A specification designed for you and your students  \nWe’ve worked with a range of teachers to create this specification. We have focussed on ensuring that our assessments are clear, accessible and discriminate effectively.  \nOur objective is to enable students of all abilities to develop their Polish language skills to their full potential, equipping them with the knowledge to communicate in a variety of contexts with confidence.  \nLanguages for life  \nAt AQA we're passionate about the benefits that learning a language can bring. We strongly believe in languages as a skill for life and something students should enjoy and find rewarding. We know you want a specification which you can enjoy teaching, and one which expands your students' cultural knowledge whilst developing their language skills.  \nWe are confident our assessments will deliver the right results for your students. We want to help you to attract students of all abilities to languages and to deliver the assessments and results you and your students deserve.  \nComprehensive support  \nWe are here to offer a comprehensive range of support and resources to assist your planning, teaching and assessment of our specifications. You can rely on us to support you when you need help.  \nYou can find out about all our Polish [qualifications at](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/languages)[ ](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/languages)[aqa.org.uk/languages](qualifications at aqa.org.uk/languages)  \n1.2 Support and resources to help you teach  \nWe’ve worked with experienced teachers to provide you with a range of resources that will help you confidently plan, teach and prepare for exams.  \n1.2.1 Teaching resources  \n[Visit](Visit aqa.org.uk/8688 to see all)[ ](Visit aqa.org.uk/8688 to see all)[aqa.org.uk/8688](Vis","cbCaiknz1kcGmCfa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiknz1kcGmCfa","pdf",1192398,132,"English","# Introduction\n## Why choose AQA for GCSE Polish?\n## Support and resources to help you teach\n# Specification at a glance\n## Subject content\n## Assessments\n# Subject content\n## Themes\n## Scope of study\n## Grammar\n## Communication strategies\n## Vocabulary\n# Scheme of assessment\n## Aims and learning outcomes\n## Assessment objectives\n## Assessment weightings\n## Paper 1: Listening\n## Paper 2: Speaking\n## Paper 3: Reading\n## Paper 4: Writing\n## Assessment criteria\n# General administration\n## Entries and codes\n## Overlaps with other qualifications\n## Awarding grades and reporting results\n## Resits and shelf life\n## Previous learning and prerequisites\n## Access to assessment: diversity and inclusion\n## Working with AQA for the first time\n## Private candidates","[{\"question\":\"What is the teaching and exam timeframe covered by this GCSE Polish (8688) specification?\",\"answer\":\"It states the specification is for teaching from September 2017 onwards and for GCSE exams in 2019 onwards.\"},{\"question\":\"What support and resources does AQA provide for delivering GCSE Polish?\",\"answer\":\"It includes planning materials such as sample schemes of work, training courses, subject expertise courses for teachers, and exam preparation resources like past papers, mark schemes, and examiners’ reports.\"},{\"question\":\"Which assessment papers are included and what skills do they target?\",\"answer\":\"The assessment includes four papers: Paper 1 Listening, Paper 2 Speaking, Paper 3 Reading, and Paper 4 Writing, supported by assessment aims, objectives, weighting, and assessment criteria.\"}]","GCSE Polish (8688) - Specification For teaching from September 2017 onwards | PDF",1792467579,333]
