Reading: Understand And Respond To Written

Muhtasari

The Reading paper is the one component where your English is not being judged at all. Both mark schemes say it in the same sentence: the mark is awarded if you have satisfactorily communicated your 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. Sixty marks are available for understanding four passages, and nothing else.

That should make it the easiest paper on the qualification, and for most candidates it is the one 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, counts the question families across both papers on file so you know what is coming, and then works the three question types that decide the grade: the multi-select collation, the inference item, and the whole-text question that closes every passage.

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

The Reading paper is a written exam of 1 hour 15 minutes carrying 60 marks, which is 30 per cent of the qualification. There are four texts. They rise in length, in difficulty and in tariff, and the last one is worth four 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.

Maelezo: A revision guide rather than a course book, which is what you want in the last term. It works question type by question type, and its most useful pages are the sample answers with the marks explained: reading somebody else's mid band answer next to the criteria is the fastest way to see what a band is made of.

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.
