UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL EXAMINATIONS International General Certificate of Secondary Education MARK SCHEME for the May/June 2006 question paper 0530 SPANISH (FOREIGN LANGUAGE) 0530/04 Paper 4, maximum raw mark 50 These mark schemes are published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the requirements of the examination. They show the basis on which Examiners were initially instructed to award marks. They do not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the Examination. All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills demonstrated. Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the Examination. The minimum marks in these components needed for various grades were previously published with these mark schemes, but are now instead included in the Report on the Examination for this session. • CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark schemes. CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2006 question papers for most IGCSE and GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level syllabuses. www.XtremePapers.com

Page 1 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2006 0530 04 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2006 25 marks per question. Each question is marked over a maximum of 140 words. 1 Communication: 5 marks Put a stroke in the left hand margin for each of the 5 relevant points. Record 0 for a failure to score a point. 2 Language: 15 marks Examiners are required to award ticks beside each Marking Unit which is substantially correct. Errors are not to be indicated. The total number of ticks should be recorded at the foot of the page and converted to a mark out of 15 using the Conversion table at the end of the mark scheme. 3 General Impression: 5 marks The pro rata mark based on the Language mark should serve as the first guide. This mark should be adjusted up or down by one mark where this is justified by positive or negative qualities of the candidate's work. 0-1 Does not rise above the requirements for the Directed Writing Task in Paper 2. 2 Fairly good use of idiom, vocabulary, structures and appropriate tenses. 3 Good use of the above. 4 Very good use of the above. 5 Excellent use of the above. Recording of marks Marks should be recorded at the end of the answer as follows: Communication + Language + General Impression = Total Eg 4/5 + 10/15 + 3/5 = 17/25 Enter each of the two marks on the front of the Script and record the total out of 50. Please ensure that these marks are checked carefully, especially the conversion of ticks to marks for Language.

Page 2 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2006 0530 04 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2006 Counting words (a) In letters ignore any address or date. Ignore also any title which the candidate has invented. No marks may be gained for the above. (b) Count up to exactly 140 words. Award no more marks thereafter, either for Communication or Language. But see note (e). (c) Our definition of a word is a group of letters surrounded by a space: el Señor = two words (d) All numbers count as one word each whether written as figures or as words. 32 = one word treinta y dos = one word (e) When the 140th word splits a Marking Unit, award a mark for the unit if correct in spite of (b). …con  mi amigo. Record a tick for con. (f) Indicate the 140th word by . Repetition of material printed in the rubric Such sections of the rubric which might score no marks for language are discussed at the Examiners' Coordination Meeting. Irrelevant material In the case of a deliberately evasive answer which consists almost entirely of irrelevant material exploited in defiance of the rubric, a score of 0/25 is given. These are rare in IGCSE. 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 Accuracy and Impression. Examiners in doubt should contact the Principal Examiner during the marking period. When part of an answer is clearly irrelevant, include such material in the word count, but bracket it and award no Accuracy marks.

Page 3 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2006 0530 04 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2006 MARKS FOR RELEVANT COMMUNICATION General principles (a) Do not award Communication marks when the required elements are expressed in inappropriate tenses: • eg El año pasado viajo en España = 0 for Communication. Yo viajo does not receive a tick for Language. (The other elements are marked in the usual way.) However reward a Present where a Future context is apparent: • eg El año que viene viajo en España = 1 for Communication. Yo viajo receives a tick for Language. (b) Disallow for Communication the use of the Infinitive or the Past Participle when a finite verb is required • eg Yo comprado manzanas = 0 for Communication and Language Yo comprar manzanas = 0 similarly (c) Tolerate and allow for Communication (but not Language) the use of the Perfect when the Imperfect is required and vice versa. Also tolerate and allow the use of the Future when a Conditional is required. (d) Bracket and exclude from the word count any letter etiquette in Question 2 when a letter is not asked for. (e) A Communication mark can only be awarded to a statement containing a verb in a recognisable and acceptable tense. (f) A Communication mark may only score if it occurs in the first 140 words.

Page 5 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2006 0530 04 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2006 LANGUAGE MARKS This part of the mark scheme applies to both Paper 2 and Paper 4. GENERAL COMMENTS The positive marking scheme is intended to reward both accuracy and ambition. No marks are deducted for errors. MARKING UNITS A tick is awarded for a correct Marking Unit of which each element is correct. A Marking Unit may consist of the correct use of any of the following items: • A noun or pronoun + verb. • A verb used as an infinitive, with or without a preposition. • A noun or pronoun + adjective or adjectival phrase or partitive. • A noun or pronoun + preposition or prepositional phrase. • All pronouns except subject and reflexive • All adverbs (except muy) • All conjunctions (except y (unless changed correctly to e where this is necessary) and pero) See below for details. Each unit (as mentioned above) scores one tick which should be placed above the verb or the preposition. The spelling and possible accent of verbs must be absolutely correct in order to score a mark. Otherwise, inaccuracies in the use of accents are tolerated except where they are used to distinguish between two words of different meaning or function. Eg aun/aún and interrogatives which must be accented ¿Cuándo? ¿Dónde? Eg Estuve alli = 2 ticks Tambien fue = 2 ticks Es fantastico = 2 ticks Misspelling of proper nouns in the case of a person’s name or a town, place or country should be tolerated Eg …con Guilermo = 1 …desde Inglatera = 1 Allow the use of tú or usted in informal letters. In the case of inconsistencies reward the most frequently used. Disallow the use of tu, tus etc in formal letters. Also disallow glaringly inappropriate register. Eg Formal letters: disallow such as ¡Hola! Saludos Informal letters: disallow such as Acuso recibo de su carta… Disallow the inappropriate use of the perfect tense. Do not reward ‘letter etiquette’ for Language IN QUESTION 2 when a letter is not required.

Page 6 Mark Scheme Syllabus Paper IGCSE – May/June 2006 0530 04 © University of Cambridge International Examinations 2006 LETTER ETIQUETTE Start of the letter Reward with a tick for Language the correct use of a suitable opening, ie, the use of Estimado señor, Estimada señora, Muy señor mío or Muy señora mía in a formal letter. Greetings such as ¡Hola! or Querido Juan/Querida María gain a tick if used correctly in informal letters. Award ticks for Language up to a maximum of 5 only, for prelearnt preamble such as: Siento mucho haber tardado tanto en escribirte (maximum 5) Thereafter ignore everything not related to the task set. NB These ‘politesses’ may occur at the end of the letter. If they do, reward to a maximum of 5. Letter ending Allow a maximum of 3 ticks for all formal and informal ‘politesses’. Eg Esperando su respuesta le queda muy agradecido; Escríbeme pronto; Un abrazo fuerte etc. Mark for language in the normal way up to a maximum of 3 ticks. TOLERANCES When a verb is governed by multiple subjects tolerate if either is correct. Eg El mujer y su esposo (1) salieron (1) When an adjective or a preposition is dependent on two or more nouns tolerate if one is correct. Eg Los playas eran (1) grandes (1) …con (1) el mujer y el hombre No credit is usually given to the occasional correctly spelt item in a sequence which makes no sense in Spanish. However recognisable discreet items such as mi casa may be rewarded in such a context. When the gender of the writer is variable, tick only the most frequent. Always accept the declared gender of the writer when marking agreements and ignore the name on the front of the script and at the end of the letter.
