We have developed inspiring and culturally relevant courses 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 Greece and Cyprus and Greek speaking 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, both classical and contemporary.  \nPearson is strongly committed to maintaining the availability of a wide range of language A levels. Although some awarding organisations are ceasing to offer those language A levels only taken by a limited number of students, we believe these qualifications make an important contribution to fostering diversity and community cohesion.  \nWe have redeveloped A levels in:  \n● Arabic  \n● Greek  \n● Japanese  \n● Urdu  \nWe have developed the following A levels for the first time:  \n● Gujarati  \n● Persian  \n● Portuguese  \n● Turkish  \nNote that we have taken the decision not to develop AS qualifications in any of these languages.  \nThis Getting Started Guide provides an overview of the new A level Greek specification, to help you get to grips with the changes to content and assessment.  \n2 What’s changed?  \n2.1 AS has not been redeveloped  \nOur discussions with schools and colleges have indicated that, under the new system in which AS results no longer count towards A level grades, take-up of AS level will be very limited. For this reason we have taken the decision only to offer the full linear A level in the languages being developed for first teaching in 2018.  \n2.2 Changes to A level qualifications  \nFrom September 2018, A level Greek will be a fully linear qualification. This means that all examinations must be sat at the end of the course. More information about the implications of the move to linear assessment is given on page 10.  \nSeparate subject criteria have been developed for these languages with smaller cohorts. While the level of rigour and demand will be the same, there will be no requirement for students to demonstrate spoken language skills.  \nAims and objectives  \nThere is a new set of aims and objectives for this A level. As a result, students are now required to:  \n● study two works from a prescribed list  \n● summarise information from spoken and written sources in writing  \n● develop independent research skills  \n● undertake a task integrating the skills of listening, reading and writing  \n● translate from and into the target language.  \nThemes  \nThe specification content is broken down into four themes relating to the target language culture. Two themes relate to‘society, past and present’, and two themes relate to‘political and/or inte","cbCaifSsnvBDtLPb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifSsnvBDtLPb","pdf",659223,"English","# 1 Introduction\n# 2 What’s changed?\n## 2.1 AS has not been redeveloped\n## 2.2 Changes to A level qualifications\n# 3 Planning\n# 4 Content guidance\n# 5 Assessment guidance\n# 6 Subject advisor support","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Getting Started Guide for A level Greek?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an overview of the new A level Greek specification, helping teachers and students understand changes to content and assessment.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the A level structure change from September 2018?\",\"answer\":\"A level Greek becomes fully linear, meaning all examinations are sat at the end of the course.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key assessment-related changes described in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide introduces AO4, increases the proportion of marks for AO3 with a stronger focus on applying grammar to generate independent language, and adds requirements such as summarising information and independent research skills.\"}]","Getting Started Guide: A Level Greek - Overview of changes to content and assessment | PDF",1792464026,48]
