Skills for Work: International Language: Education and Employment (Written)
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
International language (written): education and employment is a 10 hour Skills for Work unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, offered in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish. Learners read and write about school, college, jobs and the workplace, from single words at Entry 1 to opinions and written requests at Level 2. It is one unit learners combine with other 10 or 20 hour units into a Skills for Work, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma. Digital demand is low and no criterion asks for digital work. Digital skills appear only in suggested emails, online research, Canva posters, partner school links and quiz tools.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): Two learning outcomes (understand information relating to education and employment, write about education and employment), with assessment criteria at Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3, including correct spelling. Entry Level reflects pre-A1 to A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 10 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: Two learning outcomes (understand key facts and information in texts relating to education and employment, produce texts about education and employment), with one reading criterion and four writing criteria at each of Level 1 and Level 2: facts and information, opinions, answers to questions and written requests. Levels 1 and 2 reflect A2 to B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 10 guided learning hours.
Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Creu cynnwys digidol
-
Writing emails in the target language
Learners could complete a gap-fill email confirming work details and then write their own short workplace email, and the Level 1 amplification suggests topics such as looking for an email exchange partner. Level 2 amplification covers formal letter or email layout, openings and endings and phrases to apply for a job. An email can evidence the written request criteria L1 2.4 and L2 2.4, but nothing requires it to be digital, so the email skill is taught, not assessed.

Making a visual timetable or poster in the target language
Learners could use a digital tool such as Canva to make a visual timetable or poster in the assessed language showing their weekly subjects and favourite lesson, with a short opinion sentence. This is a suggested activity only, so it is taught, not assessed, though the opinion sentence could support the written opinion criteria.

Da gwybod
- Unit codes are not printed in the pack, which says "Please refer to the Skills for Life and Work qualifications specification" (Unit overview, page 3). The specification lists each language version separately with the code "TBC" (Specification section 3.1, pages 15 and 16).
- The unit runs in six languages: "This unit is available in French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish." The title on the certificate shows the language achieved (Unit overview, page 3).
- The criteria "assume that learners have no previous experience of the language being learnt", and learners already taking GCSE French, German or Spanish "may not benefit from taking an international language unit in the same language" (Planning courses, page 7).
- No digital resource is required. The unit uses "standard classroom environments", though "it would be beneficial to have access to computers, tablets, or mobile devices for digital activities and research" (Resources required for delivery, page 16). Assessors "should have subject-specific expertise in language teaching and assessment" (page 18).
- Evidence is mostly paper or photographed: possible sources include "photographic evidence / photocopies of mini whiteboards", worksheets, a gap-fill exercise and teacher observation notes (Sources of evidence, page 15), and a portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" (Specification section 4.1, page 18).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory"; teachers may use, adapt or replace them as long as learners can meet all the criteria (Specification section 4.1, page 18).
- AI misuse is malpractice. Misuse includes "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work", and learners "cannot be credited for any work they produce for assessment which is not their own" (Specification section 4.6, page 21).
- Appendix A maps the unit to Literacy only, not Digital Competence or Numeracy, and to the cross-cutting themes of local, national and international contexts and human rights education (Specification, pages 27 and 29). Only one level counts: "only the highest level of the unit achieved will count towards the GLH" (Specification section 2.2, page 10).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack pairs this unit with the other WJEC international language units, Education and employment (spoken) and the spoken and written units in Social activities and Communicating personal information, and suggests it can complement VCSE Travel and Tourism and GCSE Business. It covers school and jobs topics also found in GCSE French, GCSE German and GCSE Spanish, but at a lower level, and the pack suggests GCSE learners try a different language. The digital work here is light: emails, online research, Canva posters and quiz tools. The Level 2 formal email and job application phrases link with the Applying for Jobs unit.
