CORE English as a Second Language (Short Course) - 9285 OxfordAQA

Themes

Aperçu

Most subjects give you a list of facts. This one gives you three themes and then asks you to say something worth hearing about them, in English, in three different ways. There is no vocabulary list to memorise and no grammar syllabus to work through. The specification names three distinct themes, states that they apply to all examination papers, and leaves the rest to you. That sounds generous until you sit down to revise and discover there is nothing obvious to revise.

This lesson turns the three themes into something you can actually prepare. You will see exactly which topics and sub-topics the specification names, how the two papers draw on them, and a method for building the fifty or so words a theme really needs. You will also see one short answer written three times at three different standards, with the criteria the specification names for each writing task used to explain what changed.

Objectifs

  1. The specification covers three distinct themes. These themes apply to all examination papers. Students are expected to understand and provide information, ideas and opinions about these themes relating to their own experiences and those of other people, including people in countries/communities where English is spoken.

Note de cours

The specification covers three distinct themes, and it says plainly that these themes apply to all examination papers. That single sentence is the shape of the whole qualification. Whatever you read in the Reading section, whatever recording you hear in the Listening section, and whatever you are asked to write, it will come out of the same three themes. Nothing else is examinable, and nothing inside them is excluded.

International GCSE English as a Second Language for Oxford International AQA Examinations

Sous-titre: Student Book and Audio CD
Éditeur: Oxford University Press
Année: 2017
ISBN: 978-0-19-841713-2
Description: The endorsed student book for this qualification, organised by the three themes and then by the four skills, so its chapters line up with the specification rather than with a grammar syllabus. The enclosed audio disc matters more than the paper does: listening is the one skill you cannot practise from a book alone, and this is the only recorded material written to the right length and speed.

Sous-titre: Fourth edition: Michael Swan's guide to problems in English
Éditeur: Oxford University Press
Année: 2017
ISBN: 978-0-19-420243-5
Description: Not a course book and not for reading front to back. It is an alphabetical answer key to the specific things that go wrong in a second language writer's sentences: which preposition, which tense, countable or uncountable, when the present perfect is wrong. Half the language marks on this qualification turn on exactly these questions, and looking one up takes under a minute.

Année: 2008
ISBN: 978-0-19-433684-0
Description: A short reference grammar small enough to keep in a bag, arranged by structure with a worked example under every rule. For a one year course the point is not to read a grammar but to have one you will actually open when a sentence will not come right.
