GCSE English Language: submitting NEA sample files in summer 2024

For summer 2024 we’ve made changes to the way you submit your non-exam assessment (NEA) coursework samples for GCSE English Spoken Language.  

For the summer 2024 series onwards, for NEA Spoken Language (8700/C), you’ll upload sample files to us digitally on Centre Services using Centre Marks Submission, so the same place where you submit your NEA marks/grades.

Audio and visual files no longer need to be sent to us on a CD or memory stick, and hard copies of learners’ sample work will need to be submitted digitally. 

We’ve got detailed guidance on how to upload NEA files for the required sample once grades have been submitted. The guidance documents also have helpful questions and answers to support you. Remember to email a copy of the NEA, fieldwork and live performance centre declaration form to us separately at NEAdeclaration@aqa.org.uk by 15 May 2024.

Get ready to submit moderated NEA files

So that you can be ready to submit files in April and May, we’ve got some helpful tips to help you prepare. There’s more information on our Centre marks submission pages.

Instructions for conducting and recording audio-visual evidence

We have guidance for conducting and recording audio-visual evidence for the spoken language endorsement. The guide can be found on our GCSE English Language qualifications pages.

The deadline to submit NEA GCSE English spoken language endorsement grades is 7 May 2024.
