An inspiring and culturally relevant course has been developed, based on feedback from teachers, students, subject associations, academics and advisors.  \nThe qualification has a clear structure, which will enable students to develop advanced-level, transferable language alongside a deeper cultural appreciation of French and Francophone culture. There is an emphasis on promoting understanding of grammar in order to allow spontaneous, creative use of language to suit different purposes. The themes are engaging and relevant, combining familiar and new content. Popular texts and films have been chosen, as well as some less well-known titles, both classical and contemporary.  \nThis Getting Started guide provides an overview of the A level specification, to help you get to grips with the changes to content and assessment,and to help you understand what these mean for you and your students.  \nWe are providing a package of support to help you plan and implement the specification.  \n● Planning: mapping documents to show how your old course matches the new A level; an editable course planner; a student guide; and schemes of work which you can adapt to suit your department  \n● Understanding the standard: specimen papers; example student work with examiner commentaries  \n● Tracking learner progress: specimen papers to support formative assessments and mock exams  \n● Personal support: MFL Subject Advisor  \n● Teaching and learning: a range of guides containing practical approaches to areas, such as analysing films and literature, conducting research and essaywriting; film and literature PowerPoints to support you with teaching; and ideas for the independent research project.  \nThese support documents are available on the GCE 2016 French pages on the Edexcel website.  \n2.1 How has A level changed?  \nChanges to A level qualification  \nFrom September 2016, A level French will be a fully linear qualification. This means that all examinations must be sat (and non-examination assessment submitted) atthe end of the course. More information about the implications of the move to linear assessment is given on page 13.  \nChanges to Assessment Objectives  \nThe A level languages Assessment Objectives have been revised.There  \nare two main changes to the Assessment Objectives:  \n• A new AO4 has been introduced. This requires knowledge, understanding and critical and analytical response – to cultural and social issues relating to target-language communities.  \n• AO3 has a greater proportion of the marks than in the previous specification and has a subtly changed emphasis – there is greater emphasis now on active application of grammar in generating new, independent language.  \n\n| AO1\u003Cbr>20% | Understand and respond:\u003Cbr>● in speech to spoken language including face-to-face interaction\u003Cbr>● in writing to spoken language drawn from a variety of sources |\n| --- | --- |\n| AO2\u003Cbr>30% | Understand and respond:\u003Cbr>● in speech to written language drawn from a variety of sources\u003Cbr>● in writing to written language drawn from a variety of sources |\n| AO3\u003Cbr>30% | Manipulate the languag","cbCaimy7ZmHSjArf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimy7ZmHSjArf","pdf",658965,25,"English","# Introduction\n# What’s changed?\n## How has A level changed?\n## Changes to Edexcel GCE French\n# Planning\n# Content guidance\n# Assessment guidance\n## Further details on the speaking assessment","[{\"question\":\"What is the key change to A level French in 2016?\",\"answer\":\"From September 2016, A level French becomes a fully linear qualification, with examinations (and non-examination assessment) taken at the end of the course.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the revised Assessment Objectives include?\",\"answer\":\"Two main changes are described: AO4 is introduced for critical and analytical response to cultural and social issues, and AO3 places greater emphasis on active application of grammar to generate new, independent language.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the A level assessed in 2016?\",\"answer\":\"The guide presents three papers: Paper 1 (listening, reading and translation), Paper 2 (written response to works and translation), and Paper 3 (speaking with independent research and themes), each with specified time and percentage weightings.\"}]","Getting Started: GCE French 2016 | PDF",1792462814,63]
