Page 4 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE A LEVEL – May/June 2010 9686 02 © UCLES 2010 Quality of Language: Accuracy (for question 3) 5 Very good Consistently accurate. Only very few errors of minor significance. Accurate use of more complex structures (verb forms, tenses, prepositions, word order). 4 Good Higher incidence of error than above, but clearly has a sound grasp of the grammatical elements in spite of lapses. Some capacity to use accurately more complex structures. 3 Sound Fair level of accuracy. Common tenses and regular verbs mostly correctly formed. Some problems forming correct agreement of adjectives. Difficulty with irregular verbs, use of prepositions. 2 Below average Persistent errors in tense and verb forms. Prepositions frequently incorrect. Recurrent errors in agreement of adjectives. 0–1 Poor Little or no evidence of grammatical awareness. Most constructions incomplete or incorrect. Consistent and repeated error. The 5 marks for the quality of language will be awarded globally for the whole performance on each set of answers. With regard to length, a concise answer containing all mark-bearing components for content is scored on the full range of marks for language, i.e. length does not determine the quality of language mark. An answer scoring 0 for content cannot score any language marks, and the total available on the whole set of answers will therefore be affected. The final total for language will be reduced on the following scale: Answer(s) worth 2 or 3 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by –1 Answer(s) worth 4 or 5 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by –2 Answer(s) worth 6 or 7 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by –3 Answer(s) worth 8 or 9 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by –4 Note: A minimum of 1 mark for quality of language should be awarded if there are any content marks at all (i.e. 0 language marks only if 0 content marks).
