GCSE Spoken Language Presentations 9-1. Mini Scheme of Work. AQA, EDUQAS, OCR.

Mini scheme of work for the new spoken language element of the English Language 9-1 GCSE.

As you know, exam boards are now displaying speaking and listening grades on certificates and video recording of candidates is expected. As such, I've developed this scheme of work to ensure that my classes deliver intelligent, thoughtful and engaging presentations to secure the best possible grades.

This scheme is particularly tailored for the AQA specification (and contains exemplar material from AQA candidates). However, I'm sure it will prove equally useful for all other exam boards with some very minor alterations.

This is a complete mini-scheme that takes around 8 hours to complete properly. You'll also need to allow another couple of lessons on top of this for the presentations themselves.

The Powerpoint will coach your students from start to finish and will cover the following aspects:
* Understanding the spec and mark scheme
* Generating an engaging topic (provocative statement)
* How to research effectively for a presentation
* Structuring the talk itself
* Writing in shorthand for cue cards
* Looking at exemplar material to understand the ingredients of a good presentation
* Paired rehearsals
* Final presentations
* Student reflection activity to record grade and consider skills developed.

You also have a writing frame which takes the form of a 'checklist'. This is ideal for weaker groups who might struggle with the sheer size of the task; it therefore helps them break their speech right down. I've also included the specimen Spoken Language mark scheme that has been issued across all exam boards, for your reference.

I've found that the scheme has worked very well due to the high level of focus in terms of getting the topic right that students talk about. There's lots of guidance on this particular aspect of the process so I'm sure you will have as much success with your groups as I've had.
