AS exams:
Unit 1 (speaking) 30% of the AS, 15% the total A level mark
This unit rewards students for their ability to converse in French on a general
topic area that they have chosen in advance. You will need to demonstrate
that you can engage in a discussion in French that relates to a chosen general
topic area and allied subtopics.
Assessment: 8-10 minute assessment in two sections. Section A requires you to
respond to four Edexcel-set questions on a stimulus related to your chosen
general topic area. Section B requires the teacher/examiner to engage you in a
discussion that, although still relating to the same general topic area and its
linked subtopics, moves away from the main focus of the stimulus.
You will be able to choose your preferred general topic area in advance. In
addition, you will have a 15-minute preparation period when you receive the
stimulus immediately prior to the test. You will not be allowed access to a
dictionary or any other resources at this time. However, it will be possible for
you to make notes. e side of A4) which you can refer to during the examination.

printed materials and to retrieve and convey information by responding to a
range of mainly French-language test types.
