Speaking a foreign language is, and has always been, an invaluable skill. Studying a language at A Level will not only greatly increase your linguistic skills and cultural awareness but will also offer you excellent employability prospects. This course aims to help students to develop a real passion for languages, increase their knowledge of the nature and diversity of different cultures and provide them with the knowledge, skills and understanding for practical use, further study and employment. The focus is on perfecting communication at a higher level in French/German/ Spanish and developing the four key language skills; reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students will also have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the society, artistic culture, and political life of the languages they are studying, further developing their passion and love for the language.
GCSE Grade 8 or above is required in all three languages. The course will build upon the knowledge and language skills you have acquired at GCSE and will give you the tools and confidence to use language in a variety of situations.
All course content is examined at the end of the two-year course. Each language will broadly follow a similar assessment structure but may differ in weighting and times. Paper 1: Listening, Reading, Summarising & Translation Exercises. 2 hours. 40% of final marks (French: 2 hours 30 minutes, 50%). Paper 2: Writing Exam. One text and one film or two texts from the list set in the specification. 2 hours 40 minutes. 30% of final marks (French: 2 hours, 20%). Oral Exam: 21-23 minutes. 30% of final marks (French: 30%).
