Longer written response An extract from published coursebook material is provided. Candidates identify the purpose of specified individual activities and stages in the material, how specified activities and stages in the material support those discussed previously, and then comment on key assumptions about language learning and skills development that are evident in some or all of the activities and stages. Analysis of resources, approaches and methodologies, and learners and contexts 42 (Part a = 12, Part b = 12, Part c = 18) Two marks are awarded for each point made up to a maximum of 12 marks for Parts a and b. One mark is awarded for each assumption listed; one mark is awarded for each explanation of an assumption; one mark is awarded for correct reference to a relevant exercise for each assumption for Part c.
Part A
General Advice*
For Part a (identifying the purpose of the activities in relation to the extract as a whole): Make sure you indicate which exercise you are referring to and ONLY refer to the exercises that the rubric instructs you to refer to. (It might be worth highlighting/asterisking said exercises, so you don’t get sucked in to writing about others. Use infinitives of purpose, to avoid falling into the trap of describing what the learners do with the exercise. Look at some guideline answers and build up a bank of useful infinitives of purpose that you can use. Make sure your purposes are related to the extract as a whole. There are 16 marks to be had, and you get 2 marks per correct purpose. “Correct”, of course, means “appears in the guidelines answers” – so if you can, throw in some extra purposes for good luck. Practice on any course book material at your disposal. Practice using past papers and checking your answers against the guideline answers/examiner’s report.

Part B
General Advice
Make sure you clearly indicate which exercise your assumption is referring to – if you don’t, you won’t get any marks. There are three marks available per assumption/rationale – so you need your assumption and two reasons in order to score full marks for each. (An extra reason per assumption if you can quickly/easily think of one to put may not go amiss – you give yourself more chance of hitting what’s on the mark scheme then) Don’t forget you are only referring to the activities specified in the rubric – this is where having highlighted/asterisked them to start with is helpful: your mind remains focussed! Lay your answer out clearly so that it is easy for the examiner to identify an assumption and two reasons. ((I actually prefer to make a table for this – one column for assumptions, one for exercise, one for rationale) Use past papers and guideline answers to practice answering and check your answers.

Part C
General Advice
Don't be confused here; this part used to be Task 3 in the older versions of the exam. Now don't forget to do this part! Some candidates do :) Highlight the additional exercises that the rubric requires you to focus on (maybe even in a different colour, if your brain works that way!) You need eighteen correct points for eighteen marks – as ever, a few extra increases your chances of hitting the guideline answers. Use bullet points so that your points are clearly separated Make sure you mention what exercises from Task 2 the additional exercises combine with. Underline them for good measure. (I use a table for this one too: One column for exercise, i.e. additional exercise, one column for how exercises combine with the exercises in task 2. Why? Those column headings remind me to mention the exercises from task two!) Think about interaction patterns, skill development, language development, skill balance, degree of scaffolding provided etc.
