Course summary

A-Level modern foreign languages is a fantastic subject to study. The main aim is to immerse yourself in the culture and language as much as possible throughout the 2 academic year course learning about the culture, it’s society, history and politics. You will be assessed in a range of skills, including listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammatical skill and translation. You will build on the language and skills you have established at GCSE, while developing the ability to communicate spontaneously in the target language. The topics studied at A-level are more advanced than those at GCSE, and include aspects of modern French-, German- or Spanish-speaking society, current trends and issues, artistic culture and politics. In addition, you will complete guided study of a literary work and of a film in the target language.
