2.3 Individually Researched Oral Presentation
Research and present a belonging-linked theme, issue, representation or relationship inspired by the studied prose.
How to use this integrated English guide
Keep language and literature connected: analyse vocabulary, grammar, syntax, structure, form and context together, then transfer that understanding into speaking and writing.
Core concepts
Concept 1
A focused link from the literary study to an independently researched topic
Exam cue: Confirm the current integrated WJEC award route, unit, text or anthology requirement and live assessment task before applying a strategy.
Concept 2
Reliability, validity, selection and responsible use of sources and evidence
Exam cue: Define a focused question, evaluate the evidence and organise the presentation around a reasoned viewpoint rather than a list of facts.
Concept 3
Clear structure, suitable register, engaging delivery and coherent spoken English
Exam cue: Link linguistic and literary analysis: name the exact choice, explain how it creates meaning, and connect it to context, viewpoint, purpose or audience.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Summarising the prose text again or using research whose reliability and connection to belonging are not explained.
Guardrail: Confirm whether the material is common, centre-selected, WJEC-prescribed for the series, Single-only or Double-only before applying it.
Importing the legacy separated English Language or English Literature structure, an Eduqas specification or another board's assessment rules.
Guardrail: Do not import the legacy separated specifications, bind optional texts universally or combine mutually exclusive award routes.
Treating optional texts, current biennial NEA tasks or route-specific units as universal requirements for every learner.
Guardrail: Use Units 1-3 plus 4a for Single or Units 1-3 plus 4b, 5 and 6 for Double; never add weights, text lists or tasks across routes.
