Notice 019/18
Amendments have been made to the Essential English Applied Senior Syllabus 2019.
Summative internal assessment 1: Extended response — spoken/signed response
The conditions of the task have been clarified to highlight that students need to demonstrate assessment objective 9 (non-verbal features) in their delivery.
Summative internal assessment 2: Common internal assessment
The specifications have been clarified.
The words ‘in response to stimulus texts’ have been added to assessment objectives 3 and 6.
Definitions for seen and unseen stimulus texts have been added to the glossary to clarify the specifications for this task.
Summative internal assessment 3: Extended response — multimodal response
The conditions of the task have been clarified to establish that this task can be performed live or pre-recorded.
Summative internal assessment 4: Extended response — written response
In the instrument-specific standards, ‘writer’ has replaced ‘speaker’ in the second characteristic in the Organisation and development criterion to reflect the specifications of the extended written response.
