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 lusofonia and the Portuguesespeaking culture. There is an emphasis on promoting understanding of grammar 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  \nAnd we 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 Portuguese specification, to help you get to grips with the content and assessment.  \n2 What’s changed?  \n2.1 AS has not been redeveloped  \nOur discussions with school 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 Portuguese 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 an","cbCaiah04SfnykuO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiah04SfnykuO","pdf",466010,17,"English","# Introduction\n# What’s changed?\n## AS has not been redeveloped\n## Changes to A level qualifications\n# Aims and objectives\n# Themes\n# Prescribed works\n# Summarising information\n# Independent research skills\n# Assessment Objectives","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the A level Portuguese Getting Started Guide?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an overview of the new A level Portuguese specification to help learners understand the content and assessment requirements.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the A level Portuguese qualification change from September 2018?\",\"answer\":\"It becomes fully linear, so all examinations are taken at the end of the course, and spoken language skills are no longer required for students.\"},{\"question\":\"What assessment changes are introduced in the revised Assessment Objectives?\",\"answer\":\"AO4 is introduced, requiring critical and analytical response to cultural and social issues, and AO3 increases in proportion with a greater emphasis on active application of grammar to produce new independent language.\"}]","Getting started guide - A level Portuguese | PDF",1792464040,43]
