PAPER 3: SPEAKING

The Mid A Level Mock Paper 3 will test knowledge of six AQA AS topics by applying them to a range of speaking tasks which require regular practice in conversation classes with the Spanish Language Assistant as well as further, individual practice using the Year 12 AS Exam Practice and Year 12 Mid Mock Exam resources on Spanish Moodle. 

Speaking Card Task: 5-6 minutes + 10 minutes preparation time

Students discuss the information and associated AS topic provided on a speaking card. The card will be based on one of the six topics studied in Year 12. The student needs to demonstrate their understanding of the information on the card and their wider knowledge of the relevant topic by responding to 3 questions provided on the card followed by further, open-ended questions set by the examiner. The student must also ask the examiner two questions which are relevant to the topic on the card. No access to a dictionary is permitted in this assessment. 

Presentation Task: 2 minutes + 6-7 minutes discussion

Students initially give an uninterrupated 2 minute presentation on one aspect of the Year 12 AS topics of their choice. The presentation may be prepared and learned in advance of the exam. This is followed by a 6-7 minute discussion based on the information provided in the presentation. Students are required to analyse, evaulate, draw comparisons and give critical responses to the examiner's questions in the discussion. Questions are not provided in advance of this assessment.
