Learning a language is a fantastic way to gain insight into other cultures and ways of life. Being able to communicate in another language opens up a whole new world of opportunities, not only for work and travel, but also for film, literature, history, music, art and sport. We follow the AQA A Level Specification for French and Spanish. The course is linear with all examinations taking place at the end of the second year. Students cover a wide range of topics related to contemporary issues in the relevant country. They also study film and literature as well as undertaking an independent research project as part of the speaking examination.
Ideally, those wanting to study Modern Foreign Languages at A Level should have attained at least a grade 7 at GCSE. However, exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Head of Department. Above all, students should have a love of language learning and a desire to learn about other cultures. The ability to learn independently and the highest degree ofself-motivation are also essential to succeed in the A Level course.
