I'd prefer it to be an expectation of correct spelling, rather than the current "pick up some bonus points" approach.<br />"no mention of the importance of taking part in structured group discussion" - that's one of the three assessable components in Unit 2 of the English Language GCSE there. I like the group discussion assessment, I think that's important. I'd be quite happy for Role Play to take a long walk off a short cliff.<br /><br />New thing isn't same as old thing shocker. And Twigg actually gets paid for this? I'm in the wrong career...Paulhttp://www.paulanderson.org.uk/noreply@blogger.com
