in their understanding and purposeful use of languages, literacy and communication  \n• develop their linguistic repertoire through understanding how their own languages work  \n• adapt and manipulate language to communicate effectively to a range of different audiences  \n• develop receptive, interpretive and expressive language skills  \n• transfer existing knowledge and skills into new contexts including the social and cultural aspects of language.  \n• supporting the key considerations for language development3 by giving learners the opportunity to:  \n• develop phonological awareness and phonemic awareness  \n• continue to progress in all their languages from their different starting points.  \n1 Languages, Literacy and Communication: Statements of what matters-Hwb ([gov.wales](gov.wales))  \n2 Languages, Literacy and Communication: Principles of progression-Hwb ([gov.wales](gov.wales))  \n3 Languages, Literacy and Communication: Designing your curriculum-Hwb ([gov.wales](gov.wales))  \nThe GCSE French qualification will also be based on the following:  \n• understanding and responding to spoken and written language  \n• identifying messages and drawing conclusions  \n• using knowledge of grammar  \n• translating from the language of study  \n• communicating clearly and effectively in speaking and in writing  \n• a core vocabulary list based on high frequency vocabulary and everyday language  \n• using accurate pronunciation and intonation  \n• using knowledge of cultural and regional familiarity.  \nUnits 1, 3 and 4 will be based on the following broad themes. Sub-themes are exemplified for each broad theme:  \n• language for leisure and wellbeing , for example: healthy mind and body, self and relationships, using technology and media  \n• language for travel, for example: travelling around the world, the cultures of where the language is spoken, sustainability  \n• language for study and work, for example: study and work opportunities, working with languages at home and abroad.  \nQualification Structure  \n\n| Unit 1: Speaking and Listening\u003Cbr>Non-examination assessment 30% of qualification\u003Cbr>Marked by WJEC\u003Cbr>AO1 25%, AO2 2%, AO3 3% |\n| --- |\n| Unit 2: Reading and Writing\u003Cbr>Non-examination assessment\u003Cbr>15% of qualification Marked by WJECAO2 10%, AO3 5% |\n| Unit 3: Listening\u003Cbr>Written examination 15% of qualification AO1 15% |\n| Unit 4:","cbCaisWgDXY4NfdU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisWgDXY4NfdU","pdf",348335,1,9,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Qualification overview\n## Qualification Structure\n## Assessment objectives mapping\n## Unit Information\n## Unit 1 – Speaking and Listening\n## Unit 2 – Reading and Writing","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the WJEC GCSE French qualification outline?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a high-level overview of the GCSE French qualification and guides specification development and sample assessment materials to ensure approval criteria are met.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the qualification support the Curriculum for Wales?\",\"answer\":\"It supports what matters, progression, and language development by enabling learners to transfer language skills, develop empathy and mediation, use language effectively, and grow receptive and expressive abilities.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main units and their assessment weightings?\",\"answer\":\"The qualification is structured into four units: Unit 1 (30%), Unit 2 (15%), Unit 3 (15%), and Unit 4 (40%), with a mix of non-examination assessments and written examinations.\"}]","GCSE French Qualification Outline -
