Downloaded from hlayiso.com ENGLISH FIRST ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE MARKING GUIDELINES (PAPER 1) GR12 0624 INSTRUCTIONS TO MARKERS 1. Candidates are required to answer ALL the questions. 2. These marking guidelines have been finalised at a marking discussion session. Any omissions or queries should be referred to the INTERNAL MODERATOR. All protocol must be followed. 3. Candidates' responses should be assessed as objectively as possible. MARKING THE COMPREHENSION • Because the focus is on understanding, incorrect spelling and language errors in responses should not be penalised unless such errors change the meaning/understanding. (Errors must still be indicated.) • If a candidate uses words from a language other than the one being examined, disregard those words, and if the answer still makes sense, do not penalise. However, if a word from another language is used in a text and required in an answer, this will be acceptable. • For open-ended questions, no marks should be awarded for YES/NO or I AGREE/I DISAGREE. The reason/substantiation/motivation is what should be considered. • When one-word answers are required and the candidate gives whole sentences, mark correct provided that the correct word is underlined/highlighted. • When two/three facts/points are required and a range is given, mark only the first two/three. • Accept dialectical variations. • For multiple-choice questions, accept BOTH the letter corresponding with the correct answer AND/OR the answer written out in full. 2
