Reading: Understand And Respond To Written Language

Muhtasari

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.

Malengo

  1. In order to meet the requirements of AO1, students are expected to:
  2. read, understand and respond to a range of written texts varying in type, style, purpose and degree of complexity
  3. develop skills in scanning and skimming texts to identify specific and general points and identify overall message
  4. understand the significance of tense and recognise the relationship between past, present and future
  5. examine writers’ purpose through close consideration of content and use of language
  6. explore what is implied but not actually stated and make appropriate inference and deduction.

Maelezo ya Somo

Reading is Section B of Paper 2. The whole paper is a written exam of 1 hour 45 minutes carrying 78 marks and 65 per cent of the qualification, and it contains a Listening section worth 36 marks and this Reading section worth 42. Those 42 marks are 35 per cent of the qualification on their own, and they are all AO1 marks. There are four texts. They rise in length, in difficulty and in tariff, and the last one is worth nearly three times the first. Access to dictionaries is not permitted at any time during the test.

Maelezo: 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.

ISBN: 978-0-19-420243-5
Maelezo: 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.

Maelezo: 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.
