Controlling the Assessment Dear Julia,

On the blog this month Controlling the Assessment - 5 tips for next year When speaking to colleagues about the challenges this year the conversation always seems to end up on GCSE Controlled Assessments. Teaching, managing and marking the Controlled Assessments appears to have been even more complex than people feared. And everyone I know has all their fingers and toes crossed that the difficulties are just teething problems and not a sign of things to come! How to succeed at studying spoken language Like many of us, I was surprised and a little bit scared to see the inclusion of a Spoken Language element to the Controlled Assessments for the new specifications. Having taught AS and A2 English Language for many years, the terminology didn’t daunt me and I had a plentiful supply of transcripts, but I was dreading the outcomes. I had a vision of some of my comedy favourites reduced to a shopping list of terminology. I feared for the great orators of the last century - their landmark speeches recognised only for the fact that they didn’t contain an adjacency pair or a tag question!
