We have today received the following message from Ofqual following their consultation on changes to exams in 2021 in which they decided that students taking GCSE modern foreign language exams in 2021 could have their spoken language skills assessed by their teachers in a more flexible way than normal.
Today we have published a number of documents following the consultation on the proposed Subject Level Conditions and Requirements (SLC) for GCSE Modern Foreign Languages (MFL): the consultation analysis report, the decisions document, and the final SLC.The SLC include the assessment criteria teachers should use when assessing speaking skills, along with further details on the assessment approach:https://www.gov.uk/government/news/gcse-mfl-spoken-language-assessment-criteria-and-approach
We also published recently the entry data for the autumn 2020 exam series for GCSE, AS and A level:
