Page 4 Mark Scheme: Teachers’ version Syllabus Paper GCE A LEVEL – October/November 2011 9686 02 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2011 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 in 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. Note re questions 3 and 4: The five marks available for quality of language are awarded globally for the whole performance on each set of answers. 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 individual answer scoring 0 for content cannot contribute to the overall Quality of Language mark. This means that the total mark out of 5 available on the whole set of answers is reduced on the following scale: Answer(s) worth a total of 2 or 3 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by 1 Answer(s) worth a total of 4 or 5 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by 2 Answer(s) worth a total of 6 or 7 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by 3 Answer(s) worth a total of 8 or 9 scoring 0: reduce final assessment by 4 Note: A minimum of one 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).

May concentrate on a single issue, but there is still a response to ideas in the text. 2 Below average Limited range of ideas; rather humdrum. May disregard the element of response to the text, and write a largely unrelated free-composition. 0–1 Poor Few ideas to offer on the theme. Banal and pedestrian.
