Tests and targets (APF3)

Ted Neather

How should teachers adapt to the constantly changing demands of exams and syllabuses at advanced level? Tests and targets offers expert insight into the rationale behind our MFL exams, covering both A level (AS/A2) and developments in the vocational sector. It explains how and why the exams have evolved and supports teachers in adapting to the changes in assessment post-16 through:

• detailed analysis of examination tasks and test-types;
• focus on the implications of the new criteria on teaching methods;
• information on the current range of vocational qualifications, including discussion of their advantages and the motivation they offer to students.
