An easy to use mark sheet covering the NEW (teaching from 2024) AQA GCSE speaking higher paper. Created from the mark scheme and broken down into an easy to use and follow format. Including the new AQA mark scheme developments and guidance on the meanings of key descriptors (e.g. well developed; communicated clearly). There is space for teacher to add student specific notes for even more supportive feedback, that can easily be acted upon by students. While I have made this as clear and easy to follow as possible, it is always useful for teachers to read the original mark scheme breakdown, which also includes sample answers and commentary, to ensure accurate application of the mark scheme. This has been created in a non-language specific format so can be used for Spanish, French or German. However, it was created based from the Spanish mark scheme, so may need additions/amendments for ‘complex language’ requirements, particularly for German. Word document to allow for school specific personalisation (names, logos, specfic class/test, department specific terminology etc). Foundation version available.
