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.

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0546 41 © 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 Marking: (a) ^ = 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 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, the system will automatically only aggregate the candidate’s best result.

Generic mark scheme for Question 1 • Answers should be marked for communication. Tolerate inaccuracies, provided the message is clear: (a) ‘If in doubt, sound it out’: if you read aloud what the candidate has written, does it sound like the correct answer? (b) Look-alike test: does what the candidate has written look like the correct answer? Session-specific instructions for Question 1: things to buy at the market • The following are examples. Accept any item the candidate could buy in the market. ACCEPT pisang tembikai ayam susu mi/mihum lobak merah ikan cili/lada mangga telur [Total: 5]

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 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 (and so on). (iii) Add up the ticks to give a mark out of 10 for Communication. (iv) For COMMUNICATION, be tolerant of time frames/spelling (for spelling, use ‘rules’ in Question 1: look alike, sound alike, etc.). (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 • dia mempunyai rambut yang hitam dan mata yang cantik dan mulut yang kecil = 1 mark (1 verb = a list of 3) • dia mempunyai rambut yang hitam (1), berketinggian sederhana /dia sederhana tinggi (1), dan dia ada rupa yang cantik (1) = 3 marks (3 verbs). (vi) Only reward each piece of information once, e.g. “dia pemain hebat” cannot score both as description and reason for liking “dia pemain hebat” and “muzik dia hebat” can both be rewarded). (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.

Page 9 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper Cambridge IGCSE – May/June 2016 0546 41 © Cambridge International Examinations 2016 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. These are extremely rare. The 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. When part of an answer is clearly irrelevant, highlight it and do not consider it when deciding on the Language mark. (e.g. Highlight and do not consider for Language an introduction to a question consisting of an unwanted self portrait on the lines of: Helo, nama saya X. Saya berumur 16. Saya tinggal di Y or letter etiquette where a letter is not required.)
