GCSE SPANISH 3
GCSE SPANISH
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Aims and objectives
This GCSE specification in Spanish for use in Wales is based on a conviction that
learners studying a modern foreign language will develop their desire and ability to
communicate with and understand speakers of Spanish in a variety of contexts and for a
variety of purposes.
The specification supports the aim that the study of a modern foreign language will
broaden horizons, develop cultural knowledge and understanding and foster transferable
skills such as confidence, communication, problem solving and creativity.
The specification also aims to provide learners with a solid foundation on which to
prepare them for future language study.
This WJEC GCSE specification in Spanish will enable learners to:
 develop their ability to communicate confidently and coherently with native speakers
in speech and writing, conveying what they want to say with increasing accuracy
 express and develop thoughts and ideas spontaneously and fluently
 listen to and understand clearly articulated, standard speech at near normal speed
 deepen their knowledge about how language works and enrich their vocabulary in
order for them to increase their independent use and understanding of extended
language in a wide range of contexts
 acquire new knowledge, skills and ways of thinking through the ability to understand
and respond to a rich range of authentic spoken and written material, adapted and
abridged, as appropriate, including literary texts
 develop awareness and understanding of the culture and identity of the countries
and communities where the language is spoken
 be encouraged to make appropriate links to other areas of the curriculum to enable
bilingual and deeper learning, where the language may become a medium for
constructing and applying knowledge
 develop language learning skills both for immediate use and to prepare them for
further language study and use in school, higher education or in employment
 develop language strategies, including repair strategies.
The specification meets the Welsh Government's requirements for modern foreign
languages. The content and structure have been developed based on consultation with
practising teachers, senior examiners and subject experts.
Consideration has also been given to the following:





accessibility of assessments for learners of different abilities
topics of interest and relevance to learners
assessments which reward spontaneity and creativity by the learner
length of each assessment.
GCSE SPANISH 4
1.2 Prior learning and progression
There are no previous learning requirements for this specification. Any requirements
set for entry to a course based on this specification are at the school/college’s
discretion.
This specification builds on subject content which is typically taught at key stage 3
and provides a suitable foundation for the study of Spanish at either AS or A level. In
addition, the specification provides a coherent, satisfying and worthwhile course of
study for learners who do not progress to further study in this subject.
1.3 Equality and fair access
This specification may be followed by any learner, irrespective of gender, ethnic,
religious or cultural background. It has been designed to avoid, where possible,
features that could, without justification, make it more difficult for a learner to achieve
because they have a particular protected characteristic.
The protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 are age, disability, gender
reassignment, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex and sexual
orientation.
The specification has been discussed with groups who represent the interests of a
diverse range of learners, and the specification will be kept under review.
Reasonable adjustments are made for certain learners in order to enable them to
access the assessments (e.g. candidates are allowed access to a Sign Language
Interpreter, using British Sign Language). Information on reasonable adjustments is
found in the following document from the Joint Council for Qualifications (JCQ):
Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments: General and Vocational
Qualifications.
This document is available on the JCQ website (www.jcq.org.uk). As a consequence
of provision for reasonable adjustments, very few learners will have a complete
barrier to any part of the assessment.

GCSE SPANISH 5
1.4 Welsh Baccalaureate
In following this specification, learners should be given opportunities, where
appropriate, to develop the skills that are being assessed through the Skills
Challenge Certificate within the Welsh Baccalaureate:
• Literacy
• Numeracy
• Digital Literacy
• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
• Planning and Organisation
• Creativity and Innovation
• Personal Effectiveness.
1.5 Welsh perspective
In following this specification, learners must consider a Welsh perspective if the
opportunity arises naturally from the subject matter and if its inclusion would enrich
learners’ understanding of the world around them as citizens of Wales as well as the
UK, Europe and the world.

2.1 Unit 1
Unit 1: Speaking
Oral test: 12 minutes preparation time
7-9 minutes (Foundation tier)
10-12 minutes (Higher tier)
25% of qualification
60 marks
This unit requires learners to communicate orally in Spanish by participating in a role play, a
photo card discussion and a conversation. Assessment of this unit will also take account of
knowledge of, and accurate application of, grammar and structures. The three broad themes
will be covered across all of the tasks.
See section 3.2 for detailed information on arrangements for conducting the speaking nonexam assessment.
Learners are not permitted to use dictionaries in any part of the assessment.
Task 1 - Role play
(15 marks)
In the role play a scenario will be set based on one of the broad themes. There will be 5
interactions and the learner will be required to;
 respond appropriately to questions or statements as prompted by the stimulus
material
 formulate a question
 respond to an unexpected question.
These responses will target vocabulary and structures from the themes and give opportunity
for learners to cover aspects of the subject content including communicating and interacting
in short conversations. The format will be structured to guide the candidate during this task.
This task will assess the candidate's ability to manipulate language and apply linguistic
knowledge to communicate a message clearly and coherently.
Task 2 – Photo card discussion
(15 marks)
The learner will be given a photo stimulus and two seen questions to respond to during the
discussion. An additional two unseen questions will be asked by the teacher/examiner. The
teacher will lead the questions for the discussion; however, the candidate will have the
opportunity to narrate events, speak spontaneously, exchange opinions and make creative
use of the language.
Task 3 - Conversation
(30 marks)
The conversation will cover content from two of the three broad themes and will be divided
into two parts.
Part 1 will cover the broad theme not already covered by the role play and the photo card.
Candidates will be given a choice of two bullet points upon which to structure their
discussion. It will give candidates the opportunity to produce more extended sequences of
speech, demonstrate their knowledge of the subject content not covered in the role play and
photo card discussion and provide evidence of their linguistic knowledge.
Part 2 will offer candidates a choice of two bullet points based on one of the other two broad
themes not covered in Part 1. The same process as Part 1 applies.

3.2 Arrangements for non-examination assessment
Non-exam assessment accounts for 25% of this GCSE. The following are general
guidelines for the conduct of Unit 1: Speaking. All non-exam assessments must be
conducted under controlled conditions as outlined below, and in accordance with
regulatory requirements.
Task setting
Learners are not permitted to use dictionaries in any part of the assessment.
Tasks will be set by WJEC. The assessment will be carried out by teachers at the centre, audio
recorded and marked by external examiners.
The assessment will consist of three tasks carried out in the following order:
 role play
 photo card discussion
 conversation divided into two parts (Part 1 and Part 2).
Each task will cover one of the broad themes (see page 6). Part 2 of the conversation will be
drawn from one of the remaining broad themes not covered in Part 1 of the conversation.
Example
Task
Theme
Sub-theme
Role Play
Photo Card
Identity and culture
Wales and the World – areas of

Current and future study and
employment
Youth culture
Conversation (part 1)
Conversation (part 2)
Identity and culture
Home and locality
Current study
or
Enterprise, employability
and future plans
Lifestyle
or
Customs and traditions
The tasks will be contained in a four-page task booklet and will be clearly labelled as set 1 to 9.
There will be a total of nine sets per series, each containing a different combination of broad
themes. Once candidate entries have been made, a list allocating a set to each candidate will be
randomly generated. Candidates must not be informed of which set number task booklet they
have been allocated prior to their assessment time. Centres are required to ensure that each
candidate uses the correct set.
Task taking
The speaking assessments will take place during a five-week period between April and May.
Centres may open the packs up to three working days in advance of the first assessment date.
© WJEC CBAC Ltd.
GCSE SPANISH 15
Preparation
On the day(s) when the assessment is conducted, each candidate will have 12 minutes
supervised preparation time. The candidate will be given his/her pre-allocated set and can use
the time to prepare the tasks. The supervisor must ensure that during the preparation time the
candidate does not have access to additional materials and that the preparation timings are
adhered to. During the preparation time the candidate has the opportunity to decide which of
the two bullet points presented for each theme they would like to choose for the conversation
task.
The candidate may, if they wish to, make notes on a single side of A4 paper during the
preparation time, and may refer to these notes during the assessment. The notes will then be
handed to the teacher at the end of the assessment and retained by the centre until the end of
the Enquiry about Results period. There will be no restriction on the number of words or the
material which the notes contain, but the candidate should not write out complete and
continuous sentences nor write on the task booklet. At the end of the assessment the task
booklet must also be handed to the teacher.
Timings
The assessment for foundation tier candidates will last 7-9 minutes and 10-12 minutes for higher
tier candidates. There is no requirement to supervise candidates before the formal preparation
time or after the assessment. However, centres must be mindful to limit opportunities for
collusion in the setting of their assessment schedules within the 5 week period. Centres will
need to keep a record of the schedule (including dates) on which the assessments are
conducted. The arrangements will be subject to JCQ inspections. There will be an authenticity
form for the centre to sign and declare that assessments have been conducted according to the
requirements and this must be submitted to WJEC with the audio recordings.

The timings for each task as indicated in the table above are approximate. If a candidate has
successfully completed the role play they can proceed to the next task; however, teachers
must adhere to the overall timings of 7-9 minutes (foundation tier) and 10-12 minutes (higher
tier). Any speaking evidence that exceeds these timings will not be marked.
Teachers’ prompts for the role plays, the seen and additional questions for the photo card
discussion and guidance for the conversation will be provided in a composite booklet which
will be sent to the Examinations Officer at the centre in a secure pack. Teachers are advised
to familiarise themselves with the materials in advance of the assessments, up to three days
prior to the commencement of the first assessment.
Role play
The role plays contain five interactions and candidates will be instructed who starts the
dialogue on their task card.
© WJEC CBAC Ltd.
GCSE SPANISH 16
Photo card discussion
The candidate will have two questions that they will see during the preparation period on
their task booklet and will be asked two unseen questions. The teacher will lead the
discussion by asking the two seen questions followed by the two unseen questions. The
teacher may rephrase the questions, provided that the same meaning is maintained and
may also repeat or rephrase questions that the candidate does not understand.
Conversation
Part 1
Part 1 of the conversation will cover content from the remaining broad theme not covered by
the role play and photo card discussion. The candidate must choose one of the nominated
bullet points for their discussion. The teacher/examiner will ask the candidate which bullet
point they have chosen. The candidate will then be expected to initiate the conversation. If
the candidate is unable to do so then the teacher/examiner may prompt the candidate with a
question. This will be reflected in the awarding of marks for communication and interaction.
Part 2
The candidate will have a choice of two bullet points taken from a broad theme not covered
in Part 1 of the conversation. The teacher/examiner will ask the candidate which bullet point
they have chosen and will start the conversation.
The teacher/examiner must ensure that each part of the conversation is given equal timings
of between 1½ and 2½ minutes for foundation tier and between 2½ and 3½ minutes for
higher tier.
It is important that the candidate has the opportunity to demonstrate extended responses
and is supported by the teacher. Suggested questions for the conversation will be provided
in the teacher's composite booklet by theme. They are examples only and are not
prescriptive or exhaustive. It is important the teacher responds to what they are hearing and
does not simply ask a list of prescribed questions.
In both parts of the conversation the candidate should be looking to:




provide facts and information relating to the sub-theme chosen
to give and/or justify their ideas and/or opinions
to narrate events or give an account of something that happened related to the topic
talk about their future plans or ideas relating to the topic.
Candidates’ performance depends not only on their own skills and ability but also on the
nature of the additional questions asked by the teacher/examiner. The teacher is therefore
advised to familiarise themselves with the descriptors on the assessment grids for
foundation and higher tier conversations and to ensure that their questioning gives
candidates opportunities to achieve their potential in each section of the mark scheme.
