This Entry Level English specification is designed for use by students who are unlikely to reach Grade G at GCSE, and provides coverage of the National Curriculum tailored to the needs of less able students. Each unit of the Entry Level English specification provides opportunities for progression by providing tasks and assessment opportunities for candidates working at Entry 1 and by identifying the outcomes to be attained at each level. Clearly delineated lines of progression have been clarified in the assessment criteria. This is a unit-based specification, with students required to complete five of the units provided. This format provides a clearly focused small-steps approach to learning while giving teachers the flexibility to plan the course and to timetable assessment to meet the needs of candidates. The specification offers a skills-based approach to the study of English, allowing teachers to select materials most appropriate to the needs and interests of particular groups of students and individuals. This enables students to progress incrementally and methodically. Entry Level Certificate English can be taught alongside Entry Level Functional English. The skills for the two subjects are transferable and are complementary to each other. The specification affords opportunities to assess students in a range of creative and appropriate ways, and the sampling of work by moderators allows teachers to submit the best evidence of their candidates’ work.
