Reading: Understand And Respond To Written Language
Overzicht
The Reading section is the one place in this qualification where your English is not being judged at all. The specification says it in a single sentence: the appropriate marks will be awarded if the student has satisfactorily communicated his or her understanding, even though the response may contain some errors in the quality of language used. Spelling, grammar and elegance earn nothing here and cost nothing. Forty-two marks are available for understanding four passages, and nothing else.
That should make it the easiest thirty-five per cent of the qualification, and for most candidates it is where the largest number of marks are left on the table. This lesson explains why. It sets out the four strands of AO1 and which of the four texts assesses which, names the six question families the specification's own descriptions imply, and then works the three types that decide the grade: the multi-select collation, the listing question, and the inference item.
Doelstellingen
- In order to meet the requirements of AO1, students are expected to:
- read, understand and respond to a range of written texts varying in type, style, purpose and degree of complexity
- develop skills in scanning and skimming texts to identify specific and general points and identify overall message
- understand the significance of tense and recognise the relationship between past, present and future
- examine writers’ purpose through close consideration of content and use of language
- explore what is implied but not actually stated and make appropriate inference and deduction.
