Updates centres on staff changes, Unit 1 guidance and scanning/upload workflows, Unit 2 listening downloads, and upcoming professional learning and final assessment opportunities through Wave 1 qualifications.","Newsletter – April 2025  \nGCSE and GCE French, German and Spanish  \nWelcome back after the Easter break!  \nThe Modern Foreign Languages Team at WJEC hope that you have had a chance to recharge the batteries and enjoy some spring sunshine with loved ones! As we begin the busy summer term, we thought we would share some things with you. Please take a few moments to browse the newsletter for useful information and reminders.  \nKey Dates  \nThe Assessment Window for conducting GCSE and GCE Speaking Examinations runs from Monday 1st April until Tuesday 6th May 2025. Centres are reminded to upload their recordings to Surpass within 2 working days of completing the speaking exams.  \nThe upload/submission deadline for Vocational Languages (Language Pathways and GBC) is 5th May. Please take a few moments when uploading work to check that everything required is being submitted. This will ensure candidates’ work can be sampled and moderated smoothly at this very busy time.  \nStaff Changes in the Languages Team  \nKimberley Epton, Liza-Maree Quintal and Steve Patten have all joined the team as Subject Support Officers from December 2024 to March 2025. We welcome them all and look forward to working together.  \nGCSE  \nMFL speaking assessments  \nInformation for centres accessing the set allocations for candidates  \nThe list allocating a set number to each candidate for the GCSE MFL speaking assessments can be accessed on Portal. Please note that this information is confidential and must not be shared with candidates prior to the assessment.  \nSelect the blue tab at the top of Portal landing page entitled ENTRIES and scroll down the menu to find GCSE MFL – Set Allocation. Select the session, paper (language and tier) to view the set allocation list for your candidates. When you press the PDF icon to print out the list, the teacher and the candidate authentication forms will also be printed. The printed information must be stored confidentially and securely until required for the speaking assessments.  \nUnit 1 Guidance  \nWe advise centres to download the WJEC GCSE Unit 1 Instructions for Teacher Examiners and to complete the checklist at the end of the document.  \nFollowing the speaking assessment, the MFL Centre Form must be signed and dated by each candidate and the teacher. Both the MFL Centre Form and the set allocation list must be scanned and uploaded to the Surpass site after the final assessment has taken place. An additional teacher/administrator key code is provided for this. Several forms can be uploaded using the same key code if the list needs to be copied for different teaching groups or teachers. The Unit 1 exam papers can be accessed three working days before the date of your first exam; however, they must be kept securely at the end of each day.  \nUnit 2 Listening Exams  \nCentres are reminded that there is an option to download mp3 tracks from Portal for listening exams. Please call 029 20265 154 one working day before the date of the exam to receive the download code.  \nMade-for-Wales GCSEs in French, German and Spanish – teaching from 2025  \nFor further information, and to keep up-to-date with the latest developments, please visit our new qualification pages: French, German, Spanish.  \nProfessional Learning  \nMany of you will have attended our live specification walk-throughs and qualification/Q&A briefings in November 2024.
