The use of English in the rubrics of certain tasks is modelled closely on the awarding bodies' policies, as is the wording of the German rubrics used.

The reading and listening tasks each have a target mark, identifying performance at Grade C.;The accompanying teacher's notes (packaged with the cassette) include: concise practical guidance on using this resource; transcripts for listening tasks and role plays; and answers where appropriate.
