It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2016 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 1 General Marking Notes 2 General Marking Principles 2.1 Crossing out: (a) If a candidate changes his/her mind over an answer and crosses out an attempt, award a mark if the final attempt is correct. (b) If a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question but makes no second attempt at it, mark the crossed out work. 2.2 For Questions 2 and 3, if the candidate has written an answer in the space provided for that purpose, you should ignore anything written anywhere else, unless: (i) there is an indication from the candidate that other material should be considered (ii) the candidate has continued their answer outside the space provided (iii) there is no answer in the space provided 2.3 Annotation used in the Mark Scheme and/or during Marking: (a) tc = ‘tout court’ and means that on its own the material is not sufficient to score the mark. (b) BOD = Benefit of the Doubt and is used to indicate material considered by the Examiner and judged to be more correct than incorrect: the benefit of the doubt is given to the candidate and the mark is awarded. 2.4 No response and '0' marks Award NR (No Response): • If there is nothing written at all in the answer space or • If there is only a comment which does not in any way relate to the question being asked (e.g. 'can’t do' or 'don’t know') or • If there is only a mark which isn’t an attempt at the question (e.g. a dash, a question mark). Award 0: • If there is any attempt that earns no credit. This could, for example, include the candidate copying all or some of the question, or any working that does not earn any marks, whether crossed out or not. 2.5 Optional questions: you must mark all questions attempted by the candidate. Where a question has not been attempted then a NR must be entered. (For Question 3 only, after marking the question(s) the candidate has answered, NR is populated automatically when you click on ‘Complete’.) Where the candidate attempts more than one of the alternatives in Question 3, scoris will automatically only aggregate the candidate’s best result.

Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 3 Detailed Mark Scheme Section 1 Question 1 Candidates are required to list 8 items in French. Read all the items the candidate has listed and award marks as follows: • Select the most correct items up to a maximum of 5. • Award 1 mark for each correct item up to a maximum of 5. • Stop ticking once 5 items have been rewarded. • On Question 1, award marks for items wherever the candidate has written them. • If the candidate offers more than one word per line, award a mark for each acceptable item (e.g. where candidate has linked two words as in gâteau au chocolat / gâteau chocolat = 1 tick; however gâteau et chocolat / gâteau, chocolat (candidate intends these as two items) = 2 ticks). NB the pictures provided on the question paper are only suggestions. Generic mark scheme for Question 1 • Mark for communication. Tolerate inaccuracies, provided the message is clear. • Ignore definite/indefinite article, possessive adjective. • Questionable spellings: (i) Start by referring to sheet of examples in the mark scheme. Only refer to (ii) to (v) below if no decision on the spelling you have encountered is recorded there. (ii) ‘If in doubt, sound it out’: if you read what the candidate has written, does it sound like the correct answer? (iii) Look-alike test: does what the candidate has written look like the correct answer e.g. one letter missing but no other word created. (iv) If the first part of the word is correct, small errors in what comes next are less likely to impede communication (unless they suggest another meaning). (v) Where letters are transposed, the word is likely to communicate (unless another word has been created). • Once marking proper starts, if there are five clearly acceptable items, award marks wherever these are in the list. This approach may allow questionable versions to be ignored. • Refuse all nouns which are repeated and which do not have a separate meaning: • gâteau, gâteau au chocolat: award one mark to each item • gâteau au chocolat, gâteau à la crème: award one mark to each item • gâteau, gâteau au chocolat, chocolat: award one mark to each item • gâteau, grand gâteau: award one mark for the first gâteau. • Reject misspelt words which suggest a word with a quite different meaning, for example, poison for poisson. • Where nouns are usually plural, accept singular and vice versa.

Qu’est-ce qu’il faut acheter? Faites une liste, en français, de 8 choses à acheter. Accept only food and drink. The following are examples.

Page 5 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Question 2 Candidates are required to answer the question. Read the whole answer and award marks as follows: • Communication: award a mark out of 10, according to the instructions in 2.1. • Language: award a mark out of 5, according to the instructions in 2.2. 2:1: award a mark out of 10 for Communication Generic mark scheme for Communication (Question 2) (i) Place the appropriate ‘numbered’ tick as close as possible to each relevant communication point. (ii) Award ticks flexibly across the tasks for each piece of relevant information conveyed, up to a maximum of 10. HOWEVER, each of the 4 tasks must be covered to get the 10 communication marks: • If 1 of the tasks is missing, the maximum communication mark is 9. • If 2 of the tasks are missing, the maximum communication mark is 8. • If 3 of the tasks are missing, the maximum communication mark is 7. (iii) Add up the ticks to give a mark out of 10 for Communication. (iv) For COMMUNICATION • look for a verb (finite or infinitive) before awarding a mark. Lists without a verb will not score. • see Appendix II for rules on how to decide whether a verb is accurate enough to convey meaning. • for language other than verbs, use ‘rules’ in Question 1: look alike, sound alike, etc. • misplaced adjectives, negatives and adverbs will not usually compromise communication. (v) LISTS = a maximum of 3 marks for communication: lists of 1–3 items = 1 mark; lists of 4 items = 2 marks; lists of 5–6 items = 3 marks. • elle a les cheveux noirs avec de beaux yeux et une petite bouche = 1 mark (1 verb = a list of 3) • elle a les cheveux noirs (1), est de taille moyenne (1), et elle est jolie (1) = 3 marks (3 verbs). (vi) Only reward each piece of information once. (vii) Do not penalise factual errors. (viii) What the candidate writes may not follow the order of the tasks on the question paper – this is fine. [Total marks for Communication: 10]

Some awareness of verb usage, but inconsistent. The writing is sufficiently accurate for meaning to be conveyed. 3 Very basic vocabulary and structure. Little awareness of verb usage (e.g. infinitives regularly used instead of finite verbs). Despite regular errors, the writing often conveys some meaning. 2 A few phrases or short sentences are accurate enough to be comprehensible. Very simple sentence structure. 1 Disjointed words or short phrases, one or two of them accurate enough to be comprehensible. 0 One or two disjointed words or short phrases may be recognisable.

Page 9 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Section 2 Question 3 Candidates answer 1 question from a choice of 3. Read the whole answer and award marks as follows: Communication • award a mark out of 10, according to the instructions in 3.1 Language • award a mark out of 8 for Verbs, according to the instructions in 3.2 • award a mark out of 12 for Other linguistic features, according to the instructions in 3.3 3.1 – award a mark out of 10 for Communication Generic mark scheme for Communication (Question 3): (i) There are 5 relevant communication points per question, each worth a maximum of 2 marks. (ii) For each relevant communication point, use the appropriate numbered tick and place up to 2 of these ticks as close as possible to each relevant communication point (in the body of the answer). 2 ticks Message clearly communicated. Minor errors (adjective endings, use of prepositions etc.) are tolerated. 1 tick Communication of some meaning is achieved, but the message may be ambiguous or incomplete. 0 ticks Nothing of worth communicated. (iii) Look for a verb before awarding a mark for communication. See Appendix II for rules on how to decide whether a verb is accurate enough to convey meaning. A finite verb (or phonetic version etc.) gives access to 2 marks, a non-finite verb (infinitive/past participle etc.) gives access to 1 mark. (iv) Add up the ticks to give a mark out of 10 for Communication. [Total mark for Communication: 10]

Page 22 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 3.3 – award a mark out of 12 for Other linguistic features Generic mark scheme for Other linguistic features (Question 3): (i) Do not consider accuracy of verbs for your assessment of Other linguistic features, but do bear in mind idiomatic and/or particularly judicious choice of verbs. (ii) Award a mark out of 12 for Other linguistic features, according to the Grade descriptors in the table below (see Note on using mark schemes with Grade descriptors (Appendix I)). (iii) Use the highlighter marking tool to highlight the first new use of any correct usage. Use the highlighter marking tool to underline a creditable attempt at a structure. This annotation is intended to help you arrive at an appropriate mark. Therefore, the kinds of things you highlight/underline will vary according to the quality of work, e.g. for a mark of 7/8 or above to be awarded the assumption is that ‘spelling of common words, genders, adjectival agreements and basic prepositions are almost always correct’ so annotation will focus on the degree of success with more complex language.

Page 23 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Grade descriptors for Other linguistic features (Question 3) 11–12 • Uses a wide range of structures effectively; produces longer, fluent sentences with ease. • Highly accurate at this level, though not necessarily faultless. • Makes effective use of a wide range of vocabulary fully appropriate to the task. 9–10 • Attempts a range of structures with a good degree of success. • More complex language usually error-free^^. • Uses a variety of relevant vocabulary at this level. 7–8 • In control of simple structures. Varied success with more complex structures. • Accuracy is fairly consistent throughout*. Errors may occur when more ambitious language is attempted. • Has sufficient vocabulary to add some interest to the writing. 5–6 • Attempts more than basic structures. • On balance, the work is more accurate than inaccurate. • Straightforward vocabulary relevant to the task. 3–4 • Reliant on basic structures. • Some examples of correct language. Meaning usually conveyed. • Basic vocabulary. 1–2 • A few phrases or short sentences are accurate enough to be comprehensible. Very simple sentence structure. 0 • One or two disjointed words or short phrases may be recognisable. ^^subordinate clauses, linking words, object pronouns, comparative adjectives/adverbs, strong negatives usually error free. *spelling of common words, genders, adjectival agreements and basic prepositions are almost always correct. (i) Consider the extent to which the following are used correctly and appropriately when assessing the candidate’s control of structures: • Subordinate clauses, including car/parce que, qui and que (relative pronouns), ce qui and ce que. Indirect or reported speech (il a dit que, je pense que). Time clauses with quand, pendant que etc. and si (= if) • Object pronouns (il m’a dit) and ‘strong’ pronouns (chez nous etc.) • Conjunctions other than et and linking words (e.g. cependant, malheureusement, toutefois) • Prepositions – Time: depuis, pendant, pour, du… au… etc./– Place: en, dans etc. • Negatives, especially strong forms • Adverbs • Adjectives, including possessives and demonstratives. Also comparatives and superlatives • Expressions of quantity • Partitive articles, especially de after negative, use of du, de la, des • Appropriate use of politesses in the letter. [Total mark for Other linguistic features: 12] [Total for Question 3: 30]

Page 24 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Appendix I Note on using mark schemes with Grade descriptors It is important that you award marks positively. In order to ensure that you reward achievement rather than penalise failure or omissions, you should start at the bottom of the mark scheme and work upwards through the descriptors when awarding marks. You should adopt a ‘best fit’ approach. You must select the set of descriptors provided in the mark scheme that most closely describes the quality of the work being marked. As you work upwards through the mark scheme, you will eventually arrive at a set of descriptors that fits the candidate’s performance. When you reach this point, you should always then check the descriptors in the band above to confirm whether or not there is just enough evidence to award a mark in the higher band. For example, when marking Question 3 you may find that a candidate uses a variety of relevant vocabulary but has varied success with more complex structures. In such cases, you will need to award a mark that takes into account both the strengths and weaknesses of the piece of work. To select the most appropriate mark within each set of descriptors, use the following guidance: • If most of the descriptors fit the piece (and after you have considered the band above), award the top mark in the band. • If there is just enough evidence (and you had perhaps been considering the band below), award the lowest mark in the band. Note on irrelevant material In the case of a deliberately evasive answer which consists entirely of irrelevant material exploited in defiance of the rubric, a score of 0 is given. This is extremely rare. A genuine attempt to answer the question which fails due to a misunderstanding of the rubric will normally lose Communication marks but will score for Language. You should consult your Team Leader.

Page 25 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 Appendix II: Communication Rules on how to decide whether a verb is accurate enough to convey meaning Communication • An attempt at a verb is required for any communication mark to be awarded. • For QUESTION 2, candidates score 1 or 0 marks for each piece of relevant information they communicate. For a sentence/phrase to be considered for the award of a mark for communication, the verb must meet or go beyond the criteria outlined in B. • For QUESTION 3, candidates score 2, 1 or 0 marks for communicating each task. For the criteria the verb must fulfil in order for a sentence/phrase to be considered for the award of 2 marks for communication, see A below. For the criteria the verb must fulfil for a sentence/phrase to be considered for the award of 1 mark for communication, see B below. • Where a verb fits the criteria for C, the mark for communication is 0. • Although some allowances are made for faulty verbs when awarding COMMUNICATION marks (see below), in order for a verb to score a LANGUAGE tick, it must be correct. • ‘Ticks’ for communication are to be placed just above the end of the qualifying sentence/phrase. A QUESTION 3 ONLY: where THE VERB IS APPROPRIATE IN THE MEANING IT CONVEYS AND THE TIME FRAME IS APPROPRIATE 2 communication marks are awarded in the following cases. (i) For 2 communication marks: accept a Present where a Future context is apparent L'an prochain je voyage en France = 2 for communication. (Je voyage receives a tick for verb) (ii) For 2 communication marks: accept the use of a Future when a Conditional would be correct and vice versa (iii) For 2 communication marks: accept a 'phonetic version' of the correct time frame J'ai passer/passez les vacances = 2 for communication Les gens pense/pensait que = 2 for communication Il a commencé à joué = 2 for communication (Il a commencé à joue = 1 for communication – joue is not phonetic) (iv) For 2 communication marks: accept the use of any past tense when a past is required, even when a different past tense would be grammatically correct or appropriate Allow Perfect, Imperfect, Pluperfect or Past Historic. Ignore inconsistency of the Perfect and Past Historic if it occurs (v) Use of avoir with a past participle when être is correct: award 2 communication marks J’ai resté en France = 2 marks for communication However the use of être when avoir is correct = 1 communication mark, e.g. Je suis mangé la pomme (see B (iii))

Page 26 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 (vi) Errors of accent: award 2 communication marks (e.g. il va telephoner = 2; il commencais = 2; j’achete = 2), except in the following cases For 2 communication marks, insist on the accent on a past participle of –er verbs Il a joue = 1 for communication (as an attempted perfect tense) Il joué = 1 for communication (as an attempted present tense) For 2 communication marks insist on an accent when an adjective is also a past participle Il était fatigue = 1 for communication Il être fatigue = 1 for communication Il et fatigue = 1 for communication For 2 communication marks, tolerate a grave accent for an acute accent Il a jouè = 2 for communication (vii) Errors of punctuation: award 2 communication marks in spite of errors of punctuation Jai fait… = 2 for communication in spite of missing apostrophe In addition jai fait scores a tick for the verb (viii) Errors of elision: award 2 communication marks in spite of errors of elision Je aime…/Je habite… = 2 for communication in spite of missing elision Je aime/Je habite: no tick for the verb as elision has not been made (ix) Single consonant where there should be double and vice versa: award 2 communication marks J’appele/J’apelle/J’apele/J’appelle ma mère au téléphone = 2 for communication J’appelle ma mere au telephone = tick for the verb (x) In complex sentences, reward communication based on the verb in the subordinate clause and reward according to the normal rules (it is the information in the subordinate clause which fulfils the task) Mon ami a dit qu’il avait mal au genou = 2 for communication (in addition both verbs can receive a tick) Mon ami annonce (wrong tense) qu’il avait mal au genou = 2 for communication (in addition second verb can receive a tick) However: Mon ami a dit qu’il a mal au genou = 1 for communication (see B (viii)) (in addition first verb can receive a tick) Mon ami a dit qu’il mal au genou = 0 for communication (no verb in subordinate clause) (first verb can receive a tick) Je pensais que j’étais malade = 2 for communication (in addition both verbs receive a tick) However: Je pensais qu’il pleut = 1 for communication (see B (viii)) Je pensais que j’avais malade = 0 for communication (see B (iv)) (In both cases, first verb can receive a tick)

Page 27 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 (xi) Use of a verb in the ‘indicative’ where a subjunctive would be expected: award 2 communication marks Il faut que j’aille chez ma grand-mère = 2 for communication (plus both verbs receive a tick) Il faut que je vais chez ma grand-mère = 2 for communication (plus both verbs receive a tick) (xii) Treat the verbs retourner, revenir and rentrer as synonyms: award 2 communication marks (xiii) «ne» omitted in a negative statement: award 2 communication marks J’aime pas la biologie = 2 for communication (in addition, the verb receives a tick) However Je n’aime la biologie = 1 for communication (see B (ix)) (verb receives a tick)

Page 28 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 B QUESTIONS 2 AND 3: where THE VERB IS APPROPRIATE IN THE MEANING IT CONVEYS but is flawed in the following ways, the message is partially conveyed, and 1 communication mark will be awarded. (i) The candidate has produced a correct spelling of an inappropriate form/part/tense of an appropriate verb: award 1 communication mark Task: where did you go on holiday? Candidate writes: Je passe les vacances en France Je passons les vacances en France Je passé les vacances en France Je vais passer les vacances en France Je suis passer les vacances en France J’irons en France Je allez en France J’aille en France Je vas en France All score 1 mark for communication In all these cases, passer is an appropriate choice of verb in terms of meaning. The task (‘where did you go on holiday?’) requires a past tense (or phonetic version of a past tense) for 2 communication marks to be awarded: these versions do not meet this requirement. However, in all these cases the candidate has produced an existing part/tense/form of what is an appropriate verb and therefore 1 communication mark is awarded Ticks are not scored for these verbs Task: how did you and your friends react? Candidate writes: Mes amis est contents J’été triste Ils avons pleure All score 1 mark for communication Task: what do you want to eat for lunch? Candidate writes: Je veux mange un sandwich = 1 for communication Je veux = tick for verb Task: what will you do next year? Candidate writes: L'an dernier je voyage en France = 1 for communication L'an dernier je vais voyager en France = 1 for communication L'année prochaine j’allait en ville = 1 for communication (if the task required a past tense, J’allait en ville tout court could score 2 for communication as a phonetic rendering of J’allais en ville) …je voyage… verb is not rewarded as there is no future context (e.g. L’an prochain…) …je vais voyager… scores 2 ticks for verbs (je vais, voyager) as the task requires a future …j’allait… verb does not receive a tick L’année prochaine j’aille en ville = 1 for communication (aller is an appropriate verb, aille is a form of the verb aller (subjunctive)) L’année prochaine j’aillait en ville = 0 for communication (aillait is not any part of the verb aller)

Page 29 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 (ii) The candidate has produced a phonetic spelling of an inappropriate form/part/tense of an appropriate verb: award 1 communication mark Task is to say what s/he enjoyed doing on holiday. Candidate writes: J’aim le tennis = 1 for communication (phonetic version of the incorrect tense (j’aime) of an appropriate verb) J’amie (le tennis) = 0 for communication (amie is not any form/part/tense of the verb aimer) Task is to say how s/he got home. Candidate writes: Je prennez le bus = 1 for communication (phonetic version of an incorrect part/tense (Je prenez) of an appropriate verb) Je prendais le bus = 0 for communication (prendais is not any form/part/tense (nor a phonetic version thereof) of the verb prendre) (iii) Use of être as the auxiliary when avoir would be correct: award 1 communication mark (see also A (v)) Je suis mangé la pomme = 1 (iv) Use of être instead of avoir in some clearly defined idiomatic phrases: award 1 communication mark J’étais peur = 1 J’étais soif = 1 J’étais faim = 1 Elle était cinq ans = 1 (no tick for the verb) (no tick for the verb) (no tick for the verb) (no tick for the verb) However Elle est les cheveux gris = 0 J’avais fatigué = 0 J’avais malade = 0 (v) Manger, nager, ranger etc. – ‘e’ missing from nous form and imperfect: award 1 communication mark Je mangais des pommes = 1 (no tick for the verb) Nous nagons après l’école = 1 (no tick for the verb) Je mang des pommes = 0 (vi) The following commonly seen inappropriate usages: award 1 communication mark Accept for 1 mark il est beau for il fait beau j’ai écouté un bruit for j’ai entendu un bruit c’est chaud for il fait chaud j’ai fait une promenade à l’école for je suis allé à l’école à pied j’ai regardé un accident for j’ai vu un accident Refuse j’ai regardé pour mon sac for j’ai cherché mon sac

Page 30 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 (vii) The following commonly seen mis-usages: award 1 communication mark il et (venu me voir) je return(e) etc. (accept returner for retourner) je s’appelle (Carole) However, Il m’appelle (Carole) when the candidate is trying to give his/her own name = 0 as nothing of worth is communicated (viii) In complex sentences, consider the verb in the subordinate clause when awarding the mark for communication and reward according to the normal rules (see also A (x)) Mon ami a dit qu’il a mal au genou = 1 for communication il a mal au genou, contains an appropriate verb in the wrong time frame which is awarded 1 mark for communication (in addition, first verb receives a tick) Je pensais qu’il pleut = 1 for communication The subordinate clause, qu’il pleut, contains an appropriate verb in the wrong time frame which is awarded 1 communication mark according to the usual rules) (in addition, first verb receives a tick) (ix) «pas», or equivalent, is omitted in a negative statement = 1 for communication Je n’aime la biologie = 1 for communication (verb receives a tick) However J’aime pas la biologie = 2 for communication (in addition, the verb receives a tick)

Page 31 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0520 43 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 C QUESTIONS 2 AND 3: award 0 communication marks in the following cases. (i) No attempt at a verb = 0 for communication je pied à l’ecole = 0 for communication je promenade mon chien = 0 for communication il pluie = 0 for communication However, je travail à l’école (in response to Qu’est-ce que vous faites à l’école?) = 2 for communication because travail works phonetically (ii) The verb attempted delivers a message different from the desired one = 0 for communication mon père a un prof for mon père est prof = 0 for communication j’ai travaillé en Australie for j’ai voyagé en Australie = 0 for communication il pleure for il pleut = 0 for communication (iii) The attempt at the verb is not a part/form of an appropriate verb or a phonetic rendition thereof = 0 for communication L’année prochaine j’aillait en ville = 0 for communication (aillait is not any part of the verb aller) Je prendais le bus = 0 for communication (prendais is not any part of the verb prendre) J’amie (le tennis) J’alle au cinema Je m’apple Carole (iv) There are two subjects = 0 for communication il j’aime = 0 for communication
