1. General Marking Guidance: Clear criteria for assessing speaking tasks with a focus on fairness and consistency; examiners assess responses based on overall quality, not according to grade boundaries. Mark schemes reward what candidates can do and should be applied positively, with flexibility for different responses.

2. Task 1 (Responding to Written Language): Assesses ability to respond to written language in speech, summarizing main points from written sources; four criteria: responding to written language (AO2), understanding of society and culture (AO4), accuracy and range of language (AO3), and interaction (AO1).

3. Task 2 (Discussion on Theme 2): Discusses societal issues related to Germany with a focus on cultural context, using knowledge and critical thinking. Students should present well-developed arguments, supported by information and examples, demonstrating a deep understanding of societal aspects.

4. Interaction (AO1): Evaluates how well students interact with the examiner, sustain conversation, and initiate topics or elicit points of view. The ability to use communication strategies (e.g., rephrasing, clarification) is important for scoring well in this area.

5. Accuracy and Range of Language (AO3): Focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and fluency, rewarding candidates for accurate use of a variety of grammatical structures, including complex language (e.g., subjunctive mood, relative pronouns), and consistent pronunciation.

6. Cultural and Social Understanding (AO4): Assesses how well students demonstrate cultural awareness and justify their viewpoints on German society. Insightful, original responses that make connections between ideas and demonstrate deep understanding are rewarded.
