Criteria · weighting · evidence

Mark scheme

Apply these criteria to Question 2 and to the speaking components.

Task completion (TC) — 5 marks

  • Education is described with academic vocabulary.
  • A past achievement is given with كَانَ قَدْ, and a teacher/expert view with reported speech.
  • Both a Type 1 plan and a Type 2 hypothesis are present; 140-155 words, on topic.

Range — 5 marks

  • Reported speech with a verb other than قَالَ (e.g. أَشَارَ إِلَى أَنَّ, أَكَّدَ أَنَّ).
  • A past perfect with correct agreement, and a Type 1 conditional (إِذَا + past → سَـ).
  • A Type 2 conditional (لَوْ + past → لَـ + past) and a formal connector or academic verb.

Accuracy — 5 marks

  • إِنَّ after قَالَ, أَنَّ after all other reporting verbs (2 marks).
  • كَانَ / كَانَتْ agreement in the past perfect (2 marks).
  • The لَـ prefix in the Type 2 result clause (1 mark).

Role play — communication and accuracy — 4 marks

  • Communication (2): all four prompts are addressed clearly and relevantly.
  • Accuracy (2): prompt 1 uses the past perfect and prompt 2 uses قَالَ إِنَّ, both formed correctly.
  • The Type 1 plan in prompt 3 is accurate.

Topic conversation — communication and quality of language — 6 marks

  • Communication (3): answers are developed with point, reason and example.
  • Quality of language (3): the past perfect (Q1), reported speech (Q2) and a Type 2 conditional (Q3) all appear and are accurate.
  • Record whether the candidate produces the Type 2 conditional spontaneously or avoids it.

Accuracy focus
