COMMENTS: 1 GCSE Introduction 1=#N is a keen and talented linguist and is making excellent progress. 2=#N has a sound understanding of the language and is making very good progress. 3=#N is now more confident in using and understanding the language and is beginning to make good progress. 4=#N is bubbly and enthusiastic and always wants to do well. 5=It is a joy to teach #N German. #E is a polite, enthusiastic and sensitive student who wants to do well and who has made a great deal of progress this year. 6=#N has proved to be a gifted and committed linguist who works with determination and enthusiasm to achieve the high standards #e sets #s. 7=#N has a mature approach means #e will always seek clarification if #e doesn't fully understand something, enabling #m to develop #h comprehension in the language to a very high level. 8=Admittedly, #N has found the start of this year somewhat challenging but has, for the most part, remained positive and keen to improve #h level of spoken and written German. 9=#N has found this year somewhat challenging but after a somewhat shaky start, remained positive and keen to improve on #h level of spoken and written German. 10=#N has made some sound progress in Spanish this year and deserves to be congratulated for #h positive attitude and perseverance with #h studies. 11=#N has shown a good attitude in lessons and has made excellent progress. 12=#N is a capable student who I am confident will achieve good grades at the end of this academic year if #e works hard at home. 13=#N is an enthusiastic student who is always willing to take an active role in lessons. 14=#N is a well-behaved student whose motivation to do well varies in #MFL. 15=#N has shown potential in #MFL but #h inconsistent approach has meant that #e has not made as much progress as #e is capable of. 16=#N has shown great potential in #MFL and #e should be proud of what #e has achieved this year 17=#N can produce work of a good standard, but #h effort is somewhat inconsistant. 18=#N has found German a challenge this year however #h is always keen to contribute and try #h best. COMMENTS: 2 GCSE Success in learning 1=#N is certainly capable of achieving the top grades in this subject but could have been more proactive in catching up with missed work to maximise #h chances. 2=#E can communicate with increasing fluency and has grown in confidence as the course has progressed. 3=#N writes with high levels of accuracy and has strong comprehension skills in both listening and reading. 4=#E has equally made #adj progress in the field of essay writing and is beginning to write with much more structure, logic and coherence than at the beginning of the academic year. 5=#N seems to enjoy #skills tasks and I would like to encourage #m to speak in the target language with other students. 6=During the year #e has improved #h grammatical awareness so that #e can now write more accurately on a range of topics. 7=#E has a natural flair for the language and communicates in Spanish fluently and spontaneously, trying #h best to use new vocabulary and grammatical structures. 8=#E tends to become nervous in speaking exams, so now needs to spend as much time as possible learning the answers to the speech and conversation topics to become more confident. 9=Homework is always submitted to #adj standards and #e has achieved excellent results in #h recent exams. 10=At times, #e class work is of a good standard and #e demonstrates that #e is very capable of applying vocabulary and grammatical concepts in #skills and #skills. 11=#N listens to and takes on board feedback and this was evident in the most recent assessments, where #e surpassed #h target grade. 12=In lessons #e understands the instructions given in #MFL but sometimes doesn't engage fully, so a lot of the task is left incomplete. COMMENTS: 3 GCSE Limitations in learning 1=The results in the assessments throughout the year reflect this and so far #e has stayed below #m potential. 2=Another concern is home learning as #N failed to hand in a number of written pieces of homework. 3=At other times, #e does not show much willingness to do well and produces very little work 4=#N needs to ensure #e gives opinions and justifies them using a variety of adjectives. 5=#H work, although accurate is not detailed enough. 6=#E sometimes loses concentration easily and this is an area #e should target in order to avoid missing key explanations. 7=#N should also focus on developing #h #skills speaking skills. 8=#E needs to pay special attention in #h #skills exam where #e will have to show confidence using a variety of tenses, connectives, opinions and justifications. 9=#N has struggled more with comprehension of texts and translation which was reflected in #h marks. 10=In lessons #N works well, there are times when instead of checking #h work thoroughly #e gets distracted but with a quick prompt #e re-focuses 11=In lessons #N doesn't always fully engage in the learning, which means #e misses instructions given and as a result doesn't make the most of lesson time. 12=#N sometimes lacks confidence in #h ability and I feel that this has hindered #h progress slightly. 13=#N is always focused and does her best in all tasks, continues to learn vocabulary which enables her to achieve steady progress. COMMENTS: 4 GCSE Advice for improvement 1=#E needs to pay special attention in #h writing exam where #e will have to show confidence using a variety of tenses, connectives, opinions and justifications. 2=#N should also focus on developing #h #skills skills. 3=I recommend #m to do some extension activities outside lessons such as extra readings to help #m to increase #h range of vocabulary. 4=It will also be very beneficial for #m if #e starts learning new verbs and new vocabulary every week. 5=Revising verb tenses will also help #N to be ready for the end of module exam. 6=#E should also start incorporating #h vocabulary and grammar knowledge while speaking. 7=I would like to encourage #m to start doing some extension work at home learning new words, connectives, opinions and verbs. 8=In order to reach #h full potential #N should revise vocabulary and grammar -especially verb tenses- at home on a regular basis 9=In order to reach #h full potential #N should take the time when doing a piece of writing in order to avoid silly basic errors. 10=#N should also get into the habit of noting down new vocabulary in lessons, and ensure that #h notes are clear and well-structured to be able to revise from. 11=It would be good to see #N applying #s to the best of #h ability in every lesson and ask questions in case #e needs further support. 12=#E would also need to get into a routine to learn and revise vocabulary more regularly and rigorously as this will help #m to further develop all four skills. 13=While most areas of the course are developing well, #N needs to focus on #? in more detail if #e is to achieve #h full potential. 14=I feel sure that with a continuation of the same hard work and commitment #e can make still more improvement. 15=#E will need to develop a more proactive attitude to ensure #e achieves #h full potential. 16=In order to make further progress, #N must now work independently to practise #h #skills and #skills skills; #e can do this by continuing to revise vocabulary regularly as well as using the Active Learn website. 17=In order to make further progress #N must work on #h listening skills, #e can watch clips online in Spanish and use the Active Learn website 18=In order to improve, it is vital that #N completes homework tasks on time and to the best of #h ability. 19=I would also like #m to consolidate the grammar that we have studied this year, by completing the relevant pages in the workbook to practise the verb endings. 20=It would be beneficial for #N to ask immediately when #e is unsure of something so that #e can consolidate new learning. COMMENTS: 5 GCSE Final comments 1=Well done #N keep up the good work! 2=I am sure that #h results later this year will reflect #h hard work. 3=In summary, #N has had a good year so far. 4=Gute Arbeit #N! 5=I hope that #N takes on board this feedback and makes the necessary changes so #e can exceed #h target grade, which #e is capable of. 6=I am sure that if #N makes these small changes then #e will improve and meet #h target grade. 7=If #N makes these small changes then I have no doubt that #e will make great progress. 8=I know that #e is able to do even better and I would like to see #N believe more in #h ability. 9=The next step for #N is to ensure that #e works to the best of #h ability at all times. 10=Ausgezeichnet #N!
