Pleasenotethisisthefinalsittingforthisqualification.Notes: There will be two tiers of examination for the Listening and Reading papers (Foundation tier and Higher tier). Centres are not required to indicate the tier of entry as papers for both tiers will be sent to them and centres may decide on the day of the examination which tier is appropriate for each candidate.

The tier of entry should be indicated on the day of the examination. An attendance register for each tier will be sent to centres. Candidates must be marked present on the attendance register for the paper that they sit, and absent on the attendance register for the paper that they do not sit. Centres are therefore required to complete both attendance registers for all candidates. Candidates who are absent on the day of the examination must be marked as absent on both attendance registers.

Centres are responsible for providing the teacher-examiner to conduct the speaking test. Pearson does not provide visiting examiners for any GCSE language.

Unit 2: Speaking in Italian is internally assessed via controlled conditions. Unit 4: Writing in Italian is sat under controlled conditions and externally marked. For more information please refer to qualifications.pearson.com/languages.Thedeadlinetosubmitmaterialsfortheseunitsis15May.

Pleasenotethisisthefinalsittingforthisqualification.Notes:There will be two tiers of examination for the Listening and Reading papers (Foundation tier and Higher tier). Centres are not required to indicate the tier of entry as papers for both tiers will be sent to them and centres may decide on the day of the examination which tier is appropriate for each candidate.

The tier of entry should be indicated on the day of the examination. An attendance register for each tier will be sent to centres. Candidates must be marked present on the attendance register for the paper that they sit, and absent on the attendance register for the paper that they do not sit. Centres are therefore required to complete both attendance registers for all candidates. Candidates who are absent on the day of the examination must be marked as absent on both attendance registers.

Centres are responsible for providing the teacher-examiner to conduct the speaking test. Pearson does not provide visiting examiners for any GCSE language. Unit 2: Speaking in Urdu is internally assessed via controlled conditions. Unit 4: Writing in Urdu is sat under controlled conditions and externally marked.
