AO1 develops identification of explicit and implicit ideas, synthesis of evidence across texts and appropriate quotation use. AO2 builds analysis of how writers’ language and structure create effects using subject terminology. AO3 requires comparison of ideas, perspectives and themes across two or more texts. AO4 emphasizes critical evaluation supported by textual references.","Overview of GCSE English Language  \nAO1 Reading  \nAO2 Reading  \nAO3 Reading  \nAO4 Reading  \n\n| Reading: Students are required to read and respond to texts from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. The texts must include literature and extended literary non-fiction, and other writing such as essays, reviews and journalism (both printed and online) . All texts in the examination are ‘unseen’, so students will not have studied the examination texts during the GCSE course.\u003Cbr>Writing: When writing, students should be able to write effectively and coherently using Standard English appropriately for the purpose and audience. Grammar, punctuation and spelling should be accurate and students should be able to use a wide range of vocabulary. |\n| --- |\n| AO1: -Identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas\u003Cbr>-Select and synthesise evidence from different texts\u003Cbr>Students are required to find particular information in a text, either literal information or ideas inferred from the text. Students need to be able to summarise information found in different texts (pulling together similar ideas) and they should be able to use quotations appropriately.\u003Cbr>- Use texts in L1 to help students to practise finding information and to consider similarities between texts\u003Cbr>-Help students to unpick the meaning of terminology used in different question types, annotating in L1 if appropriate\u003Cbr>-Encourage students to highlight key words in questions and practise text marking appropriately\u003Cbr>-Build students’ confidence with unseen texts by practising reading strategies, particularly what to do when there are unfamiliar words (likely to be the case with all texts but particularly 19th century texts) |\n| AO2: Explain, comment on and analyse how writers use language and structure to achieve effects and influence readers, using relevant subject terminology to support their views\u003Cbr>Students need to be able to consider how both language and structure are used in texts and explain how the writer has used techniques to create effects, considering the impact on the reader. If possible, students should be able to use subject terminology when discussing a text’s language and structure.\u003Cbr>-Encourage students to verbalise the specific impact of particular words, avoiding generic comments, in either English or L1. Perhaps start to practise AO2 using a text in L1, before transferring the skills to look at a text in English\u003Cbr>-Read through model answers with students, annotating how the impact on the reader is considered\u003Cbr>-Help students with using a writing frame (such as Point, Evidence, Explanation and Development) |\n| AO3: Compare writers’ ideas and perspectives, as well as how these are conveyed, across two or more texts\u003Cbr>Students are required to compare the ideas, perspectives, themes and/or language in two texts. They should be able to consider the similarities and differences between the texts.\u003Cbr>-Practise comparing similarities and differences between two texts in L1 and then in English, verbally, to help students to become familiar with what they are expected to do. Possibly use a talk frame to help with this\u003Cbr>-Help students with using appropriate vocabulary to compare, such as: in contrast, similarly, likewise, differently\u003Cbr>- Use a Venn diagram to help to identify the similarities and differences between texts, either in English or L1. Encourage students to use different coloured highlighters to mark the similarities and differences between texts\u003Cbr>-As a cognitively challenging task, encourage students to plan and draft in L1, if appropriate\u003Cbr>-Share and discuss model answers with students so they are able to see what is expected of them |\n| AO4: Evaluate texts critically and support this with appropriate textual references\u003Cbr>Students should be able to respond to texts in a critical way, considering how successful a text is in achieving the purpose of the writing. Appropriate quotations should be used to support judgements.\u003C","cbCaitC3pjC1lXF0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitC3pjC1lXF0","pdf",377728,1,2,"English","en",105,"# GCSE English Language\n## Reading (AO1)\n## Writing (AO5)\n## Spoken Language Endorsement","[{\"question\":\"What does AO1 require in GCSE English Language?\",\"answer\":\"AO1 requires students to identify explicit and implicit information and ideas, and to select and synthesise evidence from different texts, using quotations appropriately.\"},{\"question\":\"How does AO2 assess students’ understanding of texts?\",\"answer\":\"AO2 assesses how students explain, comment on, and analyse how writers use language and structure to achieve effects and influence readers, using relevant subject terminology.\"},{\"question\":\"What skills are assessed by AO3 and AO4?\",\"answer\":\"AO3 assesses comparison of writers’ ideas and perspectives across two or more texts, including similarities and differences.
