ENGLISH LITERATURE (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -GCSE English Language has an endorsed component covering spoken language. This endorsement is reported as a separate grade (Pass, Merit, Distinction or Not Classified) and will not contribute to the result of the GCSE English Language qualification.

Detailed explanation-2: -The spoken language assessment in the GCSE (9-1) English Language qualification is a separately endorsed component. Centres are responsible for task setting: candidates deliver a prepared spoken presentation on a chosen topic decided by the teacher and candidate ahead of the assessment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Edit. English GCSE no longer includes coursework, but it does have a speaking and listening assessment, called the Spoken Language Endorsement (’SLE’). Schools will not normally accept private candidates for this part of the GCSE, although private exam centres may.

Detailed explanation-4: -Assessment criteria There are no marks for the Spoken Language endorsement. Students should be awarded a grade (Pass, Merit or Distinction) using the assessment criteria below. Students who do not reach the Pass standard, or who do not attempt the assessment, must be recorded as Not Classified.

Detailed explanation-5: -Submitting endorsement grades Instead of entering a mark as you do for coursework/controlled assessment, you select the grade-P, M, D or NC (Pass, Merit, Distinction or Not Classified) and submit in the same way.
