What is Included in the French GCSE Exam
There are 4 sections in each exam: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
For the listening part, students are offered a recording.
After having listened to it, they have to answer questions which check their understanding of the taped text.
For the reading part, students are given a text with questions to check if they understand the main ideas.
There may be multiple-choice questions, or they must write their answers.
In the writing part, students must create a short essay on a given topic and do a bilingual translation.
For the speaking part, there are two assignments: a role play and the description of a photo card.
Here they have to show their knowledge of vocabulary and grammar learnt.
