⭐ Examiner note
AQA mark schemes award credit for students who use repair strategies (¿Puede repetir?, más despacio) because they demonstrate real communicative competence — the ability to manage a conversation when it goes off-script. A student who freezes in silence earns nothing; a student who asks for repetition in Spanish demonstrates active language use and keeps the interaction moving.
