What AO5 assesses
AO5 assesses how clearly, effectively and imaginatively you communicate for a specific form, purpose and audience. Your choices of tone, style, register, vocabulary and organisation should suit the task rather than sound impressive for their own sake.
Step-by-step lessons on Edexcel GCSE English Language 4.1.6 AO5: communicate clearly, adapting tone, style and register. Each one builds up to exam-style questions. Start with the non-fiction reading and comparison skills before moving on to extended writing, since Component 2 carries the larger 60% weighting and technical accuracy in spelling, punctuation and grammar is assessed throughout.
