5.1.1 Listening and Responding to Views
Understand, mediate and evaluate ideas from annual printed stimuli and from other speakers in a Welsh group discussion.
How to use this English-interface Cymraeg guide
Read the strategy in English, then return to the Welsh source: quote and analyse its exact wording and produce every assessed response in accurate Cymraeg.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Main ideas, details, opinions, purposes and conclusions
Exam cue: Confirm the current WJEC route, unit, task and assessment control before choosing a reading, writing or speaking strategy.
Concept 2
Paraphrase, summary and interpretation as mediation
Exam cue: Show active listening by referring directly to a stimulus detail or another speaker's point before extending or challenging it.
Concept 3
Constructive response to different texts, ideas and perspectives
Exam cue: Use the English guidance to plan the skill, but cite, analyse and produce the assessed response in accurate Welsh.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Delivering prepared content without demonstrating listening, mediation or response.
Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Answering the assessed task in English or translating away the Welsh wording, quotation, register, grammar or literary effect being assessed.
Guardrail: Do not translate away the assessed Welsh, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Binding every learner to an optional centre-selected text, poem or stimulus, or combining Single and Double Award units into one route.
Guardrail: Use Units 1-3 plus 4a for Single or Units 1-3 plus 4b, 5 and 6 for Double; never add weights or tasks across routes.
