Skills for Life: International Language: Social Activities (Spoken)
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
International language (spoken): social activities is a 10 hour Skills for Life unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, offered in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish. It is one unit that learners combine with other 10 or 20 hour units into a Skills for Life, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma. The whole unit is listening and speaking about leisure, places, transport, food and drink, from recognising and pronouncing familiar words at Entry Level to open questions and a short conversation at Level 2. Numeracy is light: numbers, times and prices heard and said in the language.

Giving basic information orally about social activities
At Entry 1 learners use familiar words to express simple needs or wishes, at Entry 2 they use short phrases, and at Entry 3 they use simple sentences to respond orally. This is required by the Entry Level assessment criteria, and the amplification adds likes and dislikes, prices, times and where activities take place.

Da gwybod
- There is no test. The unit "is centre assessed and externally quality assured by WJEC", and evidence "may be verbal, written, practical, or visual", with "extended written work" not required unless appropriate (Sources of evidence, page 14).
- Speaking evidence is usually recorded or observed: sources include "audio recording of candidate", "video recording of role-play" and "teacher observation notes" (Sources of evidence, page 14).
- The levels follow the CEFR: Entry Level criteria reflect "pre-A1 to A1" and Level 1 and 2 criteria reflect "A2 to B1" (Relationship to the CEFR, page 8). The criteria "assume that learners have no previous experience of the language being learnt" (Planning courses, page 7).
- Plural wording sets a minimum: "a plural reference within assessment criterion refers to a minimum of two" (pages 5 and 6), and Level 1 learning outcome 1 asks for "three details" (page 6).
- Support depends on level: "Entry 1 Learners will require a high level of support, including verbal, visual and practical assistance" (Specification, Section 4.2, page 19).
- Suggested activities and tasks are optional: "These tasks are not mandatory." (Specification, Section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools: misuse includes "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work" and "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information" (Specification, Section 4.6, page 21).
- The unit is offered in six languages: "This unit is available in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish." (Unit overview, page 3). The unit page gives no code and refers to the specification, which lists the codes as "TBC" (Section 3.1, page 13).
- The unit overview places the literacy in talk: learners develop literacy "with an emphasis on speaking and listening" (Unit overview, page 3).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The listening and speaking skills match those in GCSE French, GCSE German and GCSE Spanish, though the pack says learners already taking one of those GCSEs "may not benefit" from this unit in the same language and may prefer a new one, such as Italian, Japanese or Mandarin. The pack names VCSE Travel and Tourism and GCSE Business as qualifications it could complement, and ordering food, menus, restaurant bookings and car hire also suit VCSE Hospitality and Catering. Noting what is heard in English or Cymraeg draws on the English and Welsh that learners also study in GCSE English Language and Literature, GCSE Core Cymraeg or GCSE Cymraeg Language and Literature. Within the Skills Suite it pairs with International language (written): social activities and the communicating personal information and education and employment language units. The numeracy is limited to times and Euro prices.
