Introduction
The main aim of this resource is to exemplify standards of Cambridge O Level French 3015, Paper 3 - Speaking, and show how different levels of candidates' performance (high, middle and low) relate to the subject's curriculum and assessment objectives.
Candidate responses have been selected from the Cambridge IGCSE French 0520 Paper 03 from the June 2021 examination series. From 2022 the Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O Level French qualifications include the same examination style and assessment criteria.
The 0520 June 2021 Teachers' Notes 03 and Role Play Cards 03 are available on the School Support Hub.
The recording of each speaking test is followed by Cambridge moderator comments on how the test was conducted, and where and why marks were awarded or omitted. At the end of the test we provide further comments on how the teacher/examiner and candidate performance could improve. In this way, it is possible for you to understand how to conduct the test successfully and what candidates have to do to gain their marks and what they can do to improve their answers.
Common mistakes and misconceptions are also listed for the Cambridge O Level French speaking test.
A transcript of the audios with additional commentary is also provided.
