Modern Foreign Languages are becoming increasingly important because of their ever -increasing relevance to the world of work. As well as providing a fascinating insight into other cultures, the course is designed to provide the opportunity to explore intellectually stimulating topics including social issues and current affairs. In Paper 1 (50%) you are required to tackle listening and reading comprehension tasks that relate to these topics and to translate short passages from English into French and French into English. In Paper 2 (20%) you are required to write about two novels, or a novel and a film, that you have studied during the course (texts/films will be selected by the teacher from the AQA prescribed list). In Paper 3, the Speaking Exam, (30%), you will be expected to discuss issues relating to any of the topic areas listed and to talk about a personal area of research that you have undertaken in Year 13. Language skills are increasingly sought by employers in a wide range of fields; indeed, many international companies expect competence in more than one foreign language. As far as the Consortium and universities are concerned, languages are compatible with almost any combination of support subjects, whether arts, sciences, or a mixture of both.
- 6 or above at GCSE in French - Five Grade 9 – 4 GCSEs or equivalent, including a grade 4 or above in both Maths and English
