Our new Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9–1) in Chinese (spoken Mandarin/spoken Cantonese) has been developed to help students of all abilities progress and develop a passion for languages, through culturally engaging content.  \nWe’ve listened to feedback from the languages community and have developed an engaging and inspirational course of study that will enable your students to manipulate and use the target language effectively, independently and creatively, so that they have a solid basis from which to progress to A Level or employment.  \nEngaging and popular topics  \nOur specification includes both familiar and new topics that you have told us you like and that motivate your students.  \nManageable content  \nOur content has been structured across five themes. This flexible programme of study allows time for a focused revision period at the end of the course.  \nContent and assessments that provide an engaging real-world focus  \nThe authentic situations and stimuli enable students to see language in context and learn about the culture of the target language country. Our assessments allow for spontaneity and test grammar as well as providing plenty of opportunities for students to apply their knowledge independently, creatively and in authentic situations.  \nStraightforward assessments that are accessible to all students  \nSpecial care has been taken to ensure that all our papers are designed to be clear and concise and, where appropriate, questions feature scaffolding to help all students’ progress through the assessments confidently. Both papers are also structured so that they are progressive in their level of demand with the most d","cbCaiqoEyd3RjODM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqoEyd3RjODM","pdf",1565600,142,"English","# Summary of Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Chinese (spoken Mandarin/spoken Cantonese) Specification\n## Issue 5 changes\n## Introduction\n## Subject content\n## Paper 1: Listening and understanding in Chinese\n## Paper 2: Speaking in Chinese\n## Paper 3: Reading and understanding in Chinese\n## Paper 4: Writing in Chinese\n## Assessment Objectives\n## Administration and general information\n## Entries\n## Access arrangements, reasonable adjustments, special consideration and malpractice\n## Student recruitment and progression\n## Appendix 1: Candidate speaking examination record form (CS2)\n## Appendix 2: Grammar list\n## Appendix 3: Vocabulary list\n## Appendix 4: The context for the development of this qualification\n## Appendix 5: Transferable skills\n## Appendix 6: Codes","[{\"question\":\"What does Issue 5 cover in this specification summary?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a summary of changes made in Issue 5 compared with the previous issue for the Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9–1) in Chinese (spoken Mandarin/spoken Cantonese).\"},{\"question\":\"Which Foundation tier elements were updated in Issue 5?\",\"answer\":\"The document updates Foundation tier paper timing and revises assessment information for Paper 4, including specific guidance for Question 2 and the requirement to use the formal register.\"},{\"question\":\"Where can students and teachers find details about these changes?\",\"answer\":\"The document indicates that further information about what the changes mean can be obtained by contacting Pearson via the qualifications.pearson.com support contact page.\"}]","Pearson Edexcel Level 1/Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Chinese (spoken Mandarin/spoken Cantonese) - Issue 5 - Specification changes summary | PDF",1792463571,358]
