Practical support to help you deliver this specification

Schemes of work

These schemes of work have been produced to help you implement this Edexcel specification. They are offered as examples of possible models that you should feel free to adapt to meet your needs and are not intended to be in any way prescriptive. It is in editable word format to make adaptation as easy as possible.

These schemes of work give guidance for:

• Content to be covered

• Approximate time to spend on different key themes

• Ideas for incorporating and developing the assessment skills related to each unit.

Suggested teaching time

This schedule is based on a two year course covering five and a half terms with an allocation of two hours of curriculum time per week. This would be a 63 week course with total teaching time of approximately 126 hours. This scheme of work is aimed at students who have studied Chinese previously. Suggests time allocations for the different skill areas:

• Paper 1: Listening. 28 hours

• Paper 2: Reading: 28 hours

Writing: 28 hours

• Paper 3 Speaking: 42 hours, as the 10 minute paper can be demanding to candidates.

• Total 178 hours, to incorporate assessment intervals in accordance with the scheme of work.

Other course planning support

You will find other support for planning the course in the Teacher’s Guide. This is a free downloadable resource that you can access at quals/iGCSE.
