Summary

The OCNW Entry level certificate in ESOL Skills for Life (Speaking & Listening, Reading and Writing) qualifications spans the three sub-levels of Entry in the National Qualifications Framework. Entry 3 is the highest level of the award. The qualifications meet the requirements of the national standards for adult literacy and relates closely to the National Core Curriculum for ESOL.  

There are several features of these qualifications that make them very appropriate for their target candidates:

 

  • Clear linkage between the ESOL core curriculum and the assessment tasks
  • Internal assessment is included for each mode, together with the minimum requirement for external assessment
  • Internal assessment is task based-rather then a building up of a portfolio
  • Both internal and external assessments are marked by assessors, internally moderated and externally moderated by OCNW
  • Mark schemes very user friendly
  • Assessments dates determined by the centre not OCNW
  • Speaking and listening mode has a separate qualification code
Assessment Each unit has an internal and external assessment component. The activities for internal assessment, together with a mark scheme are provided within the specification. External assessments are written by and provided by OCNW, and must be stored in centres under secure conditions. They include mark scheme. Assessors mark both the internal and external assessments. These are internally moderated within the centre, and then subject to external moderation by OCNW
