Project Details

Description

This research project had two main aims. The first aim was to examine the number and frequency of words used in the listening and reading tests in four years of GCSE exams in French, German, and Spanish. The second aim was to explore the extent to which a frequency-informed word list (in line with the new GCSE in MFL subjects) prepares GCSE learners for their exams relative to a topic-informed word list (in line with the current GCSE in MFL subjects).
